The crystal structure unequivocally confirms the relative stereochemistry of the title compound, C(6)H(13)FO(5) [6-de-oxy-6-fluoro-d-galactitol or (2S,3R,4R,5S)-6-fluoro-hexane-1,2,3,4,5-penta-ol]. The absolute stereochemistry was determined from the use of d-galactose as the starting material. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by O-H⋯O and O-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network with each mol-ecule acting as a donor and acceptor for five hydrogen bonds. ...[more]
