X-ray crystallography unequivocally confirmed the stereochemistry of the 2-C-methyl group in the title mol-ecule, C(10)H(16)O(6), in which the 1,5-lactone ring exists in a boat conformation. The use of d-galactose in the synthesis determined the absolute stereochemistry. The crystal exists as O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded layers in the ab plane, with each mol-ecule acting as a donor and acceptor for two hydrogen bonds. ...[more]
