Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The title compound, C6H12O5, was crystallized from an aqueous solution of 6-de-oxy-l-psicose (6-de-oxy-l-allulose, (3S,4S,5S)-1,3,4,5-tetra-hydroxy-hexan-2-one), and the mol-ecule was confirmed as α-furan-ose with a (3) T 4 (or E 4) conformation, which is a predominant tautomer in solution. This five-membered furan-ose ring structure is the second example in the field of the 6-de-oxy-ketohexose family. The cell volume of the title compound [742.67 (7) Å(3), Z = 4 at room temperature] is only 1.4% smaller than that of β-d-psico-pyran-ose, C6H12O6 (753.056 Å(3), Z = 4 at room temperature).
