2,6-Anhydro-1,3-di-O-benzyl-D-mannitol

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H24O5, the six-membered pyran­ose ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the planes of the phenyl groups of the benzyl substituents is 63.1°. Two types of inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of infinite chains along the b axis. Only weak C—H⋯O contacts exist between neighboring chains.
