(2S,3S,4R,4a'R,5R,5a'R,11a'R,12′S,12a'R)-5-(Acetoxymethyl)-2′,2′,10′,10′-tetramethyloctahydro-3H,8′H-spiro[furan-2,7′-[1,3]dioxino[4′,5′:5,6]pyrano[3,2-d][1,3,6]trioxocine]-3,4,12′-triyl triacetate

Abstract

While the crystal structure analysis of the title compound, C26H38O15, a synthetic derivative of sucrose, was originally reported 40 years ago [Drew et al. (1979). Carbohydr. Res. 71, 35–42], the present work has allowed for the determination of its absolute configuration through the application of resonant scattering techniques.
