Methyl 4-O-pivaloyl-β-D-xylopyranoside

Abstract

The six-membered ring of the title compound, C11H20O6, adopts the chair conformation, with the 4-O-pivaloyl group in an equatorial position. Two vicinal hydroxyl groups of each molecule form four hydrogen bonds of the O—H...O type in a one-dimensional chain running along the b axis.
