The configuration at the C5 atom was unambiguosly established by single crystal X-ray analysis of the corresponding 5-O-acetyl derivative. The conformation of the furanose and 1,3-dioxolane rings is also discussed. %K Saccharide cyanohydrins %K methyl 2 %K 3-O-isopropylidene-¦Â-L-gulofuranoside %K Xray crystallography %K conformation %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/7/5/437
