The crystal and molecular structure of 1,2:5,6-di- O-isopropylidene-3- O-toluenesulfonyl-α-D-glucofuranose is reported. This compound crystallizes from a petroleum ether/ethyl acetate mixture with the chiral orthorhombic space group P2 12 12 1 with four molecules in the unit cell. The unit cell parameters are: a = 9.7945(7) ？, b = 10.1945(7) ？, c = 21.306(1) ？, and V = 2127.4(2) ？ 3. No classical hydrogen bonds were found. Bond lengths and angles of this tosylated glucofuranose derivative are typical.
