The central six-C-atom chain of the title compound, C52H50O10, adopts
a nearly planar extended conformation free from C//C, C//O and O//O 1,
3-parallel interactions. The three torsion angles formed by these atom
s have values of 177.4 (2), 174.2 (2) and -178.0 (2)degrees. The bulky
triphenylmethyl groups, which are oriented gauche to their neighborin
g acetoxy groups with O-C-C-O torsion angles of -69.8 (2) and -63.0 (2
)degrees, cause no distortion of the bond lengths and bond angles of t
he sugar moiety.
