Abstract
The crystal structure of maltitol (4-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-glucitol) w
as determined by X-ray diffraction at 95 K and refined to a final conventio
nal parameter of R = 0.032. The glucopyranosyl moiety adopts the C-4(1) con
formation. The conformation of the glucitol fragment exhibits a [APP(AM)] b
ent-chain, sickle conformation of the carbon chain. This results in a nearl
y 1,3-parallel C//O interaction between C-13 and O-16. All hydroxyl groups
are involved in a bifurcated entirely intermolecular hydrogen-bond network.
