N-Benzyl-1,3-dideoxy-1,3-iminol-xylitol

Abstract

The structure determination confirms the stereochemistry of the title compound, C 12H 17NO 3, which contains a fourmembered azetidine ring system. The absolute configuration was determined by the use of dglucose as the starting material. In the crystal, O - H⋯O and O - H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into layers in the ab plane.
