Crystal structure of [(2R,3R,4S)-3,4-bis(acet-yloxy)-5-iodo-3,4-di-hydro-2H-pyran-2-yl]methyl acetate.

In the title compound, C12H15IO7, the 3,4-di-hydro-2H-pyran ring is in a distorted half-boat conformation with the atom bearing the acet-yloxy group adjacent to the C atom bearing the methyl-acetate group lying 0.633†(6)†à above the plane of the remaining ring atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0907†à ). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into a supra-molecular chain along the a axis through two C-H⋯O inter-actions to the same acceptor carbonyl O atom; these chains pack with no specific inter-molecular inter-actions between them.
