1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexa-O-acetyl-scyllo-inositol

The title mol­ecule, C₁₈H₂₄O₁₂, has crystallographic 2/m symmetry with two acetate group located on a mirror plane. The H—Csp³—O—Csp² torsion angles characterizing orientation of the acetyl groups with respect to the cyclo­hexane ring are 0.0, 23.9 and −23.9°. The cyclo­hexane ring is in a chair conformation with all substituents in equatorial positions. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected through C—H...O hydrogen bonds into a chain extending along the c axis.
