Methyl 3-O-beta-L-fucopyranosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside trihydrate.
The water content of the title compound, C(13)H(24)O(10) x 3H(2)O, creates an extensive hydrogen-bonding pattern, with all the hydroxyl groups of the disaccharide acting as hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors. The water molecules are arranged in columns along the crystallographic b axis and form, together with one of the hydroxyl groups, infinite hydrogen-bonded chains. The conformation of the disaccharide is described by glycosidic torsion angles of -38 and 18 degrees.
