The relative stereochemistry at C‐2 of the title compound, C 7 H 10 O 5 , was determined by X‐ray crystallographic analysis of the arabinonolactone, which adopts a boat conformation with a flagpole hydroxyl group. Its absolute configuration was determined by the use of d ‐erythronolactone as the starting material.
