Abstract
The title compound, C6H10O6, had been previously characterized by X-ray analysis but was reported with the wrong absolute configuration [Jeffrey, Rosenstein & Vlasse (1967). Acta Cryst.22, 725–733]. This structure has now been redetermined at higher resolution and including precise positions for H atoms.
