(1S*,2S*,4S*,5S*)-Cyclohexane-1,2,4,5-tetrol monohydrate

In the title compound, C6H12O4·H2O, 1,4/2,5-cyclo­hexane­tetrol and water mol­ecules are seen to possess twofold symmetry. All four hydrox­yl groups of the tetrol participate in extensive inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding to form mol­ecular tapes propagating along the a axis. Translationally related tapes along the c axis are held together by four coordinated water mol­ecules.
