(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.
