(3S,6R)-3-Benzyloxymethyl-6-methyl- 1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione

The chiral centres in the dilactone moiety of the title compound, C13H14O5, are in the configuration 3S,6R. The ring itself has a somewhat flattened twist-boat conformation. C—H⋯O inter­actions join the mol­ecules into a two-dimensional network running parallel to the (101) plane.
