The title compound, C(24)H(27)NO(9), is one of the epimers of the Henry reaction of 3-O-benzyl-6-O-benzoyl-2-O-isopropyl-idene-a-d-glucofuran-5-one with nitro-methane. The conformation of the five membered rings is as expected from the precursor compound and the mol-ecule is folded with a dihedral angle of 51.4 (2)° between the aromatic rings. One O-H⋯O hydrogen bond and some intra-molecular and inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions are observed in the structure.
