J. Cejka et al., STERICALLY CROWDED HETEROCYCLES .6. RELATIVE CONFIGURATION OF DIASTEREOISOMERIC ENYLIMIDAZO[1,2-ALPHA]PYRIDIN-3-YL)PROP-2-EN-1-OLS, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 61(9), 1996, pp. 1380-1385
Relative configuration of the titled racemic compounds la and Ib has b
een elucidated on the basis of a complete X-ray structure determined f
or the higher melting diastereoisomer. The compound 1a crystallizes in
the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2, a=15.610(3) Angstrom, b=18.6
34(4) Angstrom, c=7.5672(7) Angstrom, V=2201.1(6) Angstrom(3), Z=4. Pr
eparative separation of both diasteroisomers is reported.
