Ms. Hussain et al., CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF -T-BUTYLDIMETHYLSILOXY)PROPYL-2-CYANOCYCLOBUTANONE, Journal of chemical crystallography, 24(2), 1994, pp. 171-174
The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/a,
with a = 12.906(9), b = 11.604(2), c = 14.631(9) angstrom, beta = 108
.70(3)degrees and Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods fr
om diffractometer data and refined to a final R value of 0.057 for 202
0 independent reflections. The structure analysis confirms the cis dis
position of the bulky substituents and indicates a puckered four-membe
red ring with a dihedral angle of 18.5-degrees as expected for a non-c
entrosymmetrically substituted cyclobutanone.
