Abstract
In the title compound, -4,6,8-trimethyl-2,9-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-6 -yl 1-imidazolecarboxylate, C16H24N2O4, the 2,9-dioxabicyclo-[3.3.1]no nane ring system assumes a double-chair conformation. Bond angles arou nd the ring are enlarged compared to normal tetrahedral values to alle viate some of the overcrowding which results from close intramolecular H ... H and C ... C contacts. The N-imidazolylcarbonyloxy group is ne arly planar with dihedral angles of 5.2 (2) and 6.0 (2)-degrees betwee n the imidazole and carbonyl groups for molecules 1 and 2, respectivel y.
