Ms. Loiten et al., Synthesis and crystal structure of 1-(4-bromobenzyl)-4-methyl-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, J CHEM CRYS, 29(4), 1999, pp. 493-496
1-(4-Bromobenzyl)-4-methyl-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, C13H15BrO3, ha
s been synthesized from 4-bromophenylacetic acid chloride via the oxetan es
ter (3-methyl-3-oxetanyl)-methyl-2-(4-bromophenyl)acetate. The crystal stru
cture of the title compound has been determined at low temperature (120 K),
by X-ray diffraction methods. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic
space group P2(1)/n (No. 14), Z = 4, with lattice parameters a = 6.019(5),
b = 20.990(5), c = 9.915(2) Angstrom, and beta = 101.29(1)degrees.
