Crystal structure of C41H53O7Br has been determined by single-crystal X-ray
diffraction. The compound crystalline in the orthorhombic space group P2(1
)2(1)2(1), with a = 11.264(2), b = 12.058(2), c = 29.337(6) Angstrom, Z = 4
. The bond angles of cyclopropane moiety in the molecule are approximate to
60 degrees and agree with theoretic values of the internal angles in a cyc
lopropane, and two chiral menthyloxy groups are located above and under the
whole chiral molecule, respectively. The configuration of the pentacyclic
lactone is shown as envelope form.
