Abstract
The crystal structure of trans-sys-trans-4,5:9,10-biscyclohexano-1,3,6,8-tetraoxecane (1) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 10.995(2), b = 5.291(1), c = 12.241(2) Å, β = 114.68(1)°, P21/c, with Z = 2. The structure was solved by the application of symbolic addition procedures and refined with anisotropic thermal parameters for all atoms to a final R value of 0.039 (Rw 0.062) for 1135 independent reflections.The ten-membered tetraoxecane ring is present in the crystal in a boat-chair-boat (BCB) conformation, which is somewhat different in geometry than the BCB conformations observed for cyclodecane derivatives. The causes of these differences are discussed. Intramolecular non-bonded interactions cause one CH2 group to be significantly distorted from local C2v symmetry.
