The crystal structure and absolute configuration ofexo- 0130 0138 V 2 Rc,Ss)-(−)-8-p-tolylsulfinyltetracyclo[4.3.0.02,4.03,7]nonane

Abstract

The X-ray diffraction study confirms the Rc,Ss strereochemistry of the title compound. Molecules are linked by relatively close intermolecular contacts through 21 screw axes (C…O[1−x, 0.5+y, 0.5−z] 3.305 A) to form weakly bonded chains along they-direction. The tetracylononane group is highly strained with Csp3-Csp3 bonds ranging from 1.482(5) to 1.535(5) A. C16H18OS,I2,a=7.049(2),b=9.807(2),c=20.274 A, β=96.15(2)°.
