rac-(E,trans)-4-Bromo-10,10-dimethyl-9,11-dioxabicyclo[6.3.0]undec-4-ene

Abstract

In the title compound, a cyclooctene ring in a twist-boat conformation and a dioxolane ring with a distorted envelope conformation are annulated in a trans configuration. Alternating strands of single enantiomers build up the crystal. Within the strands, the molecules are connected by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
