Crystal Structure of (2S,5R)-2-(tert-Butyl)-5-phenyl-5-(cyclopentyl-1-ol)-1,3-dioxolan-4-one

Abstract

(2S,5R)-2-(tert-Butyl)-5-phenyl-5-(cyclopentyl-1-ol)-1,3-dioxolan-4-one has been synthesized by (S)-mandelic acid as a chiral controller. The crystal structure reveals that the phenyl ring and the tert-butyl group are on the same side of the planar five-membered ring, and a quasi-one-dimensional zigzag chain structure was formed through O…O hydrogen bonds.
