(3R,4S)-3,4-Isopropylidenedioxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole 1-oxide

Abstract

The title compound C7H11NO3 was prepared by intra­molecular nucleophilic displacement of 2,3-O-iso-propyl­idene-d-erythronolactol. There are two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, which are related by a pseudo-inversion centre. The crystal structure determination confirms unequivocally the configuration of the chiral centres as 3S,4R. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions link the mol­ecules (into infinite zigzag chains along the a axis.
