“…The non-planarity can also be seen from the ring torsion angles, which are clearly different from zero [O1--C2--C3--C4 5.8(2) in (I) and -14.2(2) ° in (II)]. Previous single-crystal X-ray investigations on substituted oxetane derivatives (Seitz et al, 1994;Khan, Morris, Smith & Walsh, 1991;Morris, Smith & Walsh, 1987;George & Gilardi, 1986;Hospital, Leroy, Bats & Moulines, 1978;Holan, Kowala & Wunderlich, 1973) show that the puckering angles can vary from 0 to 22.9 (2) °. Furthermore, the crystal structure of unsubstituted oxetane has been determined at temperatures of 90 and 140 K (Luger & Buschmann, 1984); the ring exhibits a non-planar structure with puckering angles of 10.7(1) ° at 90K and 8.7(2) ° at 140 K.…”
