Abstract

While one of the benzyl ethers of (±)-3,6-di-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-allo-inositol adopts a gauche conformation stabilized by strong intramolecular CH⋯π interactions, the other adopts the anti conformation stabilized by intermolecular CH⋯π interactions in the crystal and this simultaneous action of both intra- and intermolecular CH⋯π interactions manifests an interesting co-operative edge-to-face CH⋯π network.
