Crystal structure and absolute configuration of lycopodine hydrochloride
Abstract
Crystals of the title compound are orthorhombic, space group P212121, a= 7·606(1), b= 9·540(1),c= 21.371(1)Å, Z= 4. The structure was solved from diffractometer data by Patterson and heavy-atom methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R 0·050 for 1687 independent reflexions. The results confirm the chirality (I) earlier deduced from chemical work and a positive Cotton effect.
