Crystal structure of a cyclohexanespiropropane derivative prepared from 1-(nitromethyl)-1,2-epoxycyclohexene and methyl sodiocyanoacetate
Abstract
The structure of 2-hydroxycyclohexanespiro(2′-cyano-2′-methoxycarbonyl)cyclopropane, prepared by the reaction of 1,2-epoxy-1-(nitromethyl)cyclohexane with methyl sodiocyanoacetate, has been determined from X-ray diffraction data. There are two independent molecules in an asymmetric unit. The geometry of cyclopropane is discussed.
