Deskripsi

The title compound, C11H18O3, was synthesized to prove the relative configuration of the corresponding acyclic C1—C8 stereopentade. It crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, which show only slight differences. The molecules are linked via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in two crystallographically independent chains of molecules propagating in the a-axis direction. The absolute configuration was known from the synthesis.
