Crystal structure analysis of two terpene derivatives

The crystal structures of two terpene derivatives, 2,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro- 7a-hydroxy-3,6-dimethyl-2-benzofuranone (compound I) and β-cyclolavandulic acid (compound II), were determined by single-crystal diffractometry. Compound I, C10H14O3, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with the unit cell parameters a = 6.715(1) Å, b = 7.043(1) Å, c = 20.292(3) Å, and Z = 4. The six-membered ring has an ideal chair conformation. The five-membered ring is planar. Compound II, C10H16O 2, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the unit cell parameters a = 8.446(1) Å, b = 12.156(1) Å, c = 9.901(1) Å, β = 106.29(1)°, and Z = 4. The cyclohexene ring exhibits a half-chair conformation. Both the crystal structures are stabilized by intermolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonds. © 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
