S. J. Coles and M. B. Hursthouse

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₅H₁₉BrO₄, was synthesized during studies on the oxidation of 1,5-dienes. The molecular structure exhibits R and S chiral centres at the 2- and 5- positions on the central tetrahydrofuran moiety, and an S centre at the hydroxyethanone pivot atom. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding gives rise to a one-dimensional-chain structure.
