5-Acetoxy-1-acetyl-3-pyrrolin-2-one

D. M. Tooke, M. Lutz and A. L. Spek

Abstract: The chiral title compound, C₈H₉NO₄, crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group P2₁2₁2₁, but in the absence of an atom with significant anomalous dispersion, the absolute configuration could not be determined. The H atoms in both methyl groups are eclipsed with respect to the C=O bond. The structure features weak C-HO interactions that link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
