Experimental. The crystals were all thin, somewhat fragile needles that had a tendencu to split lengthwise. IR (taken as a thin film of a melt): 3465, 3102, 2945, 2842, 1531, 1356, 1291, 1236, 1073, 989, 828, 805, 784, 738 cm-1.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.

This is an achiral molecule that happens to crystallize in space group P212121. Since the heaviest atom present was oxygen and the data were collected with Mo Kα radiation, the Friedel opposites were merged prior to the final round of least-squares refinement, in accordance with Acta Cryst. section E policy.

The IUCr CheckCif service reports a C level alert because the value of the refined extinction parameter is 2.83 (i.e. it is less than 3). The refinement appears to be marginally better with the extinction correction included, however. Without this correction, the final R1 value is 4.14% complared to the value of R1 = 3.92 obtained with the correction.

Hydrogen atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and included in the refinement using appropriate riding models. Bond parameters for H atoms were as follows: C—Har = 0.95 Å; C—HMe = 0.98 Å; O—H = 0.84 Å. Hydrogen atom displacement parameters were defined to be 1.2Ueq (C—Har) or 1.5Ueq (C—HMe; O—H) of the attached atom.
