Conformational chirality of dimethyl adamantanoylmalonate

K. Molcanov, B. Kojic-Prodic, M. Matkovic and K. Mlinaric-Majerski

Abstract: The title molecule, C₁₆H₂₂O₅, is conformationally chiral. The non-ring methine C atom acts as an `asymmetric' atom owing to different orientations of carboxymethyl groups, and conformational chirality is observed in the solid state. The weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds create a two-dimensional network in the (100) plane.
