(Received 6 September 2013; accepted 1 October 2013; online 19 October 2013)

The structure of the title compound [alternatively called (R)-(−)-1-aza­bicyclo­[2.2.2]octan-3-ol], C7H13NO, at 100 K has hexa­gonal (P61) symmetry. The structure shows a twist along the C—N pseudo-threefold axis. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains along the c-axis direction. The crystal studied was twinned by merohedry (twin law: 010, 100, 00-1; population: 0.925:0.075)

(R)-(-)-quinuclidin-3-ol (Figure 1) is a key building block for the syntheses of muscarinic receptor ligands, including solifenacin (M3 receptor antagonist),(Naito et al., 2005) revatropate (M3 receptor antagonist),(Alabaster, 1997) and talsaclidine (M1 receptor agonist),(Leusch et al., 2000).

The asymetric unit of the crystal (Figure 1) consists of one single (R)-(-)-quinuclidin-3-ol molecule.

The quinuclidinol moiety has pseudo-threefold symmetry about the N1-C3 axis with C6-N1-C1, C1-N1-C5 and C5-N1-N6 angles of 108.86 (15)°, 108.73 (14)° and 108.72 (14)° respectively, and N1-C1-C2-C3, N1-C6-C7-C3 and N1-C5-C4-C3 torsion angles of -0.9 (3)°, 0.4 (2)° and 0.2 (2)° respectively.

The three piperidine rings formed by (N1, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5), (N1, C5, C4, C3, C7, C6) and (N1, C6, C7, C3, C2, C1) adopt a boat conformation with total puckering amplitutdes QT of 0.8218 (0) (with Θ = 91.84 (0)° and ϕ = -0.2 (0)°), QT of 0.8141 (1) (with Θ = 91.55 (0)° and ϕ = 0.19 (0)°) and QT of 0.8123 (0) (with Θ = 90.95 (0)° and ϕ = -0.17 (0)°), respectively (Cremer & Pople, (1975)).

There is a hydrogen bond (Table 1) which links molecules into infinite chains along the c axis (Figure 2).

Refinement top

All H atoms, on carbon atom or oxygen atom, were placed at calculated positions using a riding model with C-H = 1 Å (methine), 0.99 Å (methylene) or O-H = 0.84 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(CH), Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(CH2) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(OH).

TWIN/BASF refinement type was used to determine absolute configuration from anomalous scattering using the Flack method. (Flack, 1983). The structure display a merohedral twinning and the twin law was found by using TwinRotMat implemented in Platon (Spek, 2009). The use of twin law (0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 -1) with a population of 0.925/0.075 reduced the R1(for I> 2σ(I)) and Flack parameter from 4.96%, 0.2 (9) to 2.34%, 0.01 (4).

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. Refined as a 2-component twin.
