Compound 1 was obtained from solketal and succinic anhydride as described by Scriba (1993). Slow crystallization from petroleum ether gave crystals suitable for X-ray analysis. The analytical and spectroscopic data are consistent with the literature. M.p. 60° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 4.32 (q, 1H), 4.21–4.05 (m, 3H), 3.75–3.72 (dd, 1H), 2.67 (t, 4H), 1.43 (s, 3H), 1.36 (s, 3H). 13C NMR (100 MHz): δ 207.34, 172.10, 110.03, 73.62, 66.39, 65.13, 31.03, 28.97, 26.78, 25.46. MS (ESI): m/z (%) = 231 (100) [M—H]-. IR: C═O at 1724, 1711 and 1694 cm-1 (s), C—O at 1234 cm-1 (m), 1,3-dioxalone at 975 cm-1 (s).
The OH hydrogen was refined freely. Methyl H atoms were identified in difference syntheses and refined as idealized rigid groups (C—H 0.98 Å, H—C—H 109.5°) allowed to rotate but not tip. Other H atoms were included at calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with fixed C—H bond lengths of 0.95 Å (CH, aromatic), 0.99 Å (CH2) and 1.00 Å (CH, sp3); Uiso(H) values were fixed at 1.2Ueq of the parent C atom (1.2Ueq for methyl H).
The atom C6 is disordered over two sites with occupancy ratio 0.9:0.1, corresponding to a second conformation of the five-membered ring. An appropriate set of similarity restraints was used to ensure stability of refinement.

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. |

Isopropylidene groups are often used as protecting or activating units in polyhydroxyalkyl compounds used for synthesis of sugar-like derivatives; for a brief introduction and the structure of a related derivative, see the accompanying paper (Kuś et al., 2009).
Hemi-esters of succinic acid are often used for the synthesis of amphiphilic compounds with well organized structure (Osanai et al., 1997). Non-symmetrical esters of succinic acid have been used for the synthesis of prodrugs that release the corresponding drugs very slowly; e.g. steroid drugs (Scriba, 1995) or Phenytoin (Scriba, 1993). Solketal (D,L-isopropylideneglycerol, Aldrich) was used for the synthesis of compound 1.
The molecule of compound 1 is shown in Fig. 1. Bond lengths and angles may be regarded as normal. The chain C2 through to C7 has an approximately extended conformation (absolute torsion angles between 158 and 174°). The five-membered ring displays an envelope conformation, with local mirror symmetry about C8 and the midpoint of C6—C7.
The molecular packing (Fig. 2) is dominated by the formation of the well known carboxylic acid dimers via classical hydrogen bonding. Three further contacts, of the type C—H···O, link the molecules to a three-dimensional pattern.
