Abstract: | The crystal and molecular structure of a novel heterocyclic system, 8-methyl-3,3a,4,5-tetrahydrothieno3,2:6,7]thiepino4,5-c]isoxazole, has been determined by X-ray analysis. The seven-membered ring has the boat conformation (B), while the isoxazoline cycle has the flat chair conformation (3E). There are strong steric strains between the vicinal protons at the C(3a), C(3), and C(4) atoms.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 1795–1797, October, 1994. |
