Abstract: | 2,8‐Dioxatricyclo3.3.3.01,5]undecane‐3,7‐dione, C9H10O4, (I), is the dilactone acylal of cyclopentanone‐2,2‐diacetic acid. Both molecules in the asymmetric unit have conformational chirality and differ principally in the flexing of the carbon ring, which produces a resolvable conformational disorder in one of the molecules. Three intermolecular C—H⋯O close contacts exist. 7,7′‐Oxybis(2,8‐dioxatricyclo3.3.3.01,5]undecan‐3‐one), C18H22O7, (II), a racemate, lies on a C2 axis and is a non‐meso furanosyl furanoside dimer derived from the monoacid monoaldehyde corresponding to (I). One intermolecular C—H⋯O close contact exists. Diminished intramolecular void space in these small propellanoids generates unusually high crystal density in both species, particularly (I). |
