Crystal structure of 5α-bromo-8β,9α-dimethyl-hydrindane-1,4-dione

The molecular structure of 5-bromo-8,9-dimethylhydrindane-1,4-dione (C₁₁H₁₅BrO₂) has been confirmed using three-dimensional X-ray data collected by means of a Picker FACS-1 four-circle diffractometer. The compound crystallized in the space groupC2/c with unit cell constantsa = 26.56(5),b = 6.68(1),c = 12.32(2) Å and = 90.6(1) °; the density was 1.55 g cm^–3 andZ = 8. Least-squares refinement of the positional and anistropic thermal parameters gave a finalR ₁ value of 0.083 for 793 significant reflections.
