Crystal and molecular structure of p‐methane triol(C₁₀H₂₀O₃)

Abstract

The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with the space group P2,, having cell parameters u = 8.533 (2) A, b = 10.388(2) A, c = 6.195(2) A, B = 92.17(1)". The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined upto R = 0.076. The six membered cyclo hexane ring is in chair conformation with maximum deviation 0.2296 8, for the C(1) atom. The molecules are held together by hydrogen bonding.* All communications to be sent.
