Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00752793

A study was carried out on the crystal and molecular structure of the γ-sultone of 1-(3-oxy-4-homoadamantyl)ethane-1-sulfonic acid.The data obtained supported the general nature of trans cyclization in the synthesis of homoadamantylsultones from 1-(1-adamantyl)-1-alkanols.An interesting feature of this sultone was discovered, namely, the extremely unusual C3,C4,C5,C12,C13 fragment, in which the distance between the electron density maxima of C4 and C12 is only 1.327 Angstroem, while the sum of the bond angles at C4 and C12 is 360 deg.These features are attributed to the random cocrystallization of different conformers.
