The structures of cis-2-(m-nitrophenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (1) and 1-phenyl-2-methylcyclopropene-3-carboxylic acid (2) have been determined by X-ray methods.Crystal of 1 are triclinic, space group P1, with a=9.499 Angstroem, α=60.24, β=63.76, γ=71.36, and two molecules in the unit cell.Crystals of are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with four molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a=9.354, b=13.286, c=8.187 Angstroem, and β=98.22.The carboxyl group of 1 approaches the bisecting conformation.The phenyl group is 37 deg from this conformation, by contrast with the unhindered compound 2-(p-nitrophenyl)cyclopropyl methyl ketone.In 2 the carboxyl group bisect the three-membered ring, indicating that carbonyl-cyclopropene ? interactions can oocur if sterically allowed.The two rings are essentially coplanar, permitting maximum interaction of the phenyl group and the double bond.In both compounds, the carbonyl oxygen of the carboxyl is the nearer oxygen to the three-membered ring.
