organic compounds
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H21O5PS, contains two symmetry-independent molecules. The overall molecular geometry of both molecules is very similar. The coumarin ring systems are only insignificantly distorted from planarity. In the structure, C—HO and C—Hπ weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds can be found. In addition, stacking interactions between the rings are present.
organic compounds
In the title racemic compound, C9H19O5P, all interatomic C—C and C—OH distances can be considered normal. The P—O and P=O distances are 1.5583 (8) and 1.5003 (7) Å, respectively. The rings are cis-fused, the phospholane ring exists in a slightly distorted envelope conformation and the cyclohexane ring adopts an almost ideal chair conformation. All hydroxyl groups are anti to the P=O bond. Molecules are linked via medium-strength intermolecular O—HO hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
