The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C30H48O2, contains two independent molecules, the main difference between them being that the isopropenyl group is rotated by approximately 180°. In each molecule, the fused six-membered rings have chair–chair–chair–chair conformations and the cyclopentane ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C atom bearing the hydroxymethyl group as the flap. All ring junctions are trans-fused. With the exception of one of the methyl groups adjacent to the C=O group, all the methyl groups are in axial positions. The isopropenyl group is equatorial and the hydroxymethyl group is in an axial orientation. In the crystal, weak C—HO interactions link the molecules into chains along [010]. Weak intramolecular C—HO hydrogen bonds are also observed but the hydroxy groups are not involved in hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C9H8N2O2S, the sulfamoyl –NH2 group is involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding with the sulfonamide O and quinoline N atoms. In the crystal, molecules are linked into dimers via pairs of N—HN hydrogen bonds, forming an R22(10) motif. The dimers are further assembled into chains parallel to the b axis through N—HO hydrogen bonds, generating a C(4) motif. The crystal packing is additionally stabilized by intermolecular C—HO interactions. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a domain ratio of 0.938 (2):0.062 (2). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, at the B3LYP/6–31 G(d,p) level of theory, were used to optimize the molecular structure and to determine interaction energies for the title compound. The resulting interaction energy is ∼4.4 kcal mol−1 per bridge for the C(4) chain and ∼5.9 kcal mol−1 per bridge for the R22(10) motif.

The title compound (systematic name: 4-oxopentanoic acid), C5H8O3, is close to planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0762 Å). In the crystal, the molecules interact via O—HO hydrogen bonds in which the hydroxy O atoms act as donors and the ketone O atoms in adjacent molecules as acceptors, forming C(7) chains along [20-1].

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C4H9NO2, the O—HN hydrogen bonds link the molecules into supramolecular chains extending along the b-axis direction. The conformation of the NOH group in the nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0546 Å) ethyl acetohydroximate molecule is trans to N=C.
