Description
Summary:The title compound, C13H16O, comprises two fused five-membered rings. Each ring has an envelope conformation, with the ether O atom in the furanose ring, and the CMe2 atom in the acetonide ring as the flap atoms. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related molecules associate via hydroxy–ether O—H...O hydrogen bonds and the resulting dimers are linked into a supramolecular chain with a flattened topology via C—H...Ohydroxy contacts, and aligned in the a-axis direction.
