Abstract
Dimethyl-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene exo,exo-2,3-dicarboxylate (1) was prepared by Fisher esterification of 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]-hept-5-ene exo-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (2) in methanol. The colorless plates obtained were characterized by FT-IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, TGA-DSC, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The material crystallizes in space group P21/c, with a = 9.2375(14) Å, b = 12.8757(18) Å, c = 9.4608(15) Å, β = 115.327(3)°, V = 1017.1(3) Å3, and Z = 4. Chains of hydrogen-bonded molecules along the c-axis interact in the b direction to form layers parallel to the bc plane.
