CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF 8-EXO-BROMO-1,3-METHANOINDANE-2-ENDO-CARBOXYLATE

The crystal structure of 8-exo-bromo-1,3-methanoindane-2-endo-carboxylate, C12H11O2Br, has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallized in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with Z = 4 in a unit cell of dimensions a = 8.264, b = 6.148, c = 21.465 Å. Intensities were measured by automated diffractometer using Mo-Kα, radiation. The structure was solved by the heavy-atom method and refined by least-squares calculations to a final R of 0.083 for 1193 independent reflexions.
