Crystal structure of 4-methyl-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane

Abstract

The title molecule, C5H9O3P, has a bicyclo[2.2.2] structure with the P atom at the prow and the bridge-head C atom, with the bonded methyl group, at the stern. The three six-membered rings in the bicyclo[2.2.2] structure have essentially identical good boat conformations.
