Bis(propan-2-yl) [(2S,3S)-2-hydroxy-3-nitrobutan-2-yl]phosphonate

Abstract

In the title compound, C10H22NO6P, a staggered conformation is found when the molecule is viewed down the central P—C bond, with the oxo and hydroxy groups gauche to each other. The crystal structure features supramolecular chains of helical topology propagating along the b axis, mediated by O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
