[3-Bromomethyl-1-(4-methylphenylsulfonyl)azetidin-3-yl]methanol

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H16BrNO3S, contains two independent molecules. In each molecule, the azetidine four-membered ring adopts a nearly planar conformation, the maximum deviations being 0.087 (3) and 0.079 (3) Å. The mean azetidine plane is twisted by 75.2 (2) and 73.6 (2)° with respect to the plane of the benzene ring in the two independent molecules. The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
