Notes:
The low-temperature crystal stuctures of D- and DL-camphoric anhydride, C10H14O3, have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Although the two enantiomers crystallize in different space groups, the cell volumes and densities are essentially the same. The six-membered rings deviate significantly from planarity, both exhibiting half-boat conformations. The dihedral angle between the six- and five-membered rings is 80.3 (1)° in both cases. The main difference in the molecular stuctures can be described by two torsion angles associated with the H atoms of the methyl substituents. The packing of the racemic and chiral structures are essentially the same.
