Abstract

The title mol-ecule, C5H9O3P, has a bi-cyclo-[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 bi-cyclo-[2.2.2] structure have essentially identical good boat conformations.

Keywords: 2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane; bicyclic phosphites; crystal structure.
