Product Information

• Name: (1S,5R)-1,8,8-Trimethyl-3-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2,4-dione
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (1S,5R)-1,8,8-Trimethyl-3-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2,4-dione is a chiral compound with the chemical formula C8H18O4. It has an optical rotation of D = -50° (c = 0.2 in EtOH) and a melting point of 173 °C. The compound is a five-membered ring with two dihedral angles that are related to one another by a 180° rotation around the central carbon atom. The molecule consists of two distinct enantiomers that are not superimposable on each other, which can be seen in the density difference between the two compounds in the solid state. This molecule has been shown to have strong spectral effects on the diffraction of light at 220 nm and 270 nm, which can be seen using optical analysis techniques such as calorimetry and spectroscopy.
