Abstract: The title compound, C11H16NOS×I, is chiral molecule with three stereogenic centres. The absolute configuration was assigned from the synthesis and confirmed by the structure determination. The central six-membered ring of the indolizine moiety adopts a half-chair conformation with atom displaced by 0.655 (2) Å from the plane of the oder remaining five atoms.The pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation, with the greatest deviation from the mean plane of the ring being 0.646 (2) Å for the bridge head N atom. The crystal structure of the title compound is stabilized by O—H···I and C—H···O hydrogen bonds.

Keywords: conformation, crystal structure, hydrogenbonds, indolizine, single-crystal X-ray study
