Abstract: Molecules of the title compound, C13H21NO3, crystallize as single enantiomers with four stereogenic centres, their absolute configuration were confirmed by anomalous dispersion effects determined by diffraction measurements on the crystals. Conformations of the pyrrolidine and 1,3-oxolane rings are close to that of an envelope, with the flap atoms displaced by –0.205 (1) and –0.449 (1) Å, respectively, from the plane of the other remaining four atoms. The central six-membered ring of the indolizine moiety adopts a nearly perfect boat conformation, with two atoms displaced by 0.575 (1) and 0.603 (1) Å from the plane of the other remaining four atoms. Crystal structure of the title compound is stabilized by C—H···O hydrogen interactions.

Keywords: conformation, crystal and electronic structure, hydrogen interactions, indolizine, single-crystal X-ray study
