Popis: The synthesis and structure of the substituted trioxane compound 2,4,6,-tri­cyclo­butyl-1,3,5-trioxane is described. The three cyclo­butane rings attached to the 1,3,5-trioxane six-membered ring are all in a cis arrangement. The compound may find application as a stable trimeric form of the fragile cyclo­butane carbaldehyde.
The synthesis and structure of 2,4,6,-tri­cyclo­butyl-1,3,5-trioxane, C15H24O3 1, is described. It was formed in 39% yield during the work-up of the Swern oxidation of cyclo­butyl­methanol and may serve as a stable precursor of the cyclo­butane carbaldehyde. The mol­ecule of 1 occupies a special position (3.m) located at the center of its 1,3,5-trioxane ring. The latter is in a chair conformation, with the symmetry-independent O and C atoms deviating by 0.651 (4) Å from the least-squares plane of the other atoms of the trioxane ring. All three cyclo­butane substituents, which have a butterfly conformation with an angle between the two planes of 25.7 (3)°, are in the cis conformation relative to the 1,3,5-trioxane ring. Inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions between the 1,3,5-trioxane rings consolidate the crystal structure, forming stacks along the c-axis direction. The crystal studied was refined a as a racemic twin.
