Diethyl [(2RS,5RS)-5-isopropyl-2,3,3-trimethylpyrrolidin-2-yl]phosphonate
Abstract
The cis or trans conformation of the title compound (C14H30NO3P) is difficult to predict because of its dependancy on experimental conditions. X-ray analysis shows a trans stereochemistry of the methyl and isopropyl groups in α positions with respect to the N atom.
