Cis-Cyclo-heptane-1,2-diol.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(7)H(14)O(2), is a vicinal diol derived from cyclo-heptane with cis-orientated hydr-oxy groups. The mol-ecules shows no non-crystallographic symmetry. The O-C-C-O torsion angles of both mol-ecules present in the asymmetric unit [-66.4 (2) and -66.9 (2)°] are similar to those in trans-configured cyclo-hexane derivatives (including pyran-oses) as well as rac-trans-cyclo-heptane-1,2-diol, but smaller than those in trans-configured cyclo-pentane derivatives (including furan-oses). In the crystal structure, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds furnish the formation of sheets parallel to [110].
