Abstract

In the X-ray crystal structure of the alkynol 5β-hydroxy-5α-(prop-2-ynyl)-10β-methyl-Δ1(9)-octalin-2-one [C14H18O2, Pca2 1, a = 13.559(1), b = 7.960(2), c = 21.748(3) Å], the hydroxyl and propynyl groups form a hydrogen bond chain C---C-H⋯O-H⋯O which is supposed to be a cooperative arrangement. Quantum chemical calculations estimate cooperativity enhancement within the array to be 0.4 kcal/mol, which is only a small (but recognizable) effect.
