Pseudosymmetry and high Z′ structures: the case of rac-(2R,2′R,5′S)-2-methyl-5′-[(1R,2R,5S,5′S)-1,4,4,5′-tetramethyldihydro-3′H-3,8-dioxaspiro[bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2,2′-furan]-5′-yl]-3,4,1′,2′,3′,4′-hexahydro-[2,2′-bifuran]-5(2H)-one

The title compound, C22H34O6, is one of the products obtained by oxidation of squalene with the catalytic system RuO4(cat.)/NaIO4. It crystallizes in the P-1 space group, with four crystallographically independent molecules related by a pseudo-C2 symmetry axis. The structural analysis also shows tha...
