    Abstract:
    Single-crystal X-ray analysis of the title compound has established its constitution and molecular dimensions. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with Z = 4, in a cell of dimensions: a = 6.39, b = 10.98, C = 9.76 Å. β = 105.6°. The structure was solved by direct phase-determining methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to R 0.085 over 638 reflections. The crystals contain centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers with a conformation in which the C=O bond points over the cyclopropane ring.
