(1S,2S)-2-[(S)-2,2,2-Tri­fluoro-1-hy­droxy­eth­yl]-1-tetra­lol

The crystal structure of the title enanti­opure tetralol derivative {systematic name: (1S,2S)-2-[(S)-2,2,2-tri­fluoro-1-hy­droxy­eth­yl]-1,2,3,4-tetra­hydro­naph­thalen-1-ol}, C(12)H(13)F(3)O(2), synthesized by asymmetric transfer hydrogenation, was elucidated by low-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The enanti­opure compound crystallizes in the Sohncke space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit and features intra­molecular as well as inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. The absolute configuration was established from anomalous dispersion effects. [Image: see text]
