Crystal structure of (1S,2R,4S)-1-[(morpholin-4-yl)-methyl]-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohexane-1,2-diol

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H25NO3, contains two independent molecules with similar geometry. The morpholine and cyclohexane rings of both molecules adopt a chair conformation. Intramolecular O - H⋯N hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O - H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to the [101] direction. The chains are further connected through C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming undulating layers parallel to the (1¯01) plane. The absolute configuration was assigned by reference to an unchanging chiral centre in the synthetic procedure
