The lack of C2 molecular symmetry in (1R,2R,3S,6S)-3,6-dibenzyloxycyclohex-4-ene-1,2-diol.
The results of a single-crystal X-ray experiment and density functional theory calculations performed for the title compound, C20H22O4, demonstrate that the lowest energy conformation of this molecule does not contain C2 molecular symmetry.
