title: (7R,8R,8aS)-8-Hydr-oxy-7-phenyl-per-hydro-indolizin-3-one.
abstract: The absolute configuration of the title compound, C(14)H(17)NO(2), was assigned from the synthesis. There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Their geometries are very similar and corresponding bond lengths are almost identical [mean deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.015 (2) Å]. The six-membered ring of the indolizine system adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules form chains parallel to the a axis via inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which help to stabilize the crystal structure.
