description

The structure of the title compound, C7H8O3, was determined in the course of our studies of the synthesis of cyclopenta[1,2-b]furan-4-one derivatives. The molecule has four chiral C atoms. The X-ray crystal structure analysis shows the compound to possess an epoxide group with an endo orientation with respect to the lactone group.
