Abstract

The crystal and molecular structure of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with Z = 1 and a = 9.751 A ̊, b = 10.542 A ̊, c = 5.176 A ̊, α = 87.347°, β = 94.042°, and γ = 91.010°. Gauche-gauche interactions appear in both side chains. The efficient molecular packing and hydrogen bonding network appears to stabilize the observed molecular conformation.
