Abstract
In the title compound, the cyclooctene ring has a boat–chair conformation.
In the title compound, C20H23ClN2O2, the cyclooctene ring has a boat–chair conformation. The ethyl formate moiety is equally disordered over two positions. The dihedral angle between the pyridine and chlorophenyl rings is 81.33 (13)°. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond helps to stabilize the molecular conformation. In the crystal, N—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding leads to the formation of dimers with an R22(8) graph-set motif. Additional consolidation of the packing in the crystal is achieved through C—H⋯π and π–π stacking interactions. The intermolecular interactions were quantified and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, revealing that H⋯H interactions contribute by far the most to the crystal packing (63.6%).
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
