Crystal structure of (E)-4-(acetoxyimino)-N-allyl-3-isopropyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidine-1-carbothioamide

Abstract

The title compound, C26H31N3O2S, crystallizes with two molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In each case, the piperidine ring exists in a twist-boat conformation. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings is 46.16 (12)° in molecule A and 44.95 (12)° in molecule B. In both molecules, the allyl side chain is disordered over two orientations in a 0.649 (9):0.351 (9) ratio for molecule A and 0.826 (10):0.174 (10) ratio for molecule B. In the crystal, neither molecule forms a hydrogen bond from its N—H group, presumably due to steric hindrance. A+A and B+B inversion dimers are formed, linked by pairs of weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds enclosing R22(22) ring motifs.
