2-Amino-6-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-oxo-3,5-diphenylcyclohex-2-enecarbonitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C25H18Cl2N2O, the cyclohexene ring has a sofa conformation. All the substituents in the cyclohexene ring, except the cyano group (which is axial) occupy equatorial positions. The crystal structure is stabilized through N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a chain extending along the b axis and through C—H...N and C—H...Cl interactions. It is remarkable that only one of the amino H atoms is involved in hydrogen bonding.
