2-Methoxy-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrocycloocta[b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile
Abstract
In the title compound, C20H22N2O2, the central pyridine ring forms a dihedral angle of 76.32 (8)° with the pseudo-axial benzene ring. The cyclooctane ring adopts a twisted boat chair conformation. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H...π interactions between inversion-related molecules result in the formation of linear double chains along the b-axis direction.
