Crystal structure of 1-benzyl-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-imino-1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10-octahydrocycloocta[b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile

Abstract

The title compound, C25H24ClN3, comprises a 2-iminopyridine ring fused with a cyclooctane ring, which adopts a twist boat–chair conformation. In the crystal, C—H...N interactions form R22(14) ring motifs and molecules are further connected by weak C—H...π interactions. The resulting supramolecular structure is a two-dimensional framework parallel to the ab plane.
