2-(Naphthalen-1-ylamino)cyclohexanol

Abstract

The title compound, C16H19NO, was synthesized under solvent-free conditions by reaction of 7-oxa-bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane and naphthalen-1-amine in the presence of Ca(CF3COO)2 as catalyst. The cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions into chains parallel to the c axis.
