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

Abstract

In the title compound, C25H23Cl2N3, the cyclooctene ring adopts a twist chair–chair conformation. The dihedral angles between the central pyridine ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.013 Å) and the pendant chlorobenzene and benzyl rings are 78.07 (11) and 87.47 (12)°, respectively. No directional interactions could be identified in the crystal and the packing is governed by van der Waals interactions.
