(1-Adamantyl)(3-aminophenyl)methanone

Abstract

In the crystal sructure of the title compound, C17H21NO, the molecular packing is stabilized by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds and additional weak N—H...π interactions, forming chains that propagate along the b axis. Conjugation of the carbonyl group and the benzene ring is rather attenuated due to a twisting of the carbonyl group from the plane of the benzene ring [torsion angle = 27.1 (2)°].
