4-(2-Fluorophenyl)-2-methoxy-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrocycloocta[b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C19H19FN2O, the cyclooctene ring adopts a twisted boat–chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the plane of the fluorophenyl substituent and that of the pyridine ring is 76.39 (8)°. The F and ortho-H atoms of the fluorobenzene ring are disordered, with occupancy factors of 0.226 (5) and 0.774 (5). In the crystal, no significant interactions are observed between the molecules beyond van der Waals contacts.
