2-[(4-tert-Butyl-anilino)(phen-yl)meth-yl]cyclo-hexa-none

Abstract

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C23H29NO, the cyclo-hexa-none ring has been distorted from the standard chair conformation by the ketone group such that part of the ring is almost flat. The remaining [(4-tert-butyl-anilino)(phen-yl)meth-yl] portion of the mol-ecule is in an equatorial position on the cyclo-hexa-none ring. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 81.52 (8)°. In the crystal packing, mol-ecules are linked by N - H?O hydrogen bonds into infinite one-dimensional chains along the a axis and these chains are stacked down the c axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C - H?O and C - H?? inter-actions.
