1-[(2-Chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)amino]adamantane

Abstract

The title compound, C19H24ClNO2, was synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The adamant­yl and benzene groups are bridged by an imine group, with a C—C=N—C torsion angle of −178.2 (2)°. Weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions are found in the crystal packing.

2-[(2-Chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)amino]adamantane

“…The structure of the title compound, (I) ( Fig. 1), differs from that reported for the 1-(2-chloro)-isomer, (II) (Işık et al, 2005), only in the position of the adamantyl group in relation to the rest of the molecule. Both compounds exhibit weak, but slightly different, intermolecular attractions.…”

“…The title compound was synthesized using the same procedure as in the previous paper (Işık et al, 2005). A solution of 2-adamantanamine (0.1 mol) in ethanol (30 ml, 99.9%) was refluxed with an equimolar amount of 2-chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde.…”
