2,6,6-Trimethylcyclohexene-1-carbaldehyde oxime

Abstract

In the crystal of the title compound C10H17NO, synthesized by the reaction of β-cyclo­citral with hydroxyl­amine hydro­chloride, inversion-related mol­ecules are linked by a pair of O—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the oxime functionalities, forming R 2 2(6) loops. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intra­molecular methyl C—H⋯N inter­actions. The cyclohexene ring has the typical half-chair conformation.
