(±)-2′-Phenylcyclohexanespiro-4′-(azepano[1,2-b]isoxazolidine)

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the racemic title isoxazolidine, C19H27NO, the relative stereochemistry between the phenyl group and the bridgehead H atom is shown to be syn. There are two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, one of which is the 7R*,13R* enanti­omer, and one of which is the 7S*,13S* enanti­omer. These enanti­omers adopt different orientations of the phenyl ring with respect to the isoxazolidine ring, with C—C—C—C torsion angles of 63.6 (4) and 86.8 (4)°, respectively. In both enanti­omers, the six-membered ring adopts a chair conformation, while the seven-membered ring adopts a twist-chair conformation.
