1-Methoxy-3-o-tolylbicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2,2-dicarbonitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C18H18N2O, the cyclohexene and cyclohexane rings of the bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene unit adopt distorted boat conformations. In the crystal, molecules exist as C-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen-bonded centrosymmetric R-2(2)(14) dimers, which are further linked by C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
