Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(14)H(15)NO, was synthesized from 2-hydroxy-methyl-enecyclo-hepta-none via a Japp-Klingemann acid-catalyzed cyclization. The seven-membered ring exhibits a slightly distorted envelope conformation. N-H?O hydrogen bonds form a centrosymmetric dimer; C-H?O hydrogen bonds and ?-? stacking inter-actions (the centers of the atoms involved in the stacking interaction are separated by 3.504?Å) give rise to another type of centrosymmetric dimer. In combination, these inter-actions create a stair-like chain of mol-ecules that inter-acts only loosely with neighboring chains via van der Waals inter-actions and weak C-H?? contacts.
