In the crystal structure of the title ketoamine {systematic name: (E)-1,7,7-trimethyl-3-[(1-naphthylamino)methylidene]bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one}, C21H23NO, there are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both molecules have an E configuration about the alkene function. The main conformational difference between the molecules is in the orientation of the plane of the naphthyl rings with respect to the camphor fragment. The torsion angle about the enamine C—N bond is 21.3 (7)° for molecule A, but −24.4 (8)° for molecule B. Intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amino and ketone groups of adjacent independent molecules sustain the crystal, and the resulting extended chains, containing an alternating sequence of the two independent molecules, run parallel to the [001] direction and can be described by a graph-set motif of C 2 2(12).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
