Description
Summary:The title compound, C23H18BrN, was synthesized by the reaction of 4-bromobenzaldehyde, naphthalen-2-amine and cyclohexanone in tetrahydrofuran, catalyzed by iodine. The saturated six-membered ring adopts a half-chair conformation, and the four vicinal rings form a helical conformation, which results in a significant deviation from planarity for the pyridine ring. In the crystal, a weak C—H...π interaction occurs, leading to inversion dimers.
