Description
Summary:The crystal structure of the title compound, C16H24N2O, is built up from two fused six- and five-membered rings linked to C9H19 chains. The fused-ring system is essentially planar, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.009 (2) Å. The chain is nearly perpendicular to this plane [dihedral angle = 80.27 (17)°]. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds form dimers with an R22(8) graph-set motif. These dimers are further connected through C—H...O hydrogen bonds, building sheets parallel to (100).
