Isotypic crystal structures of 1-benzyl-4-(4-bromo­phen­yl)-2-imino-125678910-octa­hydro­cyclo­octa­bpyridine-3-carbo­nitrile and 1-benzyl-4-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-2-imino-125678910-octa­hydro­cyclo­octa­bpyridine-3-carbo­nitrile

摘要

The mol­ecules of the two isotypic title compounds, C25H24BrN3, (I), and C25H24FN3, (II), comprise a 2-imino­pyridine ring fused with a cyclo­octane ring. In (I), the cyclo­octane ring adopts a twisted chair–chair conformation, while in (II), this ring adopts a twisted boat–chair conformation. The dihedral angles between the planes of the pyridine ring and the bromo­benzene and phenyl rings are 80.14 (12) and 71.72 (13)°, respectively, in (I). The equivalent angles in (II) are 75.25 (8) and 68.34 (9)°, respectively. In both crystals, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H⋯N inter­actions generate R 2 ²(14) loops, which are further connected by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions, generating (110) sheets.
