Ethyl 2-(1234-tetrahydro­spiro­carba­zole-32′-13dioxolan-9-yl)acetate

摘要

In the title compound, C18H21NO4, the hydrogenated six-membered ring of the carbazole unit adopts a half-chair conformation. The dioxolane ring and ethyl­acetate substituent point to opposite sides of the carbazole plane. The ethyl­acetate substituent adopts an essentially fully extended conformation, and its mean plane forms a dihedral angle of 83.8 (1)° with respect to the carbazole mean plane. The mol­ecules are arranged into stacks in which the carbazole planes form a dihedral angle of 4.4 (1)° and have an approximate inter­planar separation of 3.6 Å.
