2-Ethyl-6-(2-pyrid­yl)-566a11b-tetra­hydro-7H-indeno21-cquinoline

摘要

The title compound, C23H22N2, was obtained using the three-component imino Diels–Alder reaction via a one-pot condensation between anilines, α-pyridine­carboxy­aldehyde and indene using BF3·OEt2 as the catalyst. The mol­ecular structure reveals the cis-form as the unique diastereoisomer. The crystal structure comprises one-dimensional zigzag ribbons connected via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. C—H⋯π inter­actions also occur.
