| Description | In the racemic crystal of the title compound, C17H23NO, enantiomers of the two crystallographically independent molecules are linked into face-to-face RSdimers via intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds and pi-pi interactions with centroid-centroid distances of 3.7610 (2) angstrom. The molecules adopt slightly different conformations and contain an adamantane cage consisting of three fused cyclohexane rings in almost ideal chair conformations, with C-C-C angles varying within the range 107.2 (4) - 111.4 (4)degrees. In the hydrogen-bonded pair, the benzene rings are almost coplanar, the dihedral angle between them being 1.29(13)degrees. The molecular packing in the crystal is stabilized by additional intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. |
