| Description | In the title compound, C(18)H(24), the adamantane cage consists of three fused cyclohexane rings in almost ideal chair conformations, with C-C-C angles in the range 108.0 (14)-111.1 (15)degrees. The phenyl and 1-adamantyl substituents adopt anti orientations with a C-C-C-C torsion angle of 177.10 (16)degrees. In the crystal packing, the molecules are linked by weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions into chains along the a axis. |
