The Structure of (1'RS, 2SR,3RS,4'SR)-2,3-(Cyclohex-2′-en-1′, 4′-ylene)-N-(4″-methyl-phenyl)succinimide

Abstract

A single-crystal X-ray structure determination gave the crystal and molecular parameters of\ (1′RS,2SR,3RS,4′SR)-2,3-(cyclohex-2′-en-1′,4′- ylene )-N-(4′-methylphenyl) succinimide , including the positions of all hydrogen atoms and the conformation of the 4′-methylphenyi group. The latter is possibly controlled by steric interactions between the ortho hydrogen atoms on the 4″-methylphenyl ring and the carbonyl oxygen atoms of the imide moiety. The six atoms of the imide moiety [O(10), C(9), N(8), C(13), O(14) and C(5) on the ORTEP plot in Fig. 1] are planar within 0.04 Ǻ.
