ABSTRACT
In the title compound, C(17)H(21)N, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the imine group (-N=) is 5.1â (4)°. In the adamantane group, the C-C-C bond angles range from 107.88â (19) to 111.33â (17)°. Only weak van der Waals inter-actions contribute to the contribute to the packing of the molecules in the crystal..
ABSTRACT
A novel Schiff base compound, C(20)H(27)NO(2), was obtained by a condensation of rimantadine and 2-hy-droxy-4-meth-oxy-benzaldehyde. An intra-molecular O-Hâ¯N hydrogen bond supports the phenol-imine tautomeric form. The adamantane and imino-methyl-4-meth-oxy-phenol units are arranged in a folded conformation [C-N-C-C torsion angle = 110.9â (3)°]. In the crystal, highly hydro-phobic adamantane moieties are inserted between the imino-methyl-4-meth-oxy-phenol units in a sandwich-like arrangement along the c axis.
