1,4,4‐Tri­methyl‐9‐phenyl‐8‐oxa‐9‐aza­bi­cyclo­[3.2.2]­non‐6‐en‐2‐one

The structure of the adduct of eucarvone with nitro­so­benzene, C₁₆H₁₉NO₂, is reported. The 3.2.2] bicyclic system corresponds to two seven‐membered rings in boat and distorted chair conformations and a six‐membered ring that adopts a distorted boat conformation. No conjugation is observed between the phenyl group and the N—O system. The packing is directed mainly by a C?O hydrogen bond, C—H?O‐(1 ? x, ?y, z) and by intermolecular C—H?π interactions.
