rac-11-t-Butoxy-1,4-dihydro-1,4-methanoanthracene:A two-dimensional framework structure built from C-H…O and C-H…πhydrogen bonds

The title compound rac-11-t-butoxy-l,4-dihydro-l,4-methanoanthracene(C₁₉H₂₀O,M_r = 264.35) has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR,’H NMR,HRMS spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The crystal belongs to monoclinic,space group P2₁/n,with a = 13.5240（10）,b = 8.3453（6）,c = 13.9604（9） ,β= 100.0190（10）°.The structure of the title compound comprises a norbomene unit with a t-butoxy group,having a naphthalene ring fused on one side.The naphthalene is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.032（2） for atom C（3）.In the crystal,inversion-related molecules are linked by pairs of C-H…O hydrogen bonds,forming a cyclic dimer with R₂²（16） graph-set motif.The C-H…πinteractions are also observed,linking the molecules into a continuous two-dimensional framework structure.
