Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N-[（3aR,4R,4aR,5aS,6S,6aS）-1,3-Dioxooctahydro-4,6-ethenocyclopropa[f]isoindol-2（1H）-yl]-3-（trifluoromethyl）phenylmethanimine

The crystal structure of the title compound(C19H15F3N2O2,Mr = 360.33) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The crystal belongs to triclinic,space group P1,with a = 6.5604(7),b = 13.9614(16),c = 18.1790(18) ,α = 102.749(7),β = 97.542(6),γ = 94.355(4)°,V = 1600.5(3) 3,Z = 4,Dc = 1.495 g/cm3,λ(MoKα) = 0.71070,F(000) = 744,μ(MoKα) = 0.122 mm-1,R = 0.0434 and wR = 0.1051.A total of 7590 unique reflections were collected,of which 5429 with |F|2 ≥ 2σ|F|2 were observed.The two cyclohexene rings in the molecule adopt boat-boat conformations with the deviations of ring atoms C(9) and C10 from the C(5)/C(6)/C(7)/C(8) plane(Ⅰ) by 1.1204(0.0023) and 1.1132(0.0023) ,respectively,whereas from the C(2)/C(3)/C(5)/C(8) plane(Ⅱ) by 1.1627(0.0022) and 1.1818(0.0021) ,respectively.In the cyclopropane and lactam rings,atoms C(11) and N(1) point towards the double bond of C(9)-C(10) and the dihedral angle between the ring plane(Ⅲ) containing C(1),C(2),C(3) and C(4) and plane(IV) consisting of C(6),C(7) and C(11) is 55.76(0.07)°.The dihedral angles between planes Ⅳ and Ⅰ and Ⅱ and Ⅲare 63.58(0.07)° and 58.10(0.06)°,respectively.The dihedral angle between the benzene ring C(13)～ C(18) and plane Ⅳ is 42.41(0.06)°.
