9-(tert-Butylamino)acridine

J. Meszko, K. Krzyminski, A. Konitz and J. Blazejowski

Abstract: The crystal structure of 9-(tert-butylamino)acridine, C₁₇H₁₈N₂, is composed of molecules of the amino tautomeric form. The acridine moiety is slightly folded along the CN line passing through opposite atoms of the central ring, and the orientation of the tert-butylamino group makes the conjugation between the lone pair of the N atom and the acridine -system almost negligible. An intermolecular hydrogen bond, involving the exocyclic NH group as donor and the endocyclic N atom as acceptor, links the molecules into infinite chains stretching along the b axis of the crystal.
