(E)-2-(2-Fluorobenzylidene)cyclooctanone

S.-L. Huang, Y.-L. Zhu and Y.-J. Pan

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₅H₁₇FO, was synthesized directly from the condensation of cyclooctanone with 2-fluorobenzaldehyde, catalysed effectively by palladium in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl). The structure contains a boat-chair eight-membered ring and a benzene ring. The packing of the molecules in the crystal structure is mainly due to C-H interactions and C-HO hydrogen bonds.
