In the title compound, C18H18N2O, the cyclohexene and cyclohexane rings of the bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene unit adopt distorted boat conformations. In the crystal, molecules exist as C—H⋯N hydrogen-bonded centrosymmetric R22(14) dimers, which are further linked by C—H⋯π interactions.

2-(2-Methylbenzylidene)malononitrile was prepared from 2-methyl benzaldehyde, malononitrile and potassium carbonate according to the literature method (Zhang et al. 2006). For the preparation of the title compound, 1-methoxycyclohexa-1,3-diene (330 mg, 3 mmol) and 2-(2-methylbenzylidene) malononitrile (459 mg, 3 mmol) were dissolved in benzene (20 ml). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 h, and monitored by TLC. After evaporation of the solvent, the reaction mixture was separated by
using the mixture of hexane-ethyl acetate (1:2) as the eluant. The title compound was recrystallized from methanol in 3 d (m.p. 431–432 K).H atoms were positioned geometrically (C-H = 0.93–0.98 Å) and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(methyl C). A rotating–group model was used for the methyl groups.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The Diels-Alder reactions are among the most useful of all synthetic processes for the construction of complex molecules and, for this reason, they have been studied extensively (Kurt & Anker, 1998). The reaction is easy, rapid and is a key reaction in fundamental organic synthesis. Cycloadducts of asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions have attracted attention owing to their utility in the synthesis of natural compounds (Corey, 2002).
In the conventional Diels-Alder reaction a double bond adds 1,4 to a conjugated diene. The title compound, (I), was prepared by a cycloaddiction reaction from 2-(2-methylbenzylidene) malononitrile and 1-methoxycyclohexa-1,3-diene. Bicyclo[2.2.2]octane and bicycle[2.2.2]octane moieties are essential fragment of many important natural and synthetic biologically active compounds (Potapov, 1988). Both this type bicyclo compounds and many cyano group containing compounds show biological activity (Özkan et al. 2007; Çete et al. 2007). Therefore, synthesis of these compounds in the practically active form is of practical interest (Mamedov et al. 2007).
The overall view and atom-labeling of the molecule of (I) are displayed in Fig. 1. The hydrogen-bonding parameters are given in Table 1 and the packing arrangement of the molecules is illustrated in Fig. 2. In the molecule, cyclohexene rings A(C8/C9/C10/C11/C12/C13) and B(C10/C11/C12/C13/C17/C16), and the cyclohexane ring C(C8/C9/C10/C16/C17/C13) of the bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene unit all adopt distorted boat conformations. The Cremer and Pople (1975) puckering parameters Q, θ and ϕ are 0.810 (2) Å, 84.8 (1)° and 111.8 (1)°, respectively for ring A, 0.788 (2) Å, 86.7 (1)° and 186.3 (1)°, respectively for ring B, and 0.906 (2) Å, 88.4 (1)° and 310.3 (1)°, respectively for ring C.
The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···N hydrogen bonds and C—H···π interactions (Table 1). As shown in Fig. 2, the molecules exist as C12—H12···N1 hydrogen-bonded centrosymmetric R22(14) dimers (Bernstein et al., 1995; Etter, 1990). The dimers are linked through C7—H7C···π interactions.
