A mixture of (2-bromo-4-nitrobuta-1,3-dienyl)benzene (1 mmol) and cyclohexanone (8 mmol) in the presence of (S)-2-(pyrrolidin-2-ylmethylthio)pyridine(0.2 mmol) as amine catalyst and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid(0.2 mmol) as cocatalyst at room temperature with stirring. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel
(eluent: petroleum ether-aether). Suitable crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl ether solution.H atoms were placed in calculated position with C—H ranging from 0.93 Å to 0.98 Å and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq of the carrier atoms.

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. |

Nitroalkenes are important reagents in organic chemistry and they are the most prominent Michael acceptors used in organocatalytic reactions (Tsogoeva et al., 2007; Sulzer-Mosse et al., 2007; Mukherjee et al., 2007). Consequently, the title compound was synthesized as one of a series of solvent-free Michael products under investigation. In this paper, its absolute configuration and crystal structure are presented.The title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The plane of the phenyl ring and the least-square plane of the cyclohexyl moiety enclose an angle of 63.96 (3)°. The torsion angle O1—C7—Br1—C9 is 139.74 (2)° The molecules are linked by weak N1—O2···Br1 contacts. The O···Br distance is 3.289 Å.
