In the crystal sructure of the title compound, C17H21NO, the molecular packing is stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and additional weak N—H⋯π interactions, forming chains that propagate along the b axis. Conjugation of the carbonyl group and the benzene ring is rather attenuated due to a twisting of the carbonyl group from the plane of the benzene ring [torsion angle = 27.1 (2)°].

(1-Adamantyl)(3-nitrophenyl)methanone (450 mg, 1.65 mmol) was dissolved in 47 cm3 of warm methanol and 7 cm3 of hydrochloric acid/water (1/1, v/v) was carefully added. Into the refluxed and well stirred mixture, portions of an iron powder (207 mg, 3.71 mmol) were added successively. The reaction was stopped when TLC indicated the consumption of all starting material. The mixture was diluted with 5% solution of sodium hydroxide (40 cm3) and extracted several times with diethyl ether. Combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuum. The desired product was obtained after the purification of crude material using
(silica gel; petroleum ether/ethyl acetate, 1/1, v/v) as a colourless crystalline powder (371 mg, 88%, mp 370–373 K). The crystal used for data collection was grown by spontaneous evaporation from deuterochloroform at room temperature.All carbon bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions with distances of 1.00 Å (R3CH), 0.99 Å (R2CH2) and 0.95 Å (Csp2H), and were refined as riding with their Uiso set to 1.2Ueq of the respective carrier atoms. Nitrogen bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. In the absence of
Friedel pairs were merged.The adamantane cage represents a widely used substituent in medicinal chemistry. A large number of adamantylated biologically active compounds have been described in the literature. For example, they act as tuberculostatics (Ginsberg, 2010), anti-influenza virus agents (Lagoja & De Clercq, 2008) and as type 2 diabetes medications (Ahrén, 2009). The title molecule belongs to the family of newly prepared adamantane-bearing aromatic
as promising building blocks for drugs modification.The π interactions.
of the title compound consists of a single molecule (Fig. 1). The benzene ring is essentially planar with a maximum deviation from the best plane being 0.025 (16) Å for C14. The adamantane cage consists of three fused cyclohexane rings in classical chair conformations, with C—C—C angles varying within the range 107.40 (12)–110.82 (13)°. The torsion angles describing an arrangement of adamantane scaffold, benzene ring and carbonyl bridge C1–C11–C12–C13 and C2–C1–C11–C12 are 151.40 (15) and 78.16 (17)°, respectively. The molecules are linked into chains parallel to the b-axis by N1–H1A···O1 hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 1). The crystal packing is further stabilized by intermolecular N–H···For recent reviews of the biological activity of some adamantane-bearing compounds, see: Ahrén (2009); Ginsberg (2010); Lagoja & De Clercq (2008).

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 > 2σ(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 adamantane cage represents a widely used substituent in medicinal chemistry. A large number of adamantylated biologically active compounds have been described in the literature. For example, they act as tuberculostatics (Ginsberg, 2010), anti-influenza virus agents (Lagoja & De Clercq, 2008) and as type 2 diabetes medications (Ahrén, 2009). The title molecule belongs to the family of newly prepared adamantane-bearing aromatic amines as promising building blocks for drugs modification.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of a single molecule (Fig. 1). The benzene ring is essentially planar with a maximum deviation from the best plane being 0.025 (16) Å for C14. The adamantane cage consists of three fused cyclohexane rings in classical chair conformations, with C—C—C angles varying within the range 107.40 (12)–110.82 (13)°. The torsion angles describing an arrangement of adamantane scaffold, benzene ring and carbonyl bridge C1–C11–C12–C13 and C2–C1–C11–C12 are 151.40 (15) and 78.16 (17)°, respectively. The molecules are linked into chains parallel to the b-axis by N1–H1A···O1 hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 1). The crystal packing is further stabilized by intermolecular N–H···π interactions.
