An isopropyl ether (0.5 mL) solution of 1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-nitroethene (0.6 mmol) and 4-ethylcyclohexanone (1.2 mmol) was stirred with the (S)-2-(pyrrolidin-2-ylmethylthio)pyridine (0.12 mmol) as catalyst and benzoic acid (0.12 mmol) as cocatalyst at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. Solvents were removed under vacuum and the residue was purified by
on silica gel (eluent: petroleum ether-ether). Suitable crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of an ether solution.H atoms were placed in calculated position with C—H ranging from 0.93 Å to 0.98 Å. All H atoms were included in the final cycles of
as riding mode, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic, methylene and methine H atoms, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.Data collection: PROCESS-AUTO (Rigaku, 2006); cell

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 Michael reaction (e.g. Luo et al., 2007; Ma et al., 2008; Peelen et al., 2005) of a carbon nucleophile with a nitroalkene is one useful synthetic method for the preparation of nitroalkanes, which are versatile synthetic intermediates owing to the various possible transformations of the nitro group into other useful functional groups (Hayashi et al., 2005). The title compound was obtained from the Michael addition of 4-ethylcyclohexanone to 1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-nitroethene in our laboratory. For related structures, see: Li et al. (2009); Xia et al. (2009); Wu et al. (2011).
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 70.00 (3)° while the plane through the nitro group and the adjacent C16 atom encloses an angle of 63.26 (3)° with the phenyl ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H···O interactions forming chains along the a axis (Table 1).
