Methyl 2-(2-Hydroxybenzylideneamino)4,5,6,7-Tetrahydro-1-Benzothiophene-3-Carboxylate

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H17NO3S, the cyclohexene ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.006 (1) Å. The cyclo-hexene ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the thio-phene and benzene rings is 29.7 (1)°. The mol-ecular structure exhibits intra-molecular O - H⋯O, O - H⋯N and C - H⋯S hydrogen bonds, which generate one S(5) and two S(6) motifs. There is also a C - H⋯π inter-action between the cyclo-hexene ring system and the π-system of the benzene ring.
