The title compound, C34H32N2, is formed as a result of the Diels-Alder reaction of N-benzyl­ideneaniline and cyclo­hexen-2-one, catalyzed by zirconium tetra­chloride. The mol­ecule exists as the Z isomer. All three rings in the aza­bicyclo­[2.2.2]octa­ne system adopt boat conformations. The crystal packing is stabilized by van der Waals forces.

Special details top

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.
