Abstract
2-Anilmo-3-bromo-tetrahydro-exo-dicyclopentadiene, C16H20NBr, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21⁄c, with four molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a=9.15, b=17.36, c=9.56 Å, β=108.45°. The structure was solved by superimposing the minimum function upon the first Fourier map based on the Br atom only. The atomic parameters were refined by the block-diagonal least-squares method. Most of bond-angles of carbon atoms forming a tricyclic system in the molecule are somewhat smaller than the ordinary tetrahedral angle, particularly on the bridged carbon atom. The Br atom is bonded to the endo side of the ring and the N atom to exo.
