4-(8-Eth­oxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclo­penta­[c]quinolin-4-yl)butane-1-peroxol

Abstract

In the title mol­ecule, C18H23NO3, the hydro­per­oxy­butyl substituent is nearly fully extended, with the four torsion angles in the range 170.23 (10)–178.71 (9)°. The O—O distance in the hydro­peroxide group is 1.4690 (13) Å. This group acts as an inter­molecular hydrogen-bond donor to a quinoline N atom. This results in dimeric units about the respective inversion centers, with graph-set notation R 2 2(18)
