Perillartine

The chiral title compound [systematic name: 4-(1-methyl­vinyl)cyclo­hexene-1-carbaldehyde oxime], C(10)H(15)NO, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, one of which shows disorder of its propenyl substituent over two sets of sites in a 50:50 ratio. In both mol­ecules, the six-membered carbaldehyde oxime ring adopts an approximate envelope conformation in which the C atom bearing the propenyl substituent represents the flap position. In both mol­ecules, the plane passing through the propenyl substituent is nearly perpendicular to the mean plane of the six-membered ring [dihedral angles = 84.6 (6) and 87.4 (3)°]. In the crystal, the two independent mol­ecules are linked by a pair O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds across a pseudo-inversion centre, generating a dimer. The unit cell of the known racemate of the title compound is similar to the cell found here, but with space group P [Image: see text].
