4-(4-Bromo­phen­yl)-8-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,7-octa­hydro­quinoline-3-carbonitrile

In the title compound, C(17)H(17)BrN(2)O, the N-containing ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C atom carrying the phenyl ring displaced by −0.531 (9) Å from the plane defined by the remaining five atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0099 Å). The benzene ring is almost orthogonal to the ring to which it is attached, the C(CN)—C—C(Ph)—C(Ph) torsion angle being −101.3 (7)°. The cyclo­hexene ring is disordered over two conformations in a statistical ratio. The most prominent inter­actions in the crystal are pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between inversion-related mol­ecules. The resulting dimers are linked into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H⋯N, C—H⋯Br and C—H⋯π inter­actions.
