The title compound, C17H27NO, is built up from a four-membered ring to which a six- and a five-membered ring are fused. The cyclo­hexane ring has a chair conformation, while the cyclo­pentene ring has an envelope conformation, with the C atom substituted by the acetamide group as the flap. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the central cyclo­butane ring and the mean planes of the cyclo­pentene and cyclo­hexane rings are 62.52 (2) and 61.06 (11)°, respectively. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction.

Structure description

Our work lies within the framework of the valorization of the most abundant essential oils in Morocco, such as that of Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica). This oil is made up mainly (75%) of bicyclic sesquiterpene hydro­carbons, among which is found the compound, β-himachalene (2,6,6,9-tetra­methylbi­cyclo [5.4.01,7]undeca-1,8-diene; El Haib et al., 2011[El Haib, A., Benharref, A., Parrès-Maynadié, S., Manoury, E., Urrutigoïty, M. & Gouygou, M. (2011). Tetrahedron Asymmetry, 22, 101-108.]). The reactivity of this sesquiterpene and its derivatives has been studied extensively by our team (Zaki et al., 2014[Zaki, M., Benharref, A., El Ammari, L., Saadi, M. & Berraho, M. (2014). Acta Cryst. E70, o444.]; Benharref et al., 2015[Benharref, A., Elkarroumi, J., El Ammari, L., Saadi, M. & Berraho, M. (2015). Acta Cryst. E71, o659-o660.], 2016[Benharref, A., Oukhrib, A., Ait Elhad, M., El Ammari, L., Saadi, M. & Berraho, M. (2016). IUCrData, 1, x160703.]) in order to prepare new products having olfactive properties suitable for the perfume or cosmetics industries. These compounds have been tested, using the food-poisoning technique, for their potential anti­fungal activity against the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea (Daoubi et al., 2004[Daoubi, M., Durán-Patrón, R., Hmamouchi, M., Hernández-Galán, R., Benharref, A. & Collado, I. G. (2004). Pest Manag. Sci. 60, 927-932.]). Herein, we present the crystal structure of the title compound, synthesized by the reaction of 6α,7α-ep­oxy­himachalene with BF3OEt in aceto­nitrile under argon.

The title compound, is built up from three fused rings (Fig. 1[link]). The central four-membered cyclo­butane ring has a folded conformation, with the C6/C7/C11 plane inclined to the C6/C1/C11 plane by 24.99 (17)°. The cyclo­hexane ring, C1–C6, has a chair conformation, while the cyclo­pentene ring, C7–C11, has an envelope conformation with atom C11 as the flap. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the central cyclo­butane ring and mean planes of the cyclo­pentene and cyclo­hexane rings are 62.52 (2) and 61.06 (11)°, respectively. The latter two ring mean planes are inclined to one another by 24.29 (10)°.

In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b-axis direction (Fig. 2[link] and Table 1[link]).

The compound crystallized in the chiral space group P212121; however, it was only possible crystallographically to determine the relative configuration of the asymmetric centers, C11 and C1 (viz. 3aR*,3bS*) [Flack parameter = 0.2 (3)].

Synthesis and crystallization

1 g (4.5 mmol) of 6α,7α-ep­oxy­himachalene (El Jamili et al., 2002[El Jamili, H., Auhmani, A., Dakir, M., Lassaba, E., Benharref, A., Pierrot, M., Chiaroni, A. & Riche, C. (2002). Tetrahedron Lett. 43, 6645-6648.]) was dissolved in 10 ml of CH3CN and stirred at 273 K under argon. BF3OEt (1% mmol) was added to the solution, and the reaction mixture was stirred and monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed and the residue obtained was chromatographed on silica eluting with hexa­ne–ethyl­acetate (90:10), which allowed the isolation of the title compound (yield 783 mg, 68%). It was recrystallized from ethyl acetate with colourless prismatic crystals being obtained on slow evaporation of the solvent.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
