The structure of the adduct of eucarvone with nitrosobenzene, C16H19NO2, is
reported. The [3.2.2] bicyclic system corresponds to two seven-membered ri
ngs in boat and distorted chair conformations and a six-membered ring that
adopts a distorted boat conformation. No conjugation is observed between th
e phenyl group and the N-O system. The packing is directed mainly by a C ..
. O hydrogen bond, C-H ... O-(1 - x, -y, z) and by intermolecular C-H ...pi
interactions.
