Abstract
The X-ray crystallographic structure of tricyclohexylmethyl chloride, a precursor of the tricyclohexylmethyl radical, has been determined. Colourless tablets of C19H33Cl crystallized from hexane/chloroform in the orthorhombic space group Pnma, with cell dimensions a=10.725(3),b=15.670(3),c=10.168(3) Å;V=1708.8(1.3) Å3;Z=4. 1586 reflections withI>3 σ(I), and 302 with zero intensity, on refinement gaveR=0.046,R w=0.076. The three cyclohexyl rings are arranged to give the molecule a plane of symmetry containing the central C−H axis. The large volume per nonhydrogen atom, of about 21.3 Å3, is close to values found in the crystal structures of analogous tricyclohexyl compounds.
