Abstract

The title compound, C18H19NO, in racemic form, was obtained by the reaction of naphthalene-1-carboxaldehyde with 1-aza-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octan-3-one in the presence of methano-lic potassium hydroxide and subsequent reduction of the product with sodium borohydride to the secondary alcohol. The double bond linking the 1-naphthyl and 1-aza-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octan-3-ol moieties has Z geometry. The C=C - CH=C torsion angle [42.4 (2)°] indicates a deviation of the 1-naphthyl ring from the plane of the double bond connected to the aza-bicyclic ring. Part of the 1-aza-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octan-3-ol moiety is disordered, with the approximate ratio of occupancies being 63:37.
