title: (E)-2-(4-Fluoro-benzyl-idene)cyclo-octanone.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(17)FO, was prepared directly from the aldol condensation of cyclo-octa-none with 4-fluoro-benz-aldehyde, catalysed by Pd(Ni,Ce) in the presence of trimethyl-silyl chloride. The eight-membered ring adopts a boat-chair conformation.
