Synthesis and crystal structure of a novel prochiral ketoimine: (E)-acetophenone O-diphenylphosphoryl oxime.
A novel activated prochiral ketoimine, (E)-acetophenone O-diphenylphosphoryl oxime, C(20)H(18)NO(2)P, with an electron-withdrawing substituent on the imine N atom similar to other prochiral ketoimines, has been synthesized and the X-ray crystal stucture determined. The molecules pack together in the solid state via weak intermolecular C-H...O interactions and both face-to-face and edge-to-face π-stacking interactions.
