Abstract

In the title compound, C(18)H(24), the adamantane cage consists of three fused cyclo-hexane rings in almost ideal chair conformations, with C-C-C angles in the range 108.0 (14)-111.1 (15)°. The phenyl and 1-adamantyl substituents adopt anti orientations with a C-C-C-C torsion angle of 177.10 (16)°. In the crystal packing, the mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions into chains along the a axis.

A partial view of the crystal packing viewed along the b-axis showing the arrangement of the molecules into chains parallel to the a-axis stabilized by weak C—H···π interactions (dotted lines). Cg1 is the center of gravity of C13–C18. H-atoms (except those which are involved in H-bonding) have been omitted for clarity.
