Abstract
Pseudotropine crystallizes in the space group Pnam, a= 8.023 + 6, b = 10-555 + 4, c = 9.391 + 4 &. The molecular symmetry is m. The N-CH3 group is equatorially attached with respect to the piperidine ring, which is in a deformed chair form. The deformation can be ascribed to the formation of the ethylene bridge, and to steric hindrance of the atoms of this bridge with the carbon atom 3, and also slightly with the N-methyl group. The molecules are bound by OH-N bridges to form chains along the X axis.
