rac-(rel-1R,2R,4S)-Spiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3′-indol]-2′-amine

In the racemic title compound, C14H16N2, the aromatic ring component of the aminoindoline system occupies the endo cavity of the norbornane component. The aromatic ring lies at an angle of 74.12 (5)degrees to the plane defined by the four C atoms that comprises the rigid part of the boat-shaped six-membered ring of the norbornane unit. Pairs of molecules assemble in the crystal structure, forming centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers via pairs of N-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds through the syn H atom of the amine group.
