Methyl 2-diphenylphosphoryloxy-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-3-exocarboxylate

In the title compound, C20H20NO4P, the dihedral angle between the phenyl rings is 68.52 (7) . In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by a weak C—H(arene) interaction along [010] involving the phenyl CH group and the phenyl rings. There are no further significant intermolecular interactionsThis work was supported by the Centro de Investigaçao em Química of the University of Porto.
