Crystal structure of 4-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-4',4'-dimethyl-3-p-tolyl-3',4'-di-hydro-1'H,3H-spiro-[isoxazole-5,2'-naphthalen]-1'-one.

In the title compound, C28H27NO3, the cyclohexanone and isoxazole rings have envelope conformations, with the methylene and spiro C atoms as the flaps, respectively. The mean plane of the isoxazole ring is inclined slightly to thep-tolyl ring, making a dihedral angle of 14.20 (9)°, and is nearly perpendicular to the mean plane through the tetralone moiety and to the methoxyphenyl ring [dihedral angles = 83.41 (8) and 72.12 (9)°, respectively]. The crystal packing is stabilized mainly by van der Waals forces.
