Abstract: As part of a systematic structural study of potentially pharmacologically active [1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indoles, the crystal structures of nine compounds have been determined from laboratory powder diffraction data. The investigated compounds are: 2-oxo-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole-4-oxide, C17H12N4O4 (1a); 2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole-4-oxide, C17H13N3O2 (1b); 2-oxo-1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole-4-oxide, C19H17N3O3 (1c); 2-oxo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole-4-oxide, C17H12N3O2Cl (1d); 2-oxo-1-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole-4-oxide, C18H12N4O2 (1e); 6-methyl-2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole-4-oxide, C18H15N3O2 (1f); 2-formyl-3-[N'-(
-chloracetyl)-N'-(4-nitrophenyl)]aminoindole, C17H12N3O4Cl (2a); 2-formyl-3-[N'-(
-chloracetyl)-N'-(4-nitrophenyl)]aminoindole solvate with toluene (2:1), C17H12N3O4Cl·0.5C7H8 (2as); 2-formyl-3-[N'-(
-chloracetyl)-N'-(4-cyanophenyl)]aminoindole, C18H12N3O2Cl (2e). Compounds (1a)-(1f) crystallize in non-centrosymmetric triclinic, monoclinic and orthorhombic space groups. The three-dimensional structures of (1a)-(1e) demonstrate identical intermolecular NH(indole)
O
N hydrogen bonds, which form linear chains of connected molecules. A comparison of the crystal structures (2a), (2e) and (2as) shows that the solvent used in the re-crystallization of (2a) and (2e), which are intermediates in the synthesis of (1a) and (1e), affects the intermolecular hydrogen-bond formation and, as a result, leads to essentially different yields of the goal products.
