A dry 50 ml round bottom flask was charged with ethyl-2-iodobenzoate (7.24 mmol) in dry THF (10 ml) and cooled to 253 K, isopropyl magnesium bromide (7.24 mmol) was slowly added. After 1 h, when the exchange was completed, 9-anthracene carboxaldehyde (7.24 mmol) was added as a solution in THF (5 ml). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm at room temperature over 30 min. The reaction mixture was poured into NH4Cl solution (20 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 ml). The crude residue was recrystallized from boiling hexane to afford good quality crystals.
H atoms were placed in idealized positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 or 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Owing to the absence of any significant anomalous scatterers in the molecule, the Friedel data were not measured and the configuration was assigned arbitrarily.

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The design of fluorescent chemosensors is an aspect in the field of supramolecular chemistry (de Silva et al., 1997). Many fluorescent sensors containing the anthracene ring system have been designed and investigated (Wang et al., 2002). The fluorescence intensity of compounds with anthracene chromophores can be effectively modulated by introducing different substituents (Luigi & Antonio, 1995). In view of this, the crystal structure of the title compound (I) was determined to establish the conformation of the molecule.
A ORTEP-3 (Farrugia, 1997) plot of the molecule is shown in Fig.1. The bond lengths and bond angles in the anthracene ring system are comparable to those reported for 9-oxo-10-diphenylphosphinoylanthracene (Liu & Song, 2005). The anthracene ring system is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.138 (2) Å for C3. The dihedral angle between the planes of the anthracene and the isobenzofuranone ring systems is 70.74 (4)°.
An intramolecular C2—H2···O1 hydrogen bond leads to the formation of an S(5) ring motif (Bernstein, et al., 1995). The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H···π interactions (Table 2) involving the C1C6 benzene ring (centroid Cg1) [Fig. 2].
