(Received 22 June 2011; accepted 9 July 2011; online 16 July 2011)

In the title compound, C16H11ClO, the dihedral angle between the almost planar dihydro­indene ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 Å) and the chloro­benzene ring is 3.51 (14)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by C—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, forming infinite layers parallel to (101).

Comment top

Substituted dihydroindene derivatives have been used as multitargeted kinase inhibitors: Initial efforts focused on the development of selective KDR inhibitors, while later strategies involved the improvement of potency toward multiple kinase targets (Akritopoulou-Zanze et al. 2007). Thus, several dihydroindene derivatives were identified as potent KDR, Flt1, Flt3, and c-Kit inhibitors. Initial strategies involved single target therapies and resulted in the FDA approval of Avastin (a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting VEGF, the growth factor that stimulates VEGFRs) for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (Muhsin et al. 2006). As part of our studies in this area, we now report the synthesis and structure of the title compound, (I).

All parameters in (I) within normal ranges. The dihydroindene ring is almost planar with the maximum deviation of -0.015 (4)Å for atom C7. It make a dihedral angle of 3.51 (14)° with the adjacent benzene ring (Fig. 1). In the crystal, the molecules are interconnected by C—H···O and C—H···Cl interactions (Table 1) to form infinite layers (Fig. 2) parallel to the (101)-plane.

Experimental top

A mixture of 2,3-dihydro-IH-indene-1-one (0.001 mmol) and 4-chlorbenzaldehyde (0.001 mmol) were dissolved in methanol (10 mL) and 30% sodium hydroxide solution (5ml) was added. The solution was stirred for 5 hour. After completion of the reaction as evident from TLC, the mixture was poured into crushed ice then neutralized with Con HCl. The precipitated solid was filtered, washed with water and recrystallised from ethanol to reveal the title compound as light yellow plates of (I).

Refinement top

All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C-H = 0.95 and 0.99Å, and with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
