2-(6-Chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile

J.-F. Li and Y.-H. Luo

Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₀H₇ClN₂, the carbonitrile group is twisted away from the plane of the indole ring system [C_cy-C_me-C_ar-C_ar = -44.7 (8)°; cy = cyanide, me = methylene and ar = aromatic]. In the crystal, N-HN hydrogen bonds link the molecules into C(7) chains propagating in [010]. Aromatic [pi] - [pi] stacking interactions [minimum centroid-centroid separation = 3.663 (3) Å] are also observed.
