In tricyclic fragment of the title molecule, C20H14ClNOS, the central 1,4-dihydropyridine ring adopts a boat conformation while the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 17.38 (5)°. In the weak intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains propagating along the b axis.

All chemicals used(reagent grade) were commercially available. S-4-chlorophenyl acridine-9-carbothioate 5.58 g (0.016 mol) was dissolved by dichlormethane, zinc powder 6 g (0.09 mol) and glacial acetic acid 2 mL were added and stirred under the protection of nitrogen at room temperature for 45 min. The mixture was filtered, and evaporated the dissolvent. Colorless crystal of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis was obtained by recrystallization using dichlormethane. 1HMNR(300 MHz, CDCl3): 5.22(1H, s), 6.80(1H, s), 6.81(2H, d), 6.94–6.98(2H, t), 7.18(2H, t), 7.23(2H, dd), 7.27(2H, dd), 7.30(2H,d).
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions (N–H 0.86 Å, C—H 0.93–0.98 Å), and included in the final cycles of
using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq of the parent atom.Data collection: CrystalClear (Rigaku, 2000); cell

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 title compound, (I), was synthesized from S-4-chlorophenyl acridine-9-carbothioate catalyzed by zinc powder and glacial acetic acid using dichlormethane as solvent under the protection of nitrogen at room temperature. (I) is an important intermediate for the synthesis of acridine derivatives which are precursors of practically important chemiluminescent indicators and the chemiluminogenic fragments of chemiluminescent labels (Dodeigne et al., 2000; Ashmore et al., 2008; Zomer & Jacquemijns, 2001).
In (I) (Fig. 1), the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring (C1/C6/C7/C12/C13/N1) adopts a boat conformation: atoms C1, C6, C7 and C12 are coplanar, with atoms C13 and N1 derivating from the plane by 0.072 (9) and 0.300 (9) Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between the C1-C6 ring and C1/C6/C7/C12 plane is 11.43 (5)°. The dihedral angle between the C7-C12 plane and C1/C6/C7/C12 plane is 13.68 (5)°. In the crystal, weak intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1). link the molecules into chains propagated along b axis.
