In the title molecule, C13H13NO, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the fused pyrrole ring is 2.03 (5)°. The methyl group at the 3-position has an equatorial orientation. The cyclohexene ring adopts an Three C atoms of the cyclohexene ring, with their attached H atoms, and all atoms of the methyl group are disordered over two positions, the site-occupancy factors being 0.883 (2) and 0.117 (2). In the molecules are stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A C—H⋯π interaction, involving the benzene ring, is also found.

A solution of 2-(2-phenylhydrazono)-5-methylcyclohexanone (0.216 g. 0.001 mol) in a mixture of acetic acid (20 ml) and hydrochloric acid (5 ml) was refluxed on an oil bath pre-heated to 398 K for 2 h. The contents were then cooled and poured into cold water with stirring. The brown solid which was separated by passing through a column of silica gel and eluted with a (98:2, v/v) petroleum ether-ethyl acetate mixture to yield the title compound (0.148 g, 74%). This was recrystallized from ethanol.
Atoms C2A, C3A, C4A of the cyclohexene ring, with attached hydrogen atoms, and all atoms of the methyl group are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors refined to 0.883 (2) and 0.117 (2). The H atom bonded to N9 was located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å and Uiso(H) = xUeq(parent atom), where x = 1.5 for methyl and 1.2 for all other carbon-bound H atoms.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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 > 2σ(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. |

Substituted 2,3,4,9-tetrahydrocarbazoles have been reported to possess many biological properties, such as central nervous system activity (Mooradian et al., 1977), antihistamine (Jean et al., 2004), antidiabetic (Biere et al., 1973) and anti-inflammatory properties (Lacoume, 1973). We have attached importance to the title compound since some of the carbazole alkaloids, such as clausenapin, murrayafoline-A, murrayafoline-B, murrayastine, murrayaquinone-A have the methyl group as substituent at the C-3 position (Knolker & Reddy, 2002). The preparation of 1-oxo compounds via their corresponding hydrazones have been reported (Sowmithran & Rajendra Prasad, 1986; Rajendra Prasad & Vijayalakshmi, 1994). Guanaseelan et al. (2007a,b), Thiruvalluvar et al. (2007) and Sridharan et al. (2008) have reported the crystal structures of substituted carbazole derivatives, in which the carbazole units are not planar.
In the title molecule, C13H13NO, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the fused pyrrole ring is 2.03 (5)°. The methyl group at position 3 has an equatorial oreintation. The cyclohexene ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, the molecules are stabilized by intermolecular N9—H9···O1(-1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, a C4A—H4B···π(-x, -y, 1 - z) interaction, involving the benzene ring(C4D—C8A), is also found in the crystal stucture.
