In the title compound, C10H9IO, the contains two molecules, in which the iodo-bearing six-membered rings adopt envelope conformations [displacements of the flap atoms = 0.419 (3) and 0.431 (3) Å]. In both molecules, the I atoms are disordered over two set of sites in 0.54 (4):0.46 (4) and 0.71 (3):0.29 (3) ratios. In the crystal, the packing features a weak C—H⋯π interaction.

A solution of I2 (7.75 g, 30.5 mmol) in CHCl3 was added as drops to a solution of 1-tetralone (2.198 g, 15.2 mmol) in acetic acid (9.156 g, 0.1526 mol) and refluxed for 28 h. The H2O (30 ml) was added for partitioning. The reaction mixture was extracted with CHCl3 (3 × 15 ml). The combined organic layer was concentrated in vacuo, the crude was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with 5% Na2S2O3 (2 × 15 ml), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, boiled with
concentrated under reduce pressure and allowed for crystallization, which afforded colourless prisms (89%) of (I).The other H-atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93–0.98 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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 > 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, Fig. 1) is an intermediate for the total synthesis of steroidal hormones. The ctystal structures of (II) 2,2-Dibromo-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenone (Haddad, 1986) has been published, which seems relavent to (I).
The asymmetric unit of title compound consists of two individual molecules which are clearly racemate. In the molecule having (S)-configuration, the I-atom containing ring A (C1/C6/C7—C10) is twisted with maximum puckering amplitude QT = 0.431 (3) Å, whereas in (R)-configuration the puckering parameter is QT = 0.419 (3) Å. In two molecules the groups of benzene rings along with two adjacent C-atoms, C (C1—C6/C7/C10) and D (C11—C16/C17/C20) are planar with maximum r. m. s. deviations of 0.0114 and 0.0280 Å respectively, from the respective mean square planes. The dihedral angle between C/D is 66.83 (7) Å. In the first molecule the I-atom is disordered over two set of sites having occupancy ratio of 0.54 (4):0.46 (4). Similarly in the other molecule the I-atom is disordered over two set of sites having occupancy ratio of 0.71 (3):0.29 (3). The molecules are stabilized due to C–H···π interactions (Table 1).
