The title compound, C19H16N4O2, has an almost planar fused N-heterocyclic system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å) and an almost planar five-membered 1,3-oxazolidine ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 Å) at the ends of an ethylene chain [N—C—C—N torsion angle = −65.6 (2)°]. The ring systems are inclined at 38.1 (1)° to one another.

1-(2-(2-Oxoxazolidin-3-yl)ethyl)indoline-2,3-dione (0.5 g, 3.84 mmole) and o-phenylenediamine (0.41 g, 3.84 mmole) were heated in xylene (30 ml) and refluxed for twelve hours. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure and the residue recrystallized from ethanol to afford the title compound as yellow crystals.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.93–0.97 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C).The synthesis of new oxindole derivatives having an oxazolindin-2-one unit has been detailed in a recent report (Alsubari et al., 2009). Among related compounds whose structures have been determined is 3-[2-(2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl)ethyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (Alsubari et al., 2010) in which the oxazolidinyl ring has an
with the methylene C atom bonded to the N atom as the flap. The –CH2–CH2– connecting this ring to the other fused-ring system has its substituents in a conformation [torsion angle = 62.7 (2)°]. In the tite compound (Scheme I, Fig. 1), the oxazolidinyl ring is planar (rms 0.015 Å), and there is no indication of any disorder in the ethylene portion of the ring. The fused N-heterocyclic system (rms 0.031 Å) is also planar and the two ring systems are inclined at 38.1 (1)° to one another. . The fused-rings are not stacked directly over one another, however, the distance between two inversion-related fused ring systems is only 3.4 Å (Fig. 2).For background to this class of oxindole derivatives, see: Alsubari et al.

The synthesis of new oxindole derivatives having an oxazolindin-2-one unit has been detailed in a recent report (Alsubari et al., 2009). Among related compounds whose structures have been determined is 3-[2-(2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl)ethyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (Alsubari et al., 2010) in which the oxazolidinyl ring has an envelope conformation with the methylene C atom bonded to the N atom as the flap. The –CH2–CH2– connecting this ring to the other fused-ring system has its substituents in a gauche conformation [torsion angle = 62.7 (2)°]. In the tite compound (Scheme I, Fig. 1), the oxazolidinyl ring is planar (rms 0.015 Å), and there is no indication of any disorder in the ethylene portion of the ring. The fused N-heterocyclic system (rms 0.031 Å) is also planar and the two ring systems are inclined at 38.1 (1)° to one another. . The fused-rings are not stacked directly over one another, however, the distance between two inversion-related fused ring systems is only 3.4 Å (Fig. 2).
