(Received 22 October 2010; accepted 26 October 2010; online 31 October 2010)

The title enamino­ketone, C12H15NO, is a derivative of 4-(phenyl­amino)­pent-3-en-2-one with an approximately planar pentenone backbone, the greatest displacement from the plane being 0.042 (1) Å; the asymmetry in C—C distances in the group suggests the presence of unsaturated bonds. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the pentenone plane is 29.90 (4)°. In the crystal, an intra­molecular N—H⋯O inter­action and an inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond are observed.

Comment top

A well known system in organometallic chemistry is the β-diketone compound AcacH (acetylacetone; or when coordinated acetylacetonato, acac-). A multitude of derivatives have been synthesized to date, with enaminoketones being one type. Since enaminoketones contain N and O atoms as well as an unsaturated C—C bond, these electron-rich compounds are of interest in various fields including liquid crystals (Pyżuk et al., 1993), fluorescence studies (Xia et al., 2008) as well as formation of complexes of medical interest (Tan et al., 2008; Chen & Rhodes, 1996). It also has significant application possibilities in catalysis (Roodt & Steyn, 2000; Brink et al., 2010).

The title compound (Fig. 1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 4. This enaminoketone is a derivative of 4-(phenylamino)pent-3-en-2-one (PhonyH; Shaheen et al., 2006). Bond distances differ significantly from compounds coordinated to rhodium (Table 2; Venter et al., 2009a,b), such as the distance, N1···O1, greatly increasing (~0.2 Å) upon coordination to the metal. Similarities in bond parameters to other uncoordinated enaminoketone compounds (Venter et al., 2010) were observed. The C2—C3 distance of 1.385 (2) Å, versus the C3—C4 bond distance of 1.424 (2) Å indicates an unsaturated bond in the pentenone backbone. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the pentenone plane is 29.90 (4)°.

Experimental top

A solution of acetylacetone (11.02 g, 0.1101 mol), 4-Me-aniline (10.83 g, 0.1010 mol) and 2 drops of H2SO4 (conc.) in 150 ml benzene was refluxed for 24 h in a Dean–Stark trap, filtered and left to crystallize. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained in 16.95 g (88.67%) yield. This compound is stable in air and light over a period of several months.

Refinement top

The methyl and aromatic H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95 and 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) and 1.2Ueq(C), respectively. The methyl groups were generated to fit the difference electron density and the groups were then refined as rigid rotors. The highest residual electron-density peak is 0.74 Å from C5.

Experimental. The intensity data was collected on a Bruker X8 ApexII 4 K Kappa CCD diffractometer using an exposure time of 30 s/frame. A total of 688 frames were collected with a frame width of 0.5° covering up to θ = 27.00° with 99.9% completeness accomplished.

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.

(IV) N,O-bid = 4-(2,6-dimethylphenylamino)pent-3-en-2-onato (Venter et al., 2009b). The dihedral angle is defined as the torsion angle between the N—C—C—C—O plane and the phenyl ring. A positive angle denotes a clockwise rotation.
