In the title compound, C13H16ClNO, the acetylindoline moiety is roughly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0048 Å). The chloropropyl group is out of the plane and is statistically disordered over two positions. Indeed, the Cl and CH3 groups located on the stereogenic carbon exchange with each other. The whole crystal is a racemate. Non-classical C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between symmetry-related benzene rings stabilize the crystal structure.

1 g of (R/S)-1-(1-acetylindolin-5-yl)-2-chloropropan-1-one was dissolved in 50 ml of trifluroacetic acid, and then 1.067 g of triethylsilane was added dropwise within 20 min in -5¯C. The system was stirred overnight in ambient temperature, then extra trifluroacetic acid was distilled out in reduced pressure. To the resulting oil was added 20 ml of water and 5 ml of n-hexane, and stirred for 10 min. The white precipitate was collected through filtration, washed by n-hexane and dried to get 1.24 g of the targeting product. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl acetate solution. Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (CDCl3,δ, p.p.m.): 1.519–1.542(d,3H), 2.236(s,3H), 2.882–3.093(t,2H), 3.171–3.227(t,2H), 4.037–4.124(t,2H), 4.147–4.213(t, 1H), 7.009–7.0977(s,2H), 8.111–8.140(d,1H).
All H atoms attached to C atoms and N atom were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.95Å (aromatic), 0.98 Å (methyl), 0.99 Å (methylene) and 0.96Å (methine) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(Caromatic, Cmethine, Cmethylene) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).
The Cl and CH3 substituents on the stereogenic carbon are exchanging each other and such disorder induces two configurations. Two sets of positions were defined for the atoms of this group and the site occupation factor of each conformation were refined while restraining their sum to unity and using restraints on C—C and C—Cl distances with the help of SAME and PART instructions within SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008). In the last stage of
the disordered Cl and C atoms were anisotropically refined but the anistropic thermal parameters of the C atoms were restrained to have similar atomic displacement parameters within a tolerance s.u. of 0.01 Å2.In searching for new synthetic route of silodosin, a adrenoceptor antagonist (Sorbera et al. 2001; Elworthy et al. 1997; Asselin et al. 2000; Bremner et al. 2000), we synthesized the title compound as racemic intermediate.
In the title compound, C13H16ClNO, the acetylindoline moiety is mainly planar with the largest deviation from the plane being 0.0076 (14)Å at C2. The chloropropane being out of the plane with the C12 atom located 1.0254 (0.0028)Å above the plane (Fig. 1). The chloropropane moiety is statistically disordered over two positions. Indeed, the Cl and CH3 located on the stereogenic carbon exchange each other. The geometry within the 1-acetylindoline fragment compares well with related structures as 1-acetylindoline (Moreno et al., 1998) or 1-(trifluoro)acetylindoline (Wang et al., 2007).
Non-classical C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules forming layers parallel to the (1 0 0) plane (Figure 2).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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. |

In searching for new synthetic route of silodosin, a adrenoceptor antagonist (Sorbera et al. 2001; Elworthy et al. 1997; Asselin et al. 2000; Bremner et al. 2000), we synthesized the title compound as racemic intermediate.
In the title compound, C13H16ClNO, the acetylindoline moiety is mainly planar with the largest deviation from the plane being 0.0076 (14)Å at C2. The chloropropane being out of the plane with the C12 atom located 1.0254 (0.0028)Å above the plane (Fig. 1). The chloropropane moiety is statistically disordered over two positions. Indeed, the Cl and CH3 located on the stereogenic carbon exchange each other. The geometry within the 1-acetylindoline fragment compares well with related structures as 1-acetylindoline (Moreno et al., 1998) or 1-(trifluoro)acetylindoline (Wang et al., 2007).
Non-classical C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules forming layers parallel to the (1 0 0) plane (Figure 2).
