The highly conjugated title compound, C23H25Cl2N3, is nearly planar (the mean deviation from the plane being 0.049 Å), except for the –C(CH3)2 group on the cyclohexene ring and the two CH2Cl groups. The cyclohexene ring has an envelope configuration. In the crystal, the packing is stabilized by C—H⋯Cl interactions and C—H⋯π interactions involving the benzene ring.

To a solution of 4-(bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)benzaldehyde (1.0 g, 4.1 mmol) in 10 ml anhydrous DMF, 2-(3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile (0.93 g, 5.0 mmol), 0.5 ml acetic acid, 1 ml piperidine were added, respectively. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 days at room temperature. Then, the mixture was poured into 50 ml of water and filtered. The resulting solid was purified by
(petroleum ether/acetic ester, 5:1). Red product 0.24 g was obtained. Yield: 14.2%. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of the eluate.All the H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93–0.98 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
The title compound, (I), was prepared by the Knoevenagel reaction (Bai et al., 2006; Samyn et al., 2001). With a donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) structure, it is one of the important intermediates used in nonlinear optical materials (Kwon et al., 2006; Shu et al., 1998; Chun et al., 2001; Zheng et al., 2000). We now report the structure (I) (Fig. 1). The C—N1 bond length is shorter than a normal single C—N bond (1.47–1.50 Å) and longer than a double C=N bond distance (1.34–1.38 Å) which is due to the p-π conjugation in the phenyl amine group. Because of the extended conjugation, almost all atoms in the molecule are roughly coplanar, except for the C(CH3)2 and CH2Cl groups. The cyclohexene ring adopts an envelope configuration due to its ring tension, with atom C3 deviating by 0.635 (2) Å from the mean plane through the remaining atoms. The CH2Cl groups are on opposite sides of the plane, the N—C—C—Cl torsion angles are 64.5 (2)° for Cl1—C18—C17—N1 and 173.0 (1)° for Cl2—C20—C19—N1. The structure of a related compound having a diphenyl group instead of the chloroethyl moiety has been reported (Kolev et al., 2005). In the of (I), no hydrogen bonding is found. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H···Cl interactions and C—H···π interactions involving the benzene ring (Table 1, Fig. 2). For the C—H···π interactions, the relevant distances and angles are: C···Cg[i] = 3.459 (4) Å, H···Cg[i] =2.548 (2)Å and C—H···Cg[i]= 156 (1)° [symmetry code: (i) 2 - x, 2 - y, 1 - z].

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. |
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), was prepared by the Knoevenagel reaction (Bai et al., 2006; Samyn et al., 2001). With a donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) structure, it is one of the important intermediates used in nonlinear optical materials (Kwon et al., 2006; Shu et al., 1998; Chun et al., 2001; Zheng et al., 2000). We now report the structure (I) (Fig. 1). The C—N1 bond length is shorter than a normal single C—N bond (1.47–1.50 Å) and longer than a double C=N bond distance (1.34–1.38 Å) which is due to the p-π conjugation in the phenyl amine group. Because of the extended conjugation, almost all atoms in the molecule are roughly coplanar, except for the C(CH3)2 and CH2Cl groups. The cyclohexene ring adopts an envelope configuration due to its ring tension, with atom C3 deviating by 0.635 (2) Å from the mean plane through the remaining atoms. The CH2Cl groups are on opposite sides of the plane, the N—C—C—Cl torsion angles are 64.5 (2)° for Cl1—C18—C17—N1 and 173.0 (1)° for Cl2—C20—C19—N1. The structure of a related compound having a diphenyl group instead of the chloroethyl moiety has been reported (Kolev et al., 2005). In the crystal structure of (I), no hydrogen bonding is found. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H···Cl interactions and C—H···π interactions involving the benzene ring (Table 1, Fig. 2). For the C—H···π interactions, the relevant distances and angles are: C···Cg[i] = 3.459 (4) Å, H···Cg[i] =2.548 (2)Å and C—H···Cg[i]= 156 (1)° [symmetry code: (i) 2 - x, 2 - y, 1 - z].
