The structure of the title compound [systematic name: (4-chlorophenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)methanone], C19H21ClO, has been redetermined at 100 K. The redetermination is of significantly higher precision than the previous at 133 K and reveals disorder of the one of the o-ethyl groups [occupancy factors = 0.77 (1) and 0.23 (1)] that was not identified in the previous report [Takahashi & Ito (2010). CrystEngComm, 12, 1628–1634]. The C—C—C—C torsion angles of the major and minor disorder components of the ethyl group with respect to the attached benzene ring are −103.7 (2) and −172.0 (6)°, respectively. It is of interest that the title compound does not display a single-crystal-to-single-crystal polymorphic on cooling, as was observed for a closely related compound, a fact that can be attributed to the disorder in the ethyl group.

The title compound was prepared from 1,3,5-triethylbenzene and 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride by a Friedel-Crafts reaction as described in the literature (Ito et al. 1985). Colourless prism-like crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of an MeOH solution of the title compound.
The H atoms of the disordered ethyl groups and the methyl group in the p-ethyl substituent in the molecule were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with C—H = 0.98 Å. All other H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters (set to 1.2 or 1.5 times the Ueq of the parent atom).

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, 4-chloro-2',4',6'-triethylbenzophenone, is analogous to 3,4-dichloro-2',4',6'-triethylbenzophenone that undergoes a single-crystal-to-single-crystal polymorphic phase transition on cooling the crystal to 166 K (Takahashi & Ito 2010). In this phase transition one of the o-ethyl groups rotates by 180 °.
Crystal structures of the title compound at 133 K and 173 K were already reported (Takahashi & Ito, 2010: Ito et al. 2009). The crystal structure of the title compound has been redetermined at 100 K. This crystal does not show the same phase transition in this temperature range. However in this structure, one of o-ethyl groups was disordered over two positions with a site-occupancy ratio of 0.77 (1) and 0.23 (1). The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The dihedral angles of the C1—C6—C18—C19 (major disorder component) and C1—C6—C18B—C19B (minor component) are -103.7 (2) and -172.0 (6) °, respectively. This disordered ethyl group operates as a buffer in the crystal on shrinking the crystal lattice, hence this compound does not show the phase transition at low temperature.
