3,5-Bis(2-chlorobenzylidene)piperidin-4-one was synthesized by the method described by Dimmock et al. (2000). Briefly, the title compound (I) was prepared by dropwise addition of an acryloyl chloride solution (8.7 mmol) to a stirred mixture of 3,5-bis(2,4-dichlorobenzylidene)piperidin-4-one (5.8 mmol) and acetone (10 ml) in presence of sodium carbonate (29 mmol) at room temperature. After completion of the reaction (through TLC monitoring), the mixture was poured into ice. The precipitate which formed was filtered and washed with water. The pure solid was then recrystallised from ethanol to afford the title compound as yellow crystals.
Atoms H22A, H22B, H22C and H22D were located from a difference Fourier map and refined freely. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.93 or 0.97 Å] and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

α,β-Unsaturated ketones are a biologically active group of chemicals which are produced by reaction of aldehydes and ketones through Claisen-Schmidt condensation. This class of compounds shows diverse biological activities such as cytotoxic (Anke et al., 1981; Khodair et al., 1997), antitumoral (El-Subbagh et al., 2000; Al-Obaid et al., 1996) and antiviral (El-Barbary et al., 1994) properties. The title compound, (I), includes a conjugated system as the fundamental part in determining the bioactivity of this type of compounds (Rungeler et al., 1999) as well as a β-amino ketone in the structure. These compounds proved to have cytotoxic activities without any mutagenic and carcinogenic side effects (Dimmock et al., 1983).
The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of two crystallographically independent (3E,5E)-1-acryloyl- 3,5-bis(2-chlorobenzylidene)piperidin-4-one molecules, (A & B), as shown in Fig. 1. The bond lengths and angles of molecules A and B agree with each other and are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The two chlorobenzene rings are inclined to each other forming dihedral angles of 24.81 (10)° (C1A–C6A:C14A–C19A) in molecule A and 19.15 (8)° (C1B–C6B:C14B–C19B) in molecule B.
The piperidine rings (N1A/C8A–C12A and N1B/C8B–C12B) adopt envelope conformations [puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975): Q = 0.5071 (18) Å, θ = 126.1 (2)° and ϕ = 178.5 (3) °; Q = 0.567 (18) Å, θ = 65.89 (18)° and ϕ = 356.4 (2)°, respectively] with atoms N1A and N1B displaced by 0.6754 (16) and 0.7378 (14) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the remaining atoms (C8A–C12A and C8B–C12B) in the rings.
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the molecules are connected via weak intermolecular C2A—H2AA···O2A, C21A—H21A···O2B, C22A—H22A···O1B, C2B—H2BA···O2B and C22B—H22C···O1A hydrogen bonds forming layers perpendicular to the a axis.
