The title compound, C21H18ClN, was synthesized by an enantioselective Brønsted acid-catalysed transfer hydrogenation reaction. The six-membered heterocycle adopts a half-chair conformation. It has the biphenyl residue in an axial position. The two rings of the biphenyl residue are almost coplanar [dihedral angle = 2.65 (9)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, which connect the molecules into chains running along the a axis.

The title compound has been synthesized as described by Rueping, Theissmann et al. (2011).
All H atoms could be located by difference Fourier synthesis. Those bonded to C were refined with fixed individual displacement parameters [U(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C)] using a riding model with C—H ranging from 0.95Å to 1.00 Å. The H atom bonded to N was freely refined.
Tetrahydroquinolines are widely distributed in nature. Due to their importance as synthetic intermediates in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and in material science, considerable effort has been made to prepare these important molecules. Recently organocatalyzed processes have found widespread applications (Rueping, Sugiono & Schoepke, 2010; Rueping, Dufour & Schoepke, 2011). In particular Brønsted acid catalyzed transfer hydrogenations have been reported to provide a series of N-heterocyclic compounds with highest enantioselectivities (Rueping et al., 2008; Rueping, Stoeckel et al., 2010). The title compound was synthesized for the first time following this methodology (Rueping, Theissmann et al., 2011) and colourless plates suitable for
determination were obtained.The six-membered heterocycle in the title compound adopts a half chair conformation. It has the biphenyl residue in an axial position. The two rings of the biphenyl residue are almost coplanar [dihedral angle 2.65 (9)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds connecting the molecules to chains running along the a axis.

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. |

Tetrahydroquinolines are widely distributed in nature. Due to their importance as synthetic intermediates in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and in material science, considerable effort has been made to prepare these important molecules. Recently organocatalyzed processes have found widespread applications (Rueping, Sugiono & Schoepke, 2010; Rueping, Dufour & Schoepke, 2011). In particular Brønsted acid catalyzed transfer hydrogenations have been reported to provide a series of N-heterocyclic compounds with highest enantioselectivities (Rueping et al., 2008; Rueping, Stoeckel et al., 2010). The title compound was synthesized for the first time following this methodology (Rueping, Theissmann et al., 2011) and colourless plates suitable for crystal structure determination were obtained.
The six-membered heterocycle in the title compound adopts a half chair conformation. It has the biphenyl residue in an axial position. The two rings of the biphenyl residue are almost coplanar [dihedral angle 2.65 (9)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds connecting the molecules to chains running along the a axis.
