The title compound, C18H15NO3, consists of an indolizine ring system and an aromatic ring. The two ring systems are not coplanar, the dihedral angle between the two being 54.26 (7)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers are formed by weak C—H⋯O interactions. These dimeric groups are further extended to form a regular two-dimensional structure by additional weak C—H⋯O interactions.

Ethyl-3-benzoylindolizine-1-carboxylate was prepared by 1,3-dipolar
according to a procedure described in the literature (Wang, et al., 2000). A suspension of N-(benzoylmethyl)pyridinium bromide (C5H5N+–CH2COC6H5 Br-) (10 mmol), ethyl acrylate (40 mmol), Et3N (20 ml) and CrO3 (20 mmol) in DMF (40 ml) was stirred at 90°C for 2 h (monitored by TLC). The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and poured into 5% aqueous HCl (200 mL). The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2 times 50 mL) and the combined extracts were washed with water (2 times 50 mL) and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed to give a solid, which was purified by [silica gel, 20% ethyl acetate in light petroleum (b.p. 60–90°C)] to yield 1.90 g (68%) (I). Yellow crystals were obtained by recrystallization from ethyl acetate at room temperature.H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ: 1.41 (t, 3H, CH3), 4.38 (q, 2H, CH2), 7.10 (t, 1H, H6), 7.44–7.84 (m, 7H, H7, H2 and PhH), 8.39 (d, 1H, H8), 9.98 (d, 1H, H5).
The H atoms were placed in calculated positions and included as part of a riding model, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uequiv values set at 1.2–1.5 Uequiv of the parent atoms.

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.

Indolizine and it's derivatives have been comprehensively applied in biology and medicine due to their particular structures (Tukulula et al., 2010; James et al., 2008; Teklu et al., 2005). They can also be used as organic fluorescence probes (Shen et al., 2008; Shen et al., 2006). In our continuing studies in organic fluorescence probes, we synthesized the ethyl-3-benzoylindolizine-1-carboxylate (I).
The crystal structure of the title compound, C18H15NO3, reveals that all bond lengths and angles have normal values (Table 1 and 2). In the asymmetric unit there is one title compound molecule. The molecular structure consists of one indolizine ring A (C1—C8/N) and an aromatic ring B(C10—C15) (Fig. 1). Rings A and ring B are not coplanar with the dihedral angle between them being 54.26 (7) °.
In the crystal packing there are weak C1—H1···O1i (i: 1 - x,-y,2 - z) interactions between neighbouring molecules forming dimeric groups (Fig. 2). These dimeric groups are further extended into a tegular 2-D structure via weak C14—H14···O3ii (ii: -x,-1/2 + y,0.5 - z) interactions (Fig. 2).
