The cyclohexene ring in the title compound, C15H18INO2, adopts a sofa conformation. The dihedral angle between the cyclohexene (through all ring atoms) and benzene rings is 63.3 (1)°. The molecular conformation features an N—H⋯I short contact and the crystal packing features C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

1,3-cyclohexanedione (2 mmol), FeCl3.6H2O (5 mol), and 50 mg of sodium sulfate were succesively added in a dry Schlenk tube under argon. The solids were then dissolved in 3 mL of dichloromethane and stirred for 5 m. Aniline (2 mmol) was slowly added and the dark brown cloloured mixture was allowed to stir overnight. After completion, solvents were removed under vacuum and the crude oil was filtered on a plug of neutral alumina (eluent: dichloromethane/ methanol, 90/10). Solvents were then removed and enaminone product was obtained as a bright yellow solid. Then iodine (3 mmol) dissolved in CCl4/pyridine (1;1, 10 mL) was added dropwise under an atmosphere of argon to a solution of enaminone (1.5 mmol) in CCl4/pyridine (1;1, 10 mL) at 273 K. The mixture was stirred for 2 h during that time the temperature was allowed to raise to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and washed successively with 1 NHCl (4× 10 mL), sat. NaHCo3 (20 mL), 20% aqueous Na2S2O3 (20 mL) and dried (Na2SO4). Filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue was further purified by
to afford pure 2-iodo-5,5-dimethyl-3-(Phenylamino) cyclohex-2-enone.Hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 - 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and 1.2 Ueq(C) for other H 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. |

Cyclohex-2-enone derivative exhibits antibacterial (Stadler et al., 1994) and anticancer (Correia et al., 2001; Rebacz et al., 2007) activities. Cyclohex-2-enone plays an important role in organic synthesis (Cokcer et al., 1995; Pandey et al., 2004). Against this background, the title compound was chosen for X-ray structure analysis (Fig. 1). The cyclohexene ring adopts a sofa conformation with the pukering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) being q2=0.409 (3) Å, q3=-0.247 (3)Å and QT=0.478 (3) Å. The molecular structure is stabilised by N—H···I intramolecular interactions and the crystal packing is stabilised by C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Table 1).
