To a 10 ml solution of KOH (0.11 g) in ethanol at 313 K in a round bottom flask, cyclohexanone (5.0 mmol, 0.50 g) and 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde (10 mmol, 1.75 g) was added and the mixture was stirred for 2 min. The resulting product was then isolated by simple filtration from the reaction mixture and given washings with water to remove any trace of KOH remaining on the product. Yellow crystals, yield 97%, 1.98 g, m. p. 455–458 K.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically with C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

Cross-aldol condensation of aromatic aldehydes with cyclic ketones is an important protocol for the synthesis of arylidene cycloalkanones, which are very important precursors to potentially bioactive pyrimidine derivates (Deli et al., 1984), intermediates for agrochemical, pharmaceuticals and perfumes (Nakano et al., 1987), new organic material for nonlinear optical applications (Kawamata et al., 1996), cytotoxic analogous (Dimmock et al., 2003), bis-spiropyrrolidines (Raj et al., 2003) and the units of liquid crystalline polymers (Gangadhara, 1995). Usually, this condensation process is catalyzed by strong acid or base.
In the molecule of the title compound, (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Yu et al., 2000; Zhou, 2007). A dihedral angle of 57.87 (9) A is found between the mean planes of the two benzene rings.
