The title compound, C19H14F3N3, was prepared in one step. (1-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-indol-2-yl)methanol (50 mg, 0.17 mmol) and N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (83 mg, 3 equiv) in dry CH3CN was stirred for 48 h at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated and the residue purified on silica gel to give the title compound,(I). Yield: 53% (33 mg). Recrystallization from absolute ethyl acetate gave colorless and clear single crystals for X-ray diffraction measurement.
H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.99 Å for aliphatic H, 0.95 Å for aromatic H, Uiso(H)= 1.2Ueq(C)] and were included in the
in the riding model approximation.Iodole derivatives are an important class of heterocycles in medicinal chemistry (Borgne et al., 1999; Marchand et al., 2003; Lézé et al., 2006; Jiao et al., 2010; Muftuoglua & Mustatab, 2010). In continuation of our studies on N-aromatization in the indole ring, we present here the the
of the title compound, C19H14F3N3, (I). With one molecule in the the dihedral angles between the mean planes of the indole ring and the 4-CF3-phenyl and imidazole rings are 54.95 (4)° and 61.36 (7)°, respectively (Fig. 1). Bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges.For background to indole derivatives and their biological activity, see: Muftuoglua & Mustatab (2010); Jiao et al. (2010).

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. |

Iodole derivatives are an important class of heterocycles in medicinal chemistry (Borgne et al., 1999; Marchand et al., 2003; Lézé et al., 2006; Jiao et al., 2010; Muftuoglua & Mustatab, 2010). In continuation of our studies on N-aromatization in the indole ring, we present here the the crystal structure of the title compound, C19H14F3N3, (I). With one molecule in the asymmetric unit, the dihedral angles between the mean planes of the indole ring and the 4-CF3-phenyl and imidazole rings are 54.95 (4)° and 61.36 (7)°, respectively (Fig. 1). Bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges.
