All chemicals used were purchased from Fluka and used without further purification. The title compound was synthesized by means of the method published by Ertul et al. (2009). Crystals were prepared by
(mp. 125 °C, elemental analysis for C19H18Cl2O: calculated C 55.22, H 4.39; found C 55.20, H 4.41).The H atoms were all located in a difference map and repositioned geometrically. The distance between C and H atoms depends on the carbon atom type and are in a range of 0.93–0.97 Å. The isotropic temperature parameters of hydrogen atoms were calculated as 1.2Ueq of the parent atom.
The title compound is an intermediate in the synthesis of cyclic π interactions between two neighbouring molecules leading to the formation of closely packed dimers (Table 1, Fig. 2). Due to the presence of aromatic rings, the molecules are also connected via system of π–π interactions (Cg1···Cg2i: 4.7735 (17) Å; Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of rings C1-C6 and C8-C13, respectively; symmetry code: (i) 1 -x, 1 - y, 2 - z).
(Ertul et al., 2009). The molecule consists of two phenyl rings substituted with a chlorine atom in para position (Fig. 1). The dihedral angle between the planes of the two aromatic rings is 72.40 (14)°. The arrangement of the molecules is influenced by C—H···For the synthesis, see: Ertul et al. (2009).

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. The H atoms were all located in a difference map, but those attached to carbon atoms were repositioned geometrically. The distance between C and H atoms depends on the carbon atom type and are in a range of 0.93–0.97 Å. The isotropic temperature parameters of hydrogen atoms were calculated as 1.2*Ueq of the parent atom. Unfortunately, the quality of prepared crystals was very low, which lead to the higher R factors. |

The title compound is an intermediate in the synthesis of cyclic lactams (Ertul et al., 2009). The molecule consists of two phenyl rings substituted with a chlorine atom in para position (Fig. 1). The dihedral angle between the planes of the two aromatic rings is 72.40 (14)°. The arrangement of the molecules is influenced by C—H···π interactions between two neighbouring molecules leading to the formation of closely packed dimers (Table 1, Fig. 2). Due to the presence of aromatic rings, the molecules are also connected via system of π–π interactions (Cg1···Cg2i: 4.7735 (17) Å; Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of rings C1-C6 and C8-C13, respectively; symmetry code: (i) 1 -x, 1 - y, 2 - z).
