The title compound [systematic name: 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione], C16H13NO3, represents a triclinic polymorph of the previously reported monoclinic form [Warzecha et al. (2006). Acta Cryst. E62, o5450–o5452]. The reaction of potassium phthalimide and 4-methoxybenzyl chloride in dimethylformamide gave platelet-shaped crystals; these were harvested and then needle-shaped crystals were deposited. The platelet- and needle-shaped crystals correspond to the triclinic and monoclinic forms, respectively. The N—C—Car—Car torsion angles between the ring systems are −82.66 (14) and 95.28 (13)°, resulting in a roof-shaped conformation. In the crystal, molecules are accumulated by offset face–face π–π interactions between phthalimide units [centroid–centroid distances = 3.640 (2) and 3.651 (2) Å], with interplanar distances of 3.321 (1) and 3.435 (1) Å. Weak intermolecular Caryl—H⋯O=C and Calkyl—H⋯O=C contacts form C(8) and C(11) infinite chain motifs, respectively.

Reagents for the synthesis were from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co. and they were used without additional purification. A mixture of potassium phthalimide (0.926 g, 5 mmol) and 4-methoxybenzyl chloride (0.80 g, 5.1 mmol) in dimethylformamide (5 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature. The resulting suspension became a clear solution after 2 h. The solution was allowed to stand for a further 12 h without stirring. Several colourless platelet single crystals were deposited and used for X-ray analysis and then the crystal shape changed from platelet into needle for another 12 h. The resulting needle crystal was isolated by filtration, and successively washed with cold water and EtOH. Recrystallization from EtOH yielded colourless needle crystals (1.07 g, 80%, m.p. 403 K). The melting point of the platelet crystal was also 403 K. The cell parameters of a needle crystal corresponded to the monoclinic form.
The H atoms of the methoxy group were positioned with idealized geometry with C—H = 0.98 Å and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C16). All other H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Warzecha, et al. (2006b) reported the
of the monoclinic form of title compound, which was obtained from an ethanolic solution. Herein, the of a triclinic form obtained from a dimethylformamide solution is described. The molecule (Fig. 1), consists of two planar subunits, i.e. a phthalimide moiety and a benzene ring, being linked by a sp3-C9 atom so that the is characterized by the N1—C9—C10—C11 and N1—C9—C10—C15 torsion angles. Torsion angle corresponding to N1—C9—C10—C11 in the monoclinic form is 153.41 (14)° whereas that of the triclinic form is -82.66 (14)°. The torsion angle in the triclinic form is almost the same as the triclinic form of N-benzylphthalimide [86.9 (3)°, Lü et al., 2006 and -86.82 (16)°, Warzecha et al., 2006a] and N-(4-methlybenzyl)phthalimide [84.2 (3)°, Chen et al., 2006].In the π-π interactions between phthalimides in a head-to-tail fashion [interplanar distances (-x, 1 - y, 1 - z) = 3.321 (1) Å and (1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) = 3.435 (1) Å]. C—H···π interactions are observed between C4—H2 and the centroid of the benzene ring [(1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) = 2.818 (13) Å], and C9—H6 and the centroid of the six-membered ring of the phthalimide [(-x, 1 - y, 1 - z) = 2.996 (15) Å]. In the monoclinic crystal, Caryl—H···O=C and Caryl—H···O—Caryl hydrogen bonds form R22(16) and R44(22) motifs (Etter, 1990), respectively, while in the triclinic form, Caryl—H···O=C and Calkyl—H···O=C interactions form C(8) and C(11) infinite chain structures (Fig. 3 and Table 1), respectively.

Warzecha, et al. (2006b) reported the crystal structure of the monoclinic form of title compound, which was obtained from an ethanolic solution. Herein, the crystal structure of a triclinic form obtained from a dimethylformamide solution is described. The molecule (Fig. 1), consists of two planar subunits, i.e. a phthalimide moiety and a benzene ring, being linked by a sp3-C9 atom so that the molecular conformation is characterized by the N1—C9—C10—C11 and N1—C9—C10—C15 torsion angles. Torsion angle corresponding to N1—C9—C10—C11 in the monoclinic form is 153.41 (14)° whereas that of the triclinic form is -82.66 (14)°. The torsion angle in the triclinic form is almost the same as the triclinic form of N-benzylphthalimide [86.9 (3)°, Lü et al., 2006 and -86.82 (16)°, Warzecha et al., 2006a] and N-(4-methlybenzyl)phthalimide [84.2 (3)°, Chen et al., 2006].
In the crystal structure of the triclinic form (Fig. 2), molecules are arranged via offset face-face π-π interactions between phthalimides in a head-to-tail fashion [interplanar distances (-x, 1 - y, 1 - z) = 3.321 (1) Å and (1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) = 3.435 (1) Å]. C—H···π interactions are observed between C4—H2 and the centroid of the benzene ring [(1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) = 2.818 (13) Å], and C9—H6 and the centroid of the six-membered ring of the phthalimide [(-x, 1 - y, 1 - z) = 2.996 (15) Å]. In the monoclinic crystal, Caryl—H···O=C and Caryl—H···O—Caryl hydrogen bonds form R22(16) and R44(22) motifs (Etter, 1990), respectively, while in the triclinic form, Caryl—H···O=C and Calkyl—H···O=C interactions form C(8) and C(11) infinite chain structures (Fig. 3 and Table 1), respectively.
