In the title compound, C16H21NO2, the indoline ring and the two ketone O atoms are approximately coplanar, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.063 (2) Å. The mean plane through the fused ring system is nearly perpendicular to the mean plane passing through the 1-octyl chain [dihedral angle = 77.53 (17)°]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

To a solution of isatin (0.5 g, 3.4 mmol) dissolved in DMF (30 ml) was added 1-bromooctane (0.7 ml, 3.4 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.61 g, 4.4 mmol) and a catalytic amount of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (0.1 g, 0.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 48 h and the reaction monitored by thin layer
The mixture was filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum. The solid obtained was recrystallized from ethanol to afford the title compound as orange crystals (yield: 72%; mp = 317 K).All H atoms could be located in a difference Fourier map. However, they were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and refined as riding on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) or 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl 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 > 2σ(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. |

Isatin, 1H-indole-2,3-dione, is a heterocyclic compound of significant importance in medicinal chemistry. It is a synthetically versatile molecule, a precursor for a large number of pharmacologically active compounds. Isatin and its derivatives have aroused great attention in recent years due to their wide variety of biological activities, relevant to application as insecticides and fungicides and in a broad range of drug therapies, including anticancer drugs, antibiotics and antidepressants (Bhrigu et al., 2010; Malhotra et al., 2011; Da Silva et al., 2001; Ramachandran, 2011; Smitha et al., 2008). As a continuation of our research work devoted to the development of isatin derivatives (Mamari et al., 2010), we report in this paper the synthesis of a new indoline-2,3-dione derivative by action of alkyl halides to explore other applications.
The molecule of title compound is build up from a fused five- and six-membered rings linked to a 1-octyl chain and to two ketonic oxygen atoms as shown in Fig. 1. The indoline ring and the two ketonic oxygen atoms are nearly coplanar, with the largest deviation from the mean plane of 0.063 (2) Å for atom O2. The fused ring system plan is nearly perpendicular to the mean plane passing through the 1-octyl chain as indicated by the torsion angle C1–N1–C9–C10 of -93.2 (2)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) to build a three-dimensional network as shown in Fig. 2.
