A mixture of nitrostyrene (1 mmol), isatin (1 mmol) and proline (1 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) was refluxed until the disappearance of starting materials. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was subjected to column chromatography with a hexane–ethyl acetate mixture (8:2) in order to get the pure cycloadduct. Crystals suitable for sigle-crystal X-ray diffraction were grown by slow evaporation of a methanol solution.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding on their parent atoms with aromatic C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å and an N—H distance of 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H and 1.2Ueq(N,C) for other H atoms.

Special details top
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 chemistry of indole compounds has been extensively studied partly due to their use as pharmaceutical and industrial products. Some of the indole derivatives are used as neuroprotectants (Stolc, 1999). Spiro-indoles have been reported to show fungicidal activity (Ali et al., 1989). 5-Chloro-3-(phenylsulfonyl)indole-2-carboxamide is reported to be a highly potent non-nucleoside inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (Williams et al., 1993). The pyrrolizidine alkaloids are well documented for their mutagenic, antineoplastic, carcinogenic, hepatotoxic and many pharmacological activities. In view of the wide spectrum of biological activity of indole and pyrrolizidine derivatives, the X-ray analysis of a pyrrolizidine alkaloid, (I), has been undertaken and the structural details are presented in this communication.
The bond lengths and angles of the indole and benzene ring systems are normal. The pyrrolizidine ring-fusion distance [N1–C5 = 1.481 (2) Å] is in the same range as the other two N—C distances and compares quite well with those observed in related structures (Hay et al., 1982; Sussman & Wodak, 1973; Usha et al., 2005). Bond distances and angles around atom C2 are somewhat distorted, which is due to the spiro-atom character.
The C═O double bond is slightly elongated [C9═O1 = 1.222 (2) Å] due to the hydrogen bonding. This is similar to what was observed for the analogus bond in 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (Rajan, 1984), which forms hydrogen-bonded dimers.
In the title adduct, each molecule is linked to a centrosymmetrically related molecule by N—H···O hydrogen bonds forming R22(8) rings. The nitro group does not play any role in hydrogen bonding, but participates in fairly weak intramolecular contacts (Table 2).
In the pyrrolizidine nucleus, both five-membered rings adopt twist conformations. The smallest displacement asymmetry parameters (Nardelli, 1983) are ΔC2(C5) = 0.018 (1) and ΔC2(C5) = 0.015 (1)°. The overall conformation of the pyrrolizidine nucleus is folded about the bridging bond, viz. N1—C5. The angle between the best planes of the two rings is 54.2 (1)°. This observation is consistent with the structure reported by Usha et al. (2005).
