8-Chloro-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-5H-indeno-[1,2-d]pyrimidine

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₀Cl₂N₂, crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, with little conformational difference between them. The molecules have two planar components and the angle between the two planes is 95.5° in molecule I and 97.3° in molecule II. The crystal structure exhibits only van der Waals interactions. The three-dimensional structure and folding of the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit are reminiscent of other P450 aromatase inhibitors.
