Crystal structure of 1-ethyl-5-iodo-indolin-2-one.

In the title indolinone derivative, C10H10INO, all the non-H atoms, except the terminal methyl C atom, are almost coplanar. The mol-ecules are arranged into columns extending along the a-axis direction and inter-act with the mol-ecules in adjacent columns via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O distance = 2.57 (3) Å] and I⋯I short contacts of 3.8986 (3) Å. A one-dimensional zigzag iodine chain along the a axis is apparent between two neighbouring columns.

Chemical context

Indolinone derivatives play an important role in the pharma­ceutical industry and some of them show anti­neoplastic (Cane et al., 2000 ▸), anti­bacterial (Kumar et al., 2013 ▸) and anti-inflammatory (Mammone et al., 2006 ▸) activities. The indolinone skeleton can be also found in many known bioactive drugs, such as horsfiline (Murphy et al., 2005 ▸), rhynchophylline (Deiters et al., 2006 ▸) and the gelsemium alkaloids (Kitajima et al., 2006 ▸). In addition, indolinone derivatives are widely used in the spice industry and agriculture, as functional materials (Ji et al., 2010 ▸) and dye inter­mediates.

In recent years, the synthesis and crystal structures of many indolinone derivatives have been reported including 6-chloro-5-(2-chloro­eth­yl)oxindole (Nadkarni & Hallissey, 2008 ▸). We have recently synthesized and reported the crystal structures of several indolin-2-one derivatives including 1-phenyl-indolin-2-one (Wang et al., 2015 ▸). As a continuation of our work in this field, we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, 1-ethyl-5-iodo­indolin-2-one.

Structural commentary

The title mol­ecule is shown in Fig. 1 ▸. The non-H atoms of the indoline core are virtually coplanar [mean deviation is 0.011 (3) Å with a maximum deviation of 0.023 (3) Å for C1]. The atoms C9, O1 and I1 are essentially co-planar with the indoline core, with deviations of 0.019 (4) Å for C9, 0.070 (3) Å for O1, and 0.127 (1) Å for I1. The sum of valence angles around N1 is 360.0°, indicating an sp 2 hybridization of this atom. The two C—N bonds in the five-membered ring have a partial double-bond character [N1 C1 1.370 (4) Å; N1 C8 1.400 (3) Å], indicating conjugation of the π-electrons of the NC=O group with the π-electrons of the benzene ring.

Supra­molecular features

The crystal packing in the title compound is shown in Figs. 2 ▸ and 3 ▸. The mol­ecules are face-to-face parallel-packed forming a column along the a axis with π–π inter­actions centroid–centroid distances = 4.130 (2) and 4.462 (2) Å]. Mol­ecules from neighbouring columns are connected by a C—H⋯O hydrogen bond (Table 1 ▸) with the formation of a layer-type aggregate parallel to (001). There is an I⋯I contact shorter than the sum (3.96 Å) of the van der Waals radii [I⋯Ii 3.8986 (3) Å, C—I⋯Ii 173.3 (3)°; symmetry code: (i) x − , −y − , −z + 2] joining the columns of mol­ecules in adjacent layers and forming a kind of 1-D zigzag chain along the a-axis direction (see Fig. 3 ▸). An important feature of the columns is that they are polar, i.e. all mol­ecular dipole moments in the same column point in the same direction.

DFT/b3lyp/genecp calculations were carried out, which took the pseudopotential basis set LanL2DZ for the iodine atom and the 6–311g(d) basis set for the other atoms, to optimize the mol­ecular geometry and calculate the dipole moment using the GAUSSIAN03 program (Frisch et al., 2003 ▸). The dipole moment of the title mol­ecule (1.707 D) is much smaller than that of its precursor mol­ecule, 1-ethyl-5-iodo­indolin-2,3-dione (5.432 D). This difference may partly explain the non-centrosymmetry of the title crystal (space group P212121) and the centrosymmetry of the crystal of the precursor (Wang et al.,2014 ▸). On the other hand, the non-centrosymmetry of the title crystal may be better explained by the I⋯I inter­molecular inter­actions, for there are no I⋯I short contacts in the above centrosymmetric precursor crystal.

Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (WebCSD, Version 5.36; last update April 2015; Groom & Allen, 2014 ▸) for 5-iodo­indolin-2-one derivatives gave 15 hits. Of these 16 structures (with the title structure included), the number of non-centrosymmetric structures (9) is slightly greater than the number of centrosymmetric structures (7). In these 16 structures, there are four structures which exhibit I⋯I short inter­molecular contacts and all the four structures are non-centrosymmetric (three of them belong to the P212121 space group and the other one belongs to the P63 space group; Takahashi et al., 2014 ▸). Therefore, the I⋯I contacts seem to promote non-centrosymmetric packing in this kind of compound.

Synthesis and crystallization

The title compound was synthesized by reduction of the precursor with an 80% hydrazine hydrate (see reaction scheme) . 1-Ethyl-5-iodo­indolin-2,3-dione precursor (1.714 g, 5.69 mmol) and 80% NH2NH2·H2O (19.0 mL) were added into a 50 mL flask and the mixture was stirred under reflux. The reaction progress was tracked by TLC. After 4.5 h, the reaction mixture was cooled down and poured into 100 mL water with precipitation of yellow solid. Then the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2, the organic phase was washed with water and dried with MgSO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography with CHCl3 as eluent. The title compound was obtained as a colorless solid (1.509 g, yield 92.3%). m.p. 403–404 K. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a CHCl3 solution.

Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. H atoms bound to aromatic C atoms and methyl­ene C atoms were located in difference maps and freely refined, leading to C—H distances of 0.91 to 1.02 Å. The three H atoms bound to methyl C atoms could also be located in difference maps but they were placed at calculated positions and treated using a riding-model approximation with C—H = 0.96 Å and U iso(H) = 1.5 U eq(C).

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.
