Abstract
Reaction of 2-(4-chloro-3,3,7-trimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1 H-indol-2-ylidene) propanedial with hydroxylamine gives the title compound, C 14H 14ClN 3O, in which the ring N atom is essentially planar [sum of angles around the ring N atom = 361°], indicating conjugation with the 2-cyanoacrylamide unit. The orientation of the acetamide group arises from intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the indole N-H and carbonyl groups. In the crystal, inversion-related acetamide groups form N-H ·· · O hydrogen-bonded dimers in graph-set R 2 2(8) motifs, whilst dimers are also formed by pairs of aminenitrile N-H ··· N hydrogen bonds in R 2 2(12) motifs. These interactions together generate ribbons that propagate along the b-axis direction.
