Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structure of 5,5″-Difluoro-1H,1″H-[3,3′:3′,3″-terindol]-2′(1′H)-one

Resumo

The new indole derivative, 5,5′′-Difluoro-1H,1′′H-[3,3′:3′,3′′-terindol]-2′(1′H)-one C₂₄H₁₅F₂N₃O, is synthesized in 87% yield, and its crystal structure is determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals are monoclinic, sp. gr. P2₁/n, a = 15.4563(7), b = 10.8340(6), c = 16.4718(6) Å, β = 102.403(4)°, Z = 4. Bicyclic indole moieties form dihedral angle of 61.92(5)° with each other; the oxindole ring is twisted with respect to them at angles of 85.70(5)° and 75.62(5)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by N–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bonds involving both the DMSO solvent molecules. In addition, one C–H···π interaction is observed.
