Methyl 3′-benzyl-4′-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1′-methyl-2-oxospiro[indoline-3,2′-pyrrolidine]-3′-carboxylate

Abstract

In the title compound, C27H24Cl2N2O3, the indole ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.082 (2) Å for the carbonyl C atom. It makes a dihedral angle of 88.53 (6)° with the mean plane of the 4-methylpyrrolidine ring, which adopts an envelope conformation with the N atom at the flap position. The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which generate S(6) and S(7) ring motifs, and an intramolecular π–π interaction involving the benzyl and dichloro-substituted benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6291 (11) Å]. In the crystal, molecules are linked via N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming C(7) chains running parallel to [10-1].
