1-(4-Iodo-3-phenylisoquinolin-1-yl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione

Abstract

In the title compound, C19H13IN2O2, the isoquinoline ring makes dihedral angles of 55.92 (3)° and 76.11 (3)° with the benzene and succinimide rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the benzene and succinimide rings is 70.37 (3)°. In the crystal structure, the iodo atom deviates from the isoquinoline plane by 0.163 (1) Å. The crystal studied was found to be a racemic twin with a domain ratio of 0.41 (5):0.59 (5).
