Abstract

In the title compound, C19H18O, the exocyclic C=C double bond has an E configuration. The ethyl substituent on the cyclo­hexa­none ring is in an axial position. The cyclo­hexa­none ring adopts a half-chair conformation, presumably due to conjugation in the benzene ring.

Comment

Knowledge of the configuration and conformation of the title compound is necessary to understand its behaviour in dipolar-1,3 cycloaddition reactions [Bennani, et al. (2007) and Al Houari et al. (2008)]. To confirm the E configuration of the exocyclic C=C double bond, an X-ray crystal structure determination has been carried out.

The cyclohexanone ring in the dihydronaphthalene fused-ring system adopts a half-chair conformation, presumably due to conjugation of the planar annulated benzo ring,, with the puckering parameters of: Q(2) = 0.403 (2) Å, Phi(2) = 75.0 (3)°, Q(3) = -0.255 (2) Å (Cremer & Pople, 1975). The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the napthyl ring system is 64.87 (9)°.

In the title compound, as shown in Fig. 1, all bond lengths and angles are normal and comparable with those reported for the related structure [Akhazzane et al., (2010)].

Experimental

The synthesis of (2E)-2-benzylidene-4-ethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-onewas achieved using the method reported by Kerbal and al. [Kerbal et al. (1988)]. i.e. by a condensation of para tolylaldehyde with 4-ethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one in an alkaline medium in methanol.

Refinement

The H atoms bound to C were treated as riding with their parent atoms [C—H distances are 0.93Å for CH groups with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C), and 0.97 Å for CH3 groups with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C)].

Special details

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.
