Abstract
The structure of 7-bromo-4-isopropyl-2-[[(4-methylphenyl)-sulfonyl]oxy]tropone was determined by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the space group P21/c (#14) with cell parameters a = 9.4884(6)Å, b = 9.5235(6)Å, c = 18.1540(13)Å, β = 95.203(2)°, Z = 4, and V = 1633.7(2)Å3. The tropone and benzene rings in 1 adopt a syn conformation with respect to each other. Intramolecular C-H…π and intermolecular C-H…O, C-H…Br, and π…π interactions were observed in the crystal lattice.
