Acta Crystallogr E Crystallogr Commun. 2019 Jul 12;75(Pt 8):1140-1144. doi: 10.1107/S2056989019009691. eCollection 2019 Aug 1.

Abstract

In the title mol-ecule, C17H23NO2, the di-hydro-indole portion is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0157 Å) and the nonyl substituent is in an 'extended' conformation. In the crystal, the nonyl chains inter-calate and the di-hydro-indole-dione units are associated through C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form micellar blocks. Based on the Hirshfeld surface analysis, the most important inter-molecular inter-action is the H⋯H inter-action.

Keywords: crystal structure; di­hydro­indole­dione; hydrogen bond; micelle; π-stacking.
