6-Bromo-2-[(E)-thiophen-2-ylmethylidene]-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1- one

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H12BrNOS, the cyclohexene ring deviates only slightly from planarity (r.m.s. deviation for non-H atoms = 0.047 Å). In the crystal, the molecules are linked into centrosymmetric R22(10) dimers via pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The thio-phene ring is disordered over two positions rotated by 180°and with a site-occupation factor of 0.843 (4) for the major occupied site.
