(2E)-2-[(2H-1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)methyl-idene]-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(17)H(12)O(3), each of the five-membered rings in the inden-1-one and 1,3-benzodioxole residues is almost planar (r.m.s. deviations = 0.041 and 0.033 Å, respectively). A small twist about the single bond linking the two residues is evident [the C-C-C-C torsion angle = 8.7 (4)°]. Supra-molecular zigzag layers propagating in the ac plane are formed in the crystal via C-H⋯O inter-actions. The layers are linked via π-π inter-actions between the five- and six-membered rings of 1,3-benzodioxole residues [centroid-centroid distance = 3.4977 (14) Å].

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
