2-[4-(Morpholin-4-ylmeth-yl)phen-yl]benzonitrile.

In the title compound, C18H18N2O, the morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation with the exocyclic N-C bond in an equatorial orientation. The dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the morpholine ring (all atoms) and the cyano-benzene ring are 87.87 (7) and 52.54 (7)°, respectively. No significant inter-molecular inter-actions are observed in the crystal structure.

5-{4'-[(5-Benzyl-2H-tetra-zol-2-yl)meth-yl]biphenyl-2-yl}-1H-tetra-zole monohydrate.

In the title compound, C22H18N8·H2O, the dihedral angle between the tetra-zole rings is 69.58 (1)° while the terminal phenyl ring makes dihedral angles of 26.98 (8) and 39.75 (8)° with the other benzene rings. The rings of the biphenyl unit subtend a dihedral angle of 55.23 (8)°. In the crystal, the solvent water mol-ecule is linked to the main mol-ecule via an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In addition, C-H⋯N and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the components into chains along [010]. The crystal structure also features C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.6556 (9) and 3.826 (1) Å.

Synthesis, anti-proliferative and genotoxicity studies of 6-chloro-5-(2-substituted-ethyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ones and 6-chloro-5-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(alkyl/ary-2-ylidene)indolin-2-ones.

A series of 6-chloro-5-(2-substituted-ethyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ones (3a-h) and 6-chloro-5-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(alkyl/aryl-2-ylidene)indolin-2-ones (5i-x) were synthesized. Compounds 3a-e, 5i-l and 5q-r were selected by NIH, USA for in vitro anti-proliferative screening. Based on the impressive growth inhibitory (GI %) effect by the compounds 3a-b and 3e which showed growth inhibition in the range 1.22-76.30%, 2.85-76.03% and 10.98-82.05% respectively at 10(-5) concentration, these compounds were further analyzed for anti-proliferative activity at 5 dose concentration and genotoxicity.

Crystal structure of 6-chloro-5-(2-chloro-eth-yl)-3-(propan-2-yl-idene)indolin-2-one.

The title compound, C13H13Cl2NO, has a 3-(propan-2-yl-idene)indolin-2-one core with a Cl atom and a chloro-ethyl substituent attached to the aromatic ring. Two atoms of the aromatic ring and the chloro-ethyl substituent atoms are disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.826 (3):0.174 (3). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R 2 (2)(8) ring motif.
