Synthesis and Crystal Structure of （E）-2-phenyl-6,7dihydrobenzofuran-4（5H）-one O-cyanomethyl Oxime

A pair of E/Z-isomers of 2-phenyl-6,7-dihydrobenzofuran-4（5H）-one O-cyanomethyl oxime,C16H14N2O2,as potential drugs for treating peptic ulcer and other acid-related diseases have been synthesized and characterized by IR,MS and NMR spectra.Meanwhile,the crystal of IIIa was obtained and determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.Crystal data： monoclinic system,space group P21 /c,a = 8.423（8）,b = 19.596（16）,c = 8.770（8）,β = 107.750（12）°,V = 1379（2）3,Z = 4,F（000） = 560,Dc = 1.283 g/cm3,μ = 0.086 mm 1,R = 0.0681 and wR = 0.2029 for 14472 independent reflections（Rint = 0.0782） and 2428 observed ones（I 2σ（I））.
