Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3-Benzoyl-7,7-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2-phenylamino-4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-chromen-5-one

The title compound (C30H27NO3) was synthesized via a one-pot procedure starting from β-benzoylthioacetanilide, benzaldehyde and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, and its struc- ture was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to triclinic system, space group P, with a = 6.325(2), b = 11.243(3), c = 17.553(4) , α = 87.306(4), β = 80.822(4), γ = 77.798(4)°, V = 1204.2(5) 3, Z = 2, Mr = 449.53, Dc = 1.240 g/cm3, μ = 0.080 mm-1, F(000) = 476, the final R = 0.0459 and wR = 0.0970 for 2301 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).
