organic compounds
The title compound, C17H10Cl2N2, crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, with little conformational difference between them. The molecules have two planar components and the angle between the two planes is 95.5° in molecule I and 97.3° in molecule II. The crystal structure exhibits only van der Waals interactions. The three-dimensional structure and folding of the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit are reminiscent of other P450 aromatase inhibitors.
