Two isoindolin-1-one derivatives, (Z)-3-benzylidene-N-phenylisoindolin-1-one, C21H15NO, (II), and (Z)-3-benzylidene-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)isoindolin-1-one, C22H17NO2, (III), were synthesized by the palladium-catalysed heteroannulation. The molecules of both compounds have a Z configuration. The interplanar angles between the five- and six-membered rings of the isoindolinone moiety in (II) and (III) are 1.66 (11) and 2.26 (7)°, respectively. The phenyl rings at the N-position in (II) and (III) are twisted out of the C4N ring plane by 62.77 (11) and 67.10 (7)°, respectively. The substitutions at the N and C-3 positions of the isoindolinone system have little influence on the molecular dimensions of the resulting compounds.

2-(2'-Phenylethynyl)-N-phenyl benzamide (PEPB) was synthesized by stirring a mixture of 2-iodo-N-phenyl benzamide (1 mmol) with phenylacetylene (1.2 mmol) in dimethylformamide (DMF) (5 ml) at 353 K for 16 h in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (3.5 mol%), cuprous iodide (8 mol%) and triethylamine (4 mmol). After usual workup and purification by chromatography (silica gel 60–80 mesh), the product (PEPB) was cyclized to 3-benzylidene-N-phenylisoindolin-1-one, (II), m.p. 470 (1) K, by refluxing with sodium ethoxide in ethanol for 4 h. Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from ethanol. Elemental analysis: calculated for C21H15NO: C 84.82, H 5.08, N 4.71%; found: C 84.49, H 5.13, N 4.60%. Starting with 2-iodo-N-p-anisyl benzamide, the procedure as described above yielded 2-(2'-phenylethynyl)-N-p-methoxyphenylbenzamide (PEMB), which on cyclization afforded 3-benzylidene-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)isoindolin-1-one, (III), m.p. 441 (1) K. Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from ethanol. Elemental analysis: calculated for C22H17NO2, C 80.91, H 5.23, N 4.27%; found: C 80.90, H 5.36, N 4.13%.
All H-atoms were generated using HFIX in SHELX93 (Sheldrick, 1993). Uiso for H atoms were assigned as 1.2 times Ueq of the parent non-H atoms before anisotropic refinement.

The isoindolinone (phthalimidine) system (I) is present in a number of natural products. Many isoindolinone derivatives display biological activity as potential anti-inflammatory agents, antipsychotics (Zhuang et al., 1998; Linden et al., 1997) and inhibitors of human CCRF-CEM lymphoblastic leukaemic cells (Taylor et al., 1997). The majority of structurally determined isoindolinone systems are either N-substituted or have a hydroxy substituent at the 3-position (Brady et al., 1998; McNab et al., 1997; Barrett et al., 1996; Feeder & Jones 1996). As part of an ongoing program on the synthesis and characterization of new heterocyclic systems containing an isoindolinone moiety, we have recently reported the crystal structures of several N– and C3-substituted derivatives (Khan et al., 1998; Kundu et al., 1999; Guha et al., 1999). The molecular configurations, E or Z, of these compounds are influenced by the type of substituents. To study the effect of substitution on the conformation of the resulting compounds and to build up a hierarchy for such systems, X-ray analyses of (Z)-3-benzylidene-N-phenylisoindolin-1-one, (II), and (Z)-3-benzylidene-N-(p-methoxyphenyl)isoindolin-1-one, (III), were undertaken.
The Z configuration of the molecules of (II) and (III), which contain essentially planar isoindolinone and phenyl moieties, are established by the torsion angle N—C14—C15—C16 of 5.4 (5) and 3.3 (4)° in (II) and (III), respectively. The bond lengths and angles observed for the heterocyclic ring in (II) and (III) are similar to those reported for substituted isoindolinone structures (Kundu et al., 1999; Khan et al., 1998; McNab et al., 1997; Feeder & Jones, 1996). The angles between the five- and six-membered rings of the isoindolinone system in (II) and (III) are 1.66 (11) and 2.26 (7)°, respectively; the maximum deviation from planarity for an atom in either ring plane is 0.009 (3) Å for C7 in (II), with the carbonyl-O atom 0.030 (3) Å [in (2)] and 0.004 (2) Å [in (III)] away from the C4N planes. The phenyl rings (C1—C6) and (C16—C21) in (II) are twisted out of the C4N ring plane with dihedral angles 62.77 (11) and 55.72 (10)°, respectively; the corresponding values are 67.10 (7) and 55.05 (7)° in (III). In the fused six-membered ring (C8—C13) of (II) and (III), the angles at C9 and C12 are less than 118°, an effect previously noted by McNab et al. (1997). The cis orientation of O2—C22 with respect to C3—C4 about the O2—C3 bond in (III) results in repulsion between the C4 and C22 atoms and because of this the bond angle C4—C3—O2 is increased by about 9° (Table 3) compared to C2—C3—O2. The torsion angle C4—C3—O2—C22 is 7.3 (3)°. In both the structures, the carbonyl atoms (O, O1) are involved in weak C—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Tables 2 and 4).
A comparison of geometrical parameters of various isoindolinone derivatives (Table 5) reveals that substitutions at N– and/or C3(14)- positions have apparently little influence on the molecular dimensions. The dihedral angles between the isoindolinone moiety and the planar parts of the R1/R2 groups in different compounds (Table 5) indicate an approximate molecular coplanarity for the N-unsubstituted derivative (Kundu et al., 1999) while the alkyl/aryl substitutions at both the N– and C3– positions introduce considerable puckering in the resulting molecules.
