The title compound, C19H12ClN, was synthesized via reaction of 9-fluorenone and 4-chloroaniline using p-toluenesulfonic acid in toluene. The dihedral angle between the fluorene moiety (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å) and the chlorophenyl ring is 64.59 (6)° and a possible weak intramolecular C—H...π interaction occurs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
