Abstract
In the title compound, C27H19N3O, the dihedral angles between the plane of the pyridine ring and those of the indole (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å), phenyl and methoxybenzene substituents are 33.60 (6), 25.28 (7) and 49.31 (7)°, respectively. The N atom of the carbonitrile group is significantly displaced [0.288 (2) Å] from the plane of the pyridine ring, perhaps due to steric crowding. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H⋯Nn (n = nitrile) hydrogen bonds generate R 2 2(16) loops. Aromatic π–π stacking [centroid–centroid separation = 3.6906 (7) Å] and very weak C—H⋯π interactions are also observed".
Highlights
In the paper by Vishnupriya, Suresh, Sakthi et al (2014), the chemical name in the title should be given as ‘2-(1H-indol-3yl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridine-3-carbonitrile’ and the correct scheme is shown below
The schemes and chemical names are corrected in three related papers: Vishnupriya, Suresh, Bharkavi et al [Acta
