The molecular structure of the title compound, C19H18Cl2O2,
reveals a distorted chair conformation for the pyran ring, in which the methyl and 4-chlorophenyl groups occupy equa-torial positions. The molecule is devoid of strong intramolec-ular interactions. In the crystal structure, the molecules form zigzag layers which are held together by CÐH interac-tions.
Comment
The title molecule, (I), contains two pairs of chiral C atoms with identical groups on each. There can be as many as four racemic modi®cations and twomesoforms for the molecule (Eliel, 1962). This investigation was undertaken to assign the con®guration and conformation of the most stable form in the solid state.
The saturated pyran ring adopts a distorted chair conformation, as shown by the torsion angles around the bonds involving the ring atoms. These torsion angles deviate from the ideal value of 56 reported for the chair
conforma-tion of cyclohexane (Kalsi, 1997). The CÐC bond lengths of the aryl rings are in the range 1.362 (4)±1.391 (4) AÊ, while the bond angles are in the range 118.3 (3)±121.4 (4). The
con®gurations of the chiral atoms C2, C3, C5 and C6 are found to beR,S,RandS, respectively. The equatorial dispositions of the methyl and 4-chlorophenyl groups are revealed by the torsion angles involving the exo atom and the other three ring atoms; these vary fromÿ167.9 (2) to 178.3 (2), as observed
also in a pentasubstituted cyclohexan-1-one derivative (Sarangarajanet al., 2002).
In the crystal structure, the molecules are aggregated into zigzag layers extended over theacplane. Within the layer, a Cl Cl short contact of 3.406 (2) AÊ is observed between atoms Cl1 and Cl2i[symmetry code: (i)ÿ1
2ÿx, ÿy,ÿ12+z].
Adjacent layers are linked through CÐH interactions,viz. C3ÐH3 Cg, with H3 Cg= 2.72 AÊ, C3 Cg= 3.631 (3) AÊ and C3ÐH3 Cg= 154, whereCgdenotes the centroid of
the C16±C21 aryl ring of the molecule at (ÿx,1
2+y,12ÿz). The
molecules are also held together by weak interactions (Jeffrey & Saenger, 1991) between C2 and O8ii[3.373 (4) AÊ; symmetry
code: (ii)ÿx+1
2,yÿ12,z+12].

Savaridasson Jose Kavithaet al. C19H18Cl2O2 Acta Cryst.(2003). E59, o463±o465The title compound is isomorphous with the analogous
p-tolyl derivative, r-2,c-6-bis(p-tolyl)-t-3,t -5-dimethyltetra-hydropyran-4-one (Krishnamoorthy et al., 2003), with very similar crystal and molecular structures. The torsion angles around the CÐC bonds of the tetrahydropyran ring are not signi®cantly different in the two structures. This reveals no conformational changes due to the replacement of methyl by Cl atoms in the title molecule. The gas-phase conformation obtained from AM1 calculations is very similar to that observed in the solid state. The calculated heat of formation,
ÿ48.5 kcal molÿ1, for the compound reveals its inherent
molecular stability.
Experimental
The title compound was prepared by the condensation of pentan-3-one and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in a 1:2 molar ratio in methanol, as reported by Baliah & Mangalam (1978). Diffraction-quality crystals were obtained by recrystallization of the crude product from ethanol.

S1. Comment
The title molecule, (I), contains two pairs of chiral C atoms with identical groups on each. There can be as many as four
racemic modifications and two meso forms for the molecule (Eliel, 1962). This investigation was undertaken to assign the
configuration and conformation of the most stable form in the solid state.
The saturated pyran ring adopts a distorted chair conformation, as shown by the torsion angles around the bonds
involving the ring atoms. These torsion angles deviate from the ideal value of 56° reported for the chair conformation of
cyclohexane (Kalsi, 1997). The C—C bond lengths of the phenyl rings are in the range 1.362 (4)–1.391 (4) Å, while the
bond angles are in the range 118.3 (3)–121.4 (4)°. The configurations of the chiral atoms C2, C3, C5 and C6 are found to
be R, S, R and S, respectively. The equatorial dispositions of the methyl and 4-chlorophenyl groups are revealed by the
torsion angles comprising the external atom and the other three ring atoms, which vary from −167.9 (2) to 178.3 (2)°, as
observed in a pentasubstituted cyclohexan-1-one derivative (Sarangarajan et al., 2002).
In the crystal structure, the molecules are aggregated into zigzag layers extended over the ac plane. Within the layer, a
Cl···Cl short contact of 3.406 (2) Å is observed between atoms Cl1 and Cl2i [symmetry code: (i) −1/2 − x, −y, −1/2 + z].
The adjacent layers are linked through C—H···π interactions, viz. C3—H3···Cg, with H3···Cg = 2.72 Å, C3···Cg =
3.631 (3) Å and C3—H3···Cg = 154°, where Cg denotes the centroid of the C16—C21 phenyl ring of the molecule at (-x,
1/2 + y, 1/2 − z). The molecules are also held by weak interactions (Jeffrey & Senger, 1991) between C20 and O8ii
[3.373 (4) Å; symmetry code: (ii) x − 1/2, y, −z + 1/2].
The title compound is isomorphous with the analogous p-tolyl derivative, r-2,c-6-di(p
-tolyl)-t-3,t-5-dimethyltetrahydro-pyran-4-one (Krishnamoorthy et al., 2003), with very similar crystal and molecular structures. The torsion angles around
the C—C bonds of the tetrahydropyran ring are not statistically different in the two structures. This reveals no
conformational changes due to the replacement of methyl by Cl atoms in the title molecule. The gas-phase conformation
obtained through AM1 calculations is very similar to that observed in the solid state. The calculated heat of formation of
−48.5 kcal mol−1 for the compound reveals its inherent molecular stability.

Special details
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. The hydrogen atoms were included in the calculated positions. The thermal parameters of all the H atoms were fixed as 1.2 times of the Ueq of their carrier atoms, except those of the methyl groups. The thermal parameters of the H atoms were fixed as 1.5 times of the Ueq of the respective carbon atoms.
