Abstract
The crystal structure of an isoindole, 2-bentylisoindole, in which the heterocyclic nucleus is regarded as being minimally perturbed by the substituent, is determined by X-ray analysis. The isoindole shows structural characteristics indicative of an aromatic system: the carbocyclic ring shows bond alternation reminiscent of that found in naphthalene.Keywords
