title: (RS)-1-[5-(2-Chloro-prop-yl)indolin-1-yl]ethanone.
abstract: In the title compound, C(13)H(16)ClNO, the acetyl-indoline moiety is roughly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0048 Å). The chloro-propyl group is out of the plane and is statistically disordered over two positions. Indeed, the Cl and CH(3) groups located on the stereogenic carbon exchange with each other. The whole crystal is a racemate. Non-classical C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between symmetry-related benzene rings stabilize the crystal structure.
