These values compare favourably with those obtained from a
study of short OÁ Á Áhalogen interactions in biological mol-
ecules (Auf®nger et al., 2004). The crystal structure of (I) also
contains a weak CÐHÁ Á ÁCg intermolecular interaction that
extends along the [001] direction, where Cg is the centroid of
the C7±C12 benzene ring. The pyrrolidine ring has an
envelope conformation with atom C5 at the ¯ap. The Cremer

Experimental
The syntheses of compounds (I)±(III) were adapted from the
procedure described by Roth et al. (1971) for the preparation of (I).
4-Bromophenacyl bromide (1.05 equivalents) was added to a solution
of the appropriate thiolactam [pyrrolidine-2-thione, piperidine-2-
thione or azepane-2-thione; 1.0 equivalent; cf. Curphey (2002)] in
CHCl3 (5 ml per mmol). After 30 min at room temperature, the
solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator. The resulting mixture
was kept at room temperature for 48 h to ensure that the reaction
went to completion. The resulting solid was partitioned between
CH2Cl2 and aqueous saturated K2CO3 solution. The organic phase
was separated off and the aqueous phase was extracted with a further
portion of CH2Cl2. The combined organic extracts were dried
(MgSO4) and evaporated to yield the crude S-alkylated intermediate.
This was dissolved in dry CHCl3 (10 ml per mmol) to which
triphenylphosphine (2 equivalents) was added. The solution was
heated under re¯ux for 24 h, after which the solvent was evaporated.
The crude enaminone product was puri®ed by chromatography on
silica gel with dichloromethane as eluant, followed by ethyl acetate±
hexane (2:3), to afford the desired products, (I)±(III).

The hydrogen-bonded dimers in compound (II) are further
reinforced by a weak CÐHÁ Á ÁO interaction between atom
H7A and atom O1 at (2 x, y, 1 z), producing a motif
described by the graph set R22(12). A second set of CÐHÁ Á ÁO
interactions, occurring between atom H5 and atom O1 at
(2 x, 1 y, 1 z), gives rise to another set of intermolecular
bonded dimers described by the R22(14) graph set (Fig. 5). In
