In the title molecule, C21H19ClF3NO2, the 5-chlorophenyl and 4-methoxybenzyl groups are twisted slightly with respect to the amine group [dihedral angles = -8.4 (2) and 13.6 (2)°] and with respect to each other [6.2 (7)°], forming a nearly planar arrangement. The crystal packing is stabilized by intramolecular N-H
O hydrogen bonding between the amine H atom and the hydroxyl O atom. In addition, intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the same amine H atom and an F atom, N-H
F, and between the methoxy O atom and the hydroxyl H atom, O-H
O, adds to this stability.
A pure sample of the title compound was obtained as a gift sample from Sequent Scientific Ltd., India and was crystallized from a mixture of (1:1) ethylacetate and toluene (m.p.: 427–429 K).
The H atoms were included in the riding model approximation with O—H = 0.83 Å, N—H = 0.87 Å and C—H = 0.94–0.98 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.19–1.49Ueq(C, O, N).

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 > 2sigma(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 title compound is an intermediate in the preparation of efavirenz, an anti HIV drug. Efavirenz is also used in combination with other antiretroviral agents as part of an expanded postexposure prophylaxis regime to prevent HIV transmission for those exposed to materials associated with a high risk for HIV transmission. Efavirenz was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998, making it the 14t h approved antiretroviral drug. In recent years fluorinated compounds find much importance in the pharmaceutical field. Fluorinated compounds in general, fluorinated heterocycles in particular, are those focused on much in modern-day medicinal chemistry. Incorporation of a fluorine atom instead of hydrogen one can alter the course of the reaction as well as its biological activities. Further introduction of a fluorine atom as the CF3 group provides a more lipophilically and pharmacologically interesting compound compared to their non fluorinated analogues. The trifluoromethyl substituted compounds have been reported to possess biological activities as herbicides, fungicides and inhibitors for platelet aggregation. In view of the importance of the fluro derivatives, a crystal structure of the title compound, (I), is reported.
The mean planes of the 5-chlorophenyl and 4-methoxybenzyl groups are twisted slightly with the amine group [dihedral angles: N—C7—C8—C13 = −8.4 (2)°; C7—N—C6—C5 = 13.6 (2)°] and 6.2 (7)° with each other forming a nearly planar arrangement (Fig. 1).
Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between the amine hydrogen, and the hydroxyl oxygen, N—H0A···O2, of the title molecule. In addition, intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the the same amine hydrogen and a fluorine atom, N—H0A···F2, as well as between the methoxy oxygen atom and hydroxyl hydrogen atom, O2—H2B···O1, adds to crystal packing stability (Fig. 2).
