In the crystal structure of the title compound, C17H17ClN4O, the existence of only one 2-imino-oxo of the five possible N-amino-imino/O-keto-hydroxy tautomers is observed and the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 29.78 (11)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular C-H
N, N-H
O and C-H
O hydrogen bonds, in each case generating a six-membered ring. In the crystal structure, the glide-plane-related molecules are linked into C(4) amide chains by intermolecular N-H
O hydrogen bonds, and an intermolecular C-H
O link also occurs.
The title compound was synthesized from respective aniline via N-aryloethylenediamine, 1-aryl-2-aminoimidazoline-2 and final condensation with aromatic isocyanate according to the method of Matosiuk et al., (2001). Colourless prisms of (I) were grown by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.
N-bound H atoms were located by difference Fourier synthesis and refined freely. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding on their C atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 (aromatic), 0.97 (CH2) and 0.96 Å (CH3). All H atoms were assigned Uiso(H) values of 1.5Ueq(N,C).

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. Weighted least-squares planes through the starred atoms (Nardelli, Musatti, Domiano & Andreetti Ric.Sci.(1965),15(II—A),807).

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. |

We report herein the results of the X-ray structure determination of the title compound, (I), as part of a structural study on a tautomeric equilibrium of the chain and fused derivatives of 2-aminoimidazoline with pharmacological activity (Matosiuk et al., 2001, 2005; Karczmarzyk et al., 2004; Wysocki et al., 2006). Investigated compound (I) exhibited central activity associated with agonistic action on opioid mu and delta (MOP and DOP) as well as serotonin (5-HT2) receptors. This activity was expressed by its strong antinociceptive, serotonergic and antidepressant action (Matosiuk et al., 2001). In the crystalline state, the compound (I) exists as the N3-amino/N6-imino/O8-keto/N9-amino tautomeric form with the amino and carbonyl groups involved in the strong N3—H31···O8 intramolecular and N9—H91···O8 intermolecular hydrogen bonds with π-bond cooperativity (Steiner, 2002) (Table 1 and 2). The geometry (bond lengths, angles and planarity) of the molecule of (I) is very similar to that observed in a previously reported close related structure of 1-(1-phenylimidazolidin-2-ylidene)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)urea (Matosiuk et al., 2001). The p-tolyl, 2-iminoimidazoline, urea and chlorophenyl groups are planar to within 0.047 (4), 0.084 (3), 0.006 (2) and 0.006 (2) Å, respectively, and the dihedral angles between mean planes of these groups are in the range of 6.86 (6)–29.88 (6)°. The carbonyl group is in cis conformation with the torsion angles C2—N6—C7—O8 and O8—C7—N9—C31 of 1.5 (3) and -7.8 (3)°, respectively. The nearly planar chain-extended conformation of the molecule as a whole is stabilized by the intramolecular C26—H261···N6, N3—H31···O8 and C32—H321···O8 hydrogen bonds (Table 2) leading to the formation of six-ring fused system. In the crystal structure, besides of the N9—H91···O8 intermolecular hydrogen bond linking the glide plane-related molecules into molecular chains along the [001] direction with graph-set motif C(4) (Bernstein et al., 1995), the π-electron systems of the imidazoline and phenyl rings belonging to inversion-related molecules overlap each other: the shortest intermolecular contact is C2···C22j=3.292 (3) Å and the angle between the overlapping planes is 16.83°, characteristic of π-stacking [symmetry code: (j) -x, -y, -z].
