Abstract top

In the crystal of the title compound, C7H5ClN2O3, the molecules are linked by N-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds. The [pi]-[pi] contact between the benzene rings, [centroid-centroid distance = 3.803 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure.

Comment top

Some derivatives of pyridine are important chemical materials. We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.

In the molecule of the title compound (Fig 1), the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. Ring A (C1-C6) is, of course, planar. Atoms Cl, N1 and C7 are 0.021 (3), 0.029 (3) and -0.001 (3) Å away from the plane of the benzene ring. The intramolecular C-H···O hydrogen bond results in the formation of a five-membered ring B (O2/N1/C5/C6/H5A), having envelope conformation with O2 atom displaced by 0.278 (3) Å from the plane of the other ring atoms.

In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H···O and C-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure. The π-π contact between the benzene rings, Cg1—Cg1i [symmetry code: (i) -x, -y, 1 - z, where Cg1 is centroid of the ring A (C1-C6)] may further stabilize the structure, with centroid-centroid distance of 3.803 (3) Å.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (60.3 g, 0.32 mol) was suspended in thionyl chloride (180 ml) and heated at reflux for 5 h, then concentrated in vacuum as far as possible, the oily substance obtained. Added ice ammonia water (300 ml) to the oil, cooling to room temperature, a precipitate formed, which was collected by filtration and washed with water. Pure title compound was obtained by crystallizing from methanol (Sun et al., 2006). Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a methanol solution.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with N-H = 0.86 (for NH2) and C-H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Special details top

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 > 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.
