The title compound, C19H12F2N2O2, a 2:1 product of the reaction of 2-fluorobenzoyl chloride and 2-aminopyridine, crystallizes with a disordered 2-fluorobenzene ring adopting two conformations [ratio of occupancies = 0.930 (4):0.070 (4)] in one of the two independent molecules (differing slightly in conformation) comprising the asymmetric unit. In the crystal structure, C-H
O and C-H
(arene) interactions are present.
Compound (I) was synthesized via standard condensation procedures and similar to the related syntheses reported by us (Donnelly et al., 2008; McMahon et al., 2008). Separation of the 1:1 and 2:1 derivatives was undertaken by using flash chromatography using CHCl3:ethyl acetate. Typical organic workup and washing gave the product (I) in modest yield of 30–40% as a 2:1 component of the mixture. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from CHCl3 as colourless blocks over a period of 1–2 weeks and gave a melting point of 367–371 K. The compounds gave clean 1H and 13C NMR spectra in CDCl3 solution. IR (νC=O cm-1): 1715, 1688(s, br), (CHCl3); 1710, 1698(s) (KBr).
In the final stages of refinement it was observed that there was electron density consistent with a partial occupancy F atom in a position expected for a minor orientation (site) of the F32A F atom position as F36A. This new site only necessitates rotation by 180° about the C2A—C31A axis in a group that is not engaged in strong hydrogen bonding and is relatively free to rotate.
The minor F36A site was treated initially with isotropic displacement values and in the final refinement cycles was restrained by DELU/ISOR restraints of 0.1 (for F32A, F36A). The final refinement cycles gave site occupancy values of 0.930 (4):0.070 (4). As the major and minor sites for the C6 ring essentially coincide it was decided to retain the major orientation with 100% occupancy for use with the restraints.
The H atoms attached to C atoms were treated as riding with C—H = 0.95 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Our group is completing a structural systematic study of fluoro-N'-(pyridyl)benzamide isomers (Donnelly et al., 2008) and we are adding to our research with the analogous difluoro-N-(pyridyl)benzamide series (McMahon et al., 2008) (Scheme 1).
In the chemical synthesis of either the mono- or di-fluoro derivatives and when using the ortho-aminopyridine, two products can be isolated as either the 1:1 or 2:1 benzoyl:pyridine components and with yields and ratios depending on the reaction conditions. We have reported on the structure of the 1:1 derivative namely 2,3-difluoro-N-(2-pyridyl)benzamide (Gallagher et al., 2008) and report herein a 2:1 relative of this type of compound, namely 2-fluoro-N-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-N-(2-pyridyl)benzamide (I) (Figs 1, 2).
The parent compound 2-(dibenzoylamino)pyridine has been reported previously (Weng et al., 2006) as well as the closely related compounds, N,N-dibenzoyl-4-chloroaniline and 4-Acetyl-N,N-dibenzoylphenylamine (Usman et al., 2002a,b). A review of the literature suggests that structures of this type are rare despite the large number of substituted benzamides reported. Recently, the crystal structures of two compounds N-(3-bromo-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-2-naphthyl)-2-chloro-N-(2-chlorobenzoyl)benzamide & N-(3-bromo-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-2-naphthyl)-4-fluoro-N-(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzamide have been reported (Akinboye, Butcher, Brandy et al., 2009; Akinboye, Butcher, Wright et al., 2009) but these differ substantially from (I) in the quinone scaffold or more specifically in the chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone skeleton.
Compound (I) crystallizes with two independent molecules A and B in the asymmetric unit that differ slightly in conformation as depicted in the overlay diagram, Fig. 3. The interesting differences between molecules A and B in (I) can readily be compared with (II) 3-fluoro-N-(3-fluorobenzoyl)-N-(2-pyridyl)benzamide (Gallagher et al., 2008) and the parent structure 2-(dibenzoylamino)pyridine reported by Weng et al. (2006).
In (I), the subtle differences between molecules (A) and (B) are mainly centred about the N1A/N1B tri-substituted C atoms. For example the N1—C2 bond lengths are 1.422 (3) and 1.399 (3) Å, i.e. differ by greater than 0.02 Å, whereas the N1—C1/N1—C21 pair are similar at 1.414 (3)/1.439 (3) Å and 1.419 (3)/1.444 (3) Å in molecules A and B, respectively. The related 3-fluoro structure (II) has bond lengths of 1.420 (3)/1.420 (3)/1.448 (3) Å for the analagous bonds and highlights the short N1B—C2B bond length.
The C1—N1—C2 angles are similar, i.e. 121.35 (18)°/121.40 (18)°, but the C1—N1—C21/C2—N1—C21 angle pair are 118.44 (16)°/117.10 (17)° and 116.97 (16)°/120.51 (17)° in A and B, respectively, highlighting both the similarity of the C1—N1—C21/C2—N1—C21 angle pair in A and the 3.5° angle difference in molecule B, as well as the difference in the C2—N1—C21 angle between A and B. The differences in bond lengths and angles must be mainly attributed to crystal packing forces and also the orientational differences of the benzoyl groups at C2A and C2B which can lead to possible and slightly different delocalization along the O2=C2—N1 moiety in A and B. A slight distortion in the N1—C21—C26 angles at 121.0 (2) (A) and 118.6 (2)° (B) is also noted.
The packing distortions also manifest in the C6 and C5N rings with respect to the central groups to which they are attached. The angles for C1—C11···C14 are 177.51 (17)/169.21 (15)° and the C2—C31···C34 angles are 172.26 (15)/175.25 (16)° in molecules A and B, respectively, highlighting aromatic ring bending differences of > 8° present in the former angle. The corresponding deformation angles in (II) are 176.97 (16) and 174.78 (17)°. In (I), the N1—C21···C24 angles are 177.20 (18) and 179.70 (17)° with little distortion of this central aromatic group with respect to the molecular backbone, Fig. 4.
In the crystal structure, there are no classical hydrogen bonds and interactions comprise weak C—H···O and C—H···π(arene) interactions, Table 1.
