Abstract top

In the molecule of the title compound, C15H12N2O3, the dihedral angle between the rings is 3.04 (8)°. The central NOC3 fragment is planar [maximum deviation = 0.005 (3) Å] and is oriented at dihedral angles of 8.23 (8) and 7.29 (9)° with respect to the phenyl and nitrophenyl rings, respectively. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H...O and C-H...O interactions link the molecules into a two-dimensional network. [pi]-[pi] contacts between rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.719 (1) Å] may further stabilize the structure.

Comment top

N-substituted benzamides, e.g., declopramideare, are well known anticancer compounds and the mechanism of benzamide-induced apoptosis has been studied, (Olsson et al., 2002). N-substituted benzamides inhibit the activity of nuclear factor-B and nuclear factor of activated T cells (Lindgren et al., 2001). Various N-substituted benzamides exhibit potent antiemetic activity (Vega-Noverola et al., 1989), while heterocyclic benzanilide are potassium channel activators (Calderone et al., 2006). N-Alkylated 2-nitrobenzamides are intermediates in the synthesis of dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepines (Zhichkin et al., 2007) and N-Acyl-2-nitrobenzamides are precursors of 2,3-disubstitued 3H-quinazoline-4-ones (Beccalli et al., 2005). As part of our work on the structure of benzanilides and related compounds, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.

A search of the Cambridge Crystallographic Database (CSD version 5.30; Allen, 2002) for a fragment containing the title compound without NO2 group revealed only four entries containg the basic skeleton of the title compound with refcodes: DIPHUF (Peeters et al., 1986), EHATUC and EHAVAK (Nissa et al., 2002) and FALQAL (Nissa et al., 2004).

In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), rings A (C1-C6) and B (C10-C15) are, of course, planar and they are oriented at a dihedral angle of A/B = 3.04 (8)°. The (O1/N1/C7-C9) moiety is planar with a maximum deviation of -0.005 (3) Å for atom C8 and it is oriented with respect to rings A and B at dihedral angles of 8.23 (8) and 7.29 (9) °, respectively.

In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H···O and C-H···O interactions (Table 1) link the molecules into a two dimensional network (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure. The π–π contact between the phenyl rings, Cg1—Cg2i [symmetry code: (i) 1 - x, y - 1/2, 1/2 - z, where Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids of the rings A (C1-C6) and B (C10-C15), respectively] may further stabilize the structure, with centroid-centroid distance of 3.719 (1) Å.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, cinnamic acid was converted into cinnamoyl chloride using the standard procedure. A stirred solution of cinnamoyl chloride (5.4 mmol) in CHCl3 was treated with p-nitroaniline (21.6 mmol) under a nitrogen atmosphere at reflux for 4 h. Upon cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with CHCl3 and washed consecutively with aq 1.0 M HCl and saturated aq NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Crystallization of the residue in MeOH afforded the title compound (yield; 81%) as colorless crystals: Anal. calcd. for C15H12N2O3: C, 67.16; H, 4.51; N, 10.44; found: C, 67.21; H, 4.59; N, 10.41.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically with N-H = 0.88 Å (for NH) and C-H = 0.95 Å for aromatic H atoms, respectively, 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.
