Abstract top

In the title molecule, C15H17N3O5, the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 3.69 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds and [pi]-[pi] stacking interactions with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.614 (1) Å.

Comment top

Nitroimidazole and its derivatives possess several biological activities such as radiosensitizer, anti-tuberculosis and antimicrobial (Demirayak et al., 1999; Huang et al., 2007; Olender et al., 2009). In view of the therapeutic potentials of nitroimidazole derivatives, we are interested in the research and development of nitroimidazole compounds as drugs. Herein we report the crystal structure of the title compound (I).

The stucture of the title compound (I) is shown in Fig 1. In the molecule the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 3.69 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds and significant ππ stacking interactions with a centroid to centroid ditance of 3.614 (1)Å between benzene and imidazole rings related by the symmetry operator (1/2-x, 1/2+y, 1/2-z).

Related literature top

For general background to the biological activity of nitroimidazole and its derivatives, see:Demirayak et al. (1999); Huang et al. (2007); Olender et al. (2009). For the synthetic procedure, see: Khalafi-Nezhad et al. (2005).

Experimental top

Compound (I) was synthesized according to the procedure of Khalafi-Nezhad et al. (2005). Single crystals used in X-ray diffraction studies were grown by slow evaporation at room temperature of solutions of (I) in ethyl acetate and dichlormethane mixtures.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.95Å (aromatic), 0.99Å (methylene) and 0.98Å (methyl) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (aromatic and methylene C) or 1.5Ueq(C) (methyl C).

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.
