In the title compound, C18H17N3O4, the furyl and phenyl rings are inclined at almost right angles [85.77 (7) and 63.25 (7)°, respectively] to the central imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinyl unit. The structure displays both inter- and intramolecular N-H
O hydrogen bonding.
Heterocyclic ketene aminal (0.13 g, 0.71 mmol) and
(E)-2-nitro-3-(2-furanyl)allylacetate (0.15 g, 0.71 mmol) were
stirred in 30 ml of dichloromethane at 273 K for one hour, followed by
stirring at room temperature for 6 h (Scheme 2).
Solvent was evaporated and residue was passed through short chromatographic
column. The elution was carried out by petroleum ether: ethyl acetate (4:1)
mixture to get the title compound (I) as
a light yellow solid. The single crystals were grown in dichloromethane -
petroleum ether (1:5) system at room temperature by slow evaporation. Yield:
75% (0.18 g), m.p. 440–441 K (lit. m. p. 441–442 K) (Yaqub et al.,
2008).
The H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined in riding mode,
with N–H = 0.88 Å, C—H = 0.95, 0.99 and 1.00 Å, for aryl, methylene
and methine type H-atoms
and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(parent atoms).

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. |

The significance of cyclic 1,1-enediamines known as heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs) is obvious as a building block in many synthetic operations especially as intermediates for the construction of novel heterocyclic compound (Yaqub et al., 2008; Yu et al., 2006). The condensation through β-carbon and secondary nitrogen with bis-electrophile to form heterocyclic ring is one of the most favorable features of HKAs, (Yaqub et al., 2009; Yu, et al., 2007; Wang et al., 1999) which was utilized to synthesize the title compound (I) by treating nitro derivative of Baylis-Hillman acetates with five membered analogue of heterocyclic ketene aminal. In this paper, we describe the crystal structure of (I).
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the pyridyl ring of the nitroimidazo-pyridinyl moiety adopts a half-chair conformation with C4 lying 0.666 (3) Å out of the plane formed by the atoms N1/N2/C1/C2/C3/C5/C6/C7; N2 showing the maximum deviation of 0.069 (2) Å from this plane. The mean-planes of the furanyl and benzyl rings lie at angles 85.77 (7) and 0.63.25 (7)°, respectively, with respect to the mean-plane formed by the atoms N1/N2/C1/C2/C3/C5/C6/C7 of the nitroimidazo-pyridinyl moiety. The structure is stabilized by both inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonding of the type N—H···O (details have been provided in Table 1).
