(Received 26 August 2010; accepted 31 August 2010; online 4 September 2010)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₈H₁₁ClN₄, contains two independent molecules (A and B) with slightly different conformations: the dihedral angles between the 3-chloro-6-hydrazinylpyridazine units and butyl side chains are 4.5 (2) and 11.98 (16)°. In the crystal, the A and B molecules are linked by a pair of N—H⋯N hydogen bonds, generating an R₂²(8) loop.

Comment top

In continuation of our studies of pyrazolylpyridazine derivatives (Ather et al., 2009, 2010), the title compound (I, Fig. 1) is being reported here.

The title compound (I), consists of two independent molecules. In one molecule, the 3-chloro-6-hydrazinylpyridazine moiety A (C1—C4/N1—N4/CL1) and the butane group B (C5—C8) is planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.0217 and 0.0130 Å. The dihedral angle between A/B is 4.53 (24)°. In second molecule, the 3-chloro-6-hydrazinylpyridazine moiety C (C9—C12/N5—N8/CL2) and the butane group D (C13—C16) is planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.0453 and 0.0446 Å. The dihedral angle between C/D is 11.98 (16)°. The title compound consists of dimers due to N—H···N type of H-bonding (Table 1, Fig. 2) with R₂²(8) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995).

Experimental top

3-Chloro-6-hydrazinylpyridazine (0.5 g, 3.46 mmol), dissolved in ethyl-methylketone was refluxed for 30 min. The unreacted ethyl-methylketone was distilled off yielding the crude material. The product was re-crystallized in alcohol to affoard colorless needles of (I).

Special details top

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

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.
