Comment top

The title compound (I), (Fig. 1) is prepared as a precursor and for the study of biological activities.

We have reported the crystal structure of 5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-fluoropyridine previously (Elahi et al., 2012) which is related to (I). In (I) the chlorobenzene A (C1–C6/CL1) and the 2-fluoropyridine B (C7—C11/N1/F1) are planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0093 Å and 0.0064 Å. The dihedral angle between A/B is 38.82 (5)°. There does not exist any kind of π-interactions and the molecules must be stabilized due to van Der Wall forces.

Experimental top

To a 5 ml solution of 5-bromo-2-fluoropyridine (0.1 g, 0.568 mmol), 4-chlorophenylboronic acid (0.097 g, 0.624 mmol) in dioxane and K3PO4 (0.132 g, 0.624 mmol) was added Pd(PPh3)4 (1.5 mole %) at 373 K under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 8 h. Then 20 ml of distilled water was added to the reaction mixture. The aqueous layer was extracted three times with CH2Cl2(3 × 15 ml). The organic layer was evaporated in vacuo and the title compound (I) was obtained as a colorless crystalline solid. Yield: 0.106 g, 91 %. M.p. 344–347 K. Crystallization from a saturated CHCl3 /CH3OH solution gave colorless crystals.

Refinement top

The H-atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.2 for all H-atoms.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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.
