(Received 20 August 2013; accepted 5 September 2013; online 12 September 2013)

In the title Ebselen [systematic name: (2-phenyl-1,2-benzoisoselenazol-3-(2H)-one)] analogue, C14H11NOSe, the benzisoselenazolyl moiety (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0209 Å) is nearly perpendicular to the N-arenyl ring, making a dihedral angle of 78.15 (11)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O and Se⋯O inter­actions into chains along the c-axis direction. The Se⋯O distance [2.733 (3) Å] is longer than that in Ebselen (2.571 (3) Å].

Organoselenium compounds play a very important role in biological and relevant processes. Among them, Ebselen (2-phenyl-1, 2-benzoisoselenazol-3-(2H)-one) shows anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic and cytoprotective properties, and has been used as the most active mimic of GPx (glutathione peroxidase). In the past decade, a number of Ebselen analogues were synthesized and their pharmacological activities were thoroughly studied toward a better understanding of the pharmacology of Ebselen. Furthermore, structurally well defined Ebselen analogues with substituents on N-phenyl ring are still rare. Mugesh and co-workers reported several of this kind of Ebselen analogues (Mugesh and Singh, 2000; Mugesh et al., 2001a, 2001b) which exhibited much higher GPx catalytic activity than that of Ebselen when GSH was used as the co-substrate.

The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig.1. The molecules in the crystal are linked by C-H···O (C2-H2···O[1/2+x,3/2-y,1/2+z]; H···O: 2.45Å; C···O: 3.132 (4)Å, C-H···O: 130°) and Se···O interactions, forming chains along c. The Se···O distance (2.733 (3) Å) is longer than that in Ebselen (2.571 (3) Å, Dupont et al., 1990). The nine-membered benzisoselenazolyl group, which is similar as that of Ebselen, lies on a plane (r.m.s.d. = 0.0209). The dihedral angle between the planes of benzisoselenazolyl group and the N-arenyl ring is 78.15 (11)°, which is much wider than that in Ebselen (33.39 (13)°). The five-membered isoselenazolyl ring is severely strained at the Se atom, the bond length of Se—N [1.876 (3) Å] being shorter than the one in Ebselen [1.896 (3)], while the Se—C1 distance [1.894 (4) Å] and the N—Se—C1 bond angle [85.13 (14) °] are similar to those in Ebselen (1.892 (4)Å and 85.84 (15) °, respectively).

Experimental top

A solution of 2-(chloroseleno)benzoyl chloride (1.27 g, 5 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (25 ml) was added (dropwise and at room temperature ) to a solution of 2-methylaniline (0.536 g, 5 mmol) and triethylamine in dry acetonitrile (15 ml) while stirring during 30 min. The reaction mixture was then further stirred at room temperature for about 5 h and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The precipitate was filtered off and dried to obtain a yellow solid that was purified in an active neutral alumina column, by using ethyl acetate and chloroform (1:2) as eluent. The resulting yellow compound was recrystallized to obtain yellow blocks for X-ray diffraction analysis.

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.
