The title compound, C16H17ClF3NO2, was synthesized from 3-[(E)-2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl]-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and 3-methoxybenzenamine. The propenyl and carboxamide substituents lie on the same side of the cyclopropane ring plane, with the two methyl substituents on either side of the plane. The benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 76.4 (3)° with the plane of the cyclopropane ring. The involves intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound was prepared according to the method of Liu & Yan (2007). The product was recrystallized from acetone and ethyl acetate (9:1, v/v) over 2days at ambient temperature, giving colourless single crystals of (I), (E)-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-N– (3-methoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide.
H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å and refined using riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier).The N—H hydrogen atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely with an isotropic displacement parameter.
We reasoned that a structure containing both of 3-((E)-2-Chloro- 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-2,2- dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and 3-methoxybenzenamine bioactive units may show enhanced insecticidal activity and prepared the title compound (I), Fig. 1. For preparation of the title compound, see: Liu & Yan (2007); and for the insecticidal properties of related compounds, see: Punja (1981). The propenyl and carboxamide substituents lie on the same side of the C4, C5, C6 cyclopropane ring plane, with the two methyl substituents, C7 and C8 on either side of this plane. The benzene ring system is essentially planar and makes a dihedral angle of 76.4 (3)° with the plane of the cyclopropane ring. The crystal packing of (I) is shown in Fig. 2 at the end of the Comment. The packing can be described as a dimeric arrangement of molecules linked through N—H···O···H—C hydrogen bond as shown in Fig. 2 and Table 1, the packing diagram also shows F and Cl interactions..

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. |

We reasoned that a structure containing both of 3-((E)-2-Chloro- 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-2,2- dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and 3-methoxybenzenamine bioactive units may show enhanced insecticidal activity and prepared the title compound (I), Fig. 1. For preparation of the title compound, see: Liu & Yan (2007); and for the insecticidal properties of related compounds, see: Punja (1981). The propenyl and carboxamide substituents lie on the same side of the C4, C5, C6 cyclopropane ring plane, with the two methyl substituents, C7 and C8 on either side of this plane. The benzene ring system is essentially planar and makes a dihedral angle of 76.4 (3)° with the plane of the cyclopropane ring. The crystal packing of (I) is shown in Fig. 2 at the end of the Comment. The packing can be described as a dimeric arrangement of molecules linked through N—H···O···H—C hydrogen bond as shown in Fig. 2 and Table 1, the packing diagram also shows F and Cl interactions..
