Comment top

The benzanilide core is present in compounds with such a wide range of biological activities that it has been called a privileged structure. Benzanilides serve as intermediates towards benzothiadiazin-4-ones (Makino et al., 2003), quinazoline-2,4-diones (Makino et al., 2001) and benzodiazepine-2,5-diones (Ho et al., 2002) and 110 kinase inhibitors 2,3-disubstituted 3H-quinazoline-4-ones (Zhichkin et al., 2007). Benzanilides have established their efficacy as centroid elements of ligands that bind to a wide variety of receptor types. Thus benzanilides containing aminoalkyl groups originally designed as a peptidomimetic, have been incorporated in an Arg-Gly-Asp cyclic peptide yielding a high affinity GPIIb/IIIa ligand (Jackson et al., 1994). Imatinib is an ATP-site binding kinase inhibitor and platelet-derived growth factor receptor kinases (Capdeville et al., 2002). Pyridylmethyl containing benzanilide are vascular endothelial growth factor receptor and tyrosine kinase inhibitor (Manley et al., 2002). Furthermore, benzamides have been reported to have activities as acetyl-CoA carboxylase and farnesyl transferase inhibitors (Igawa et al., 1999)

Geometric parameters of the title compound are in the usual ranges. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 41.48 (5)°. The nitro group is twisted by 24.7 (3)° out of the plane of the aromatic ring to which it is attached. The molecules crystallize in chains running along the a axis. The molecules in a chain are connected by N—H···O hydrogen bonds.

Refinement top

Due to the absence of any anomalous scatterer, Friedel pairs were merged prior to refinement and the absolute structure was arbitrarily set. All H atoms were found in a difference map, but those bonded to C were geometrically positioned and refined with fixed individual displacement parameters [Uiso(H) = 1.2or 1.5 Ueq(C)] using a riding model with C—H = 0.95 Å. The amino H atom was freely refined.

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.
