2-Chloro-3-(4-chlorobenzamido)-1,4-naphthoquinone
aDepartment of Chemistry, Howard University, 525 College Street NW, Washington, DC 20059, USA
*Correspondence e-mail: rbutcher99@yahoo.com
The naphthoquinone ring is almost perpendicular [dihedral angle 71.02 (3)°] to the phenyl group of the title compound, C17H9Cl2NO3, while the dihedral angle between the amide group and the 4-chlorophenyl ring is 21.9 (2)°. The conformation of the N—H and C=O bonds are anti to each other. N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains in the a-axis direction. In addition, these chains are linked by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions.

A mixture of 2-amino-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (213 mg, 1.03 mmol) and 4-chloro-benzoylchloride (2 ml) was refluxed for 2 1/2 h (powerstat setting at 70). The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The precipitate was isolated by vacuum filtration and the yellow-grey solid was washed with diethyl ether. The crude was recrystallized from ethanol (20 ml) to obtain a yellow solid (67 mg, 18.8%). Crystals for x-ray study were obtained by recrystallization from methanol.
All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C—H = 0.95 Å, N—H = 0.88 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N).

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. |

The amido and imido derivatives of 3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone are well known for their anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet, antiallergic and anticancer activities (Lien et al., 1997; Huang et al., 2005; Bakare et al., 2003; Copeland et al., 2007). The title compound, 2-chloro-3-(p-chlorobenzamido)-1,4-naphthoquinone was obtained as an intermediate in the synthesis of some oxazolo-1,4-naphthoquinone and imido-substituted-1,4-naphthoquinone analogs.
The naphthoquinone ring is almost perpendicular to the phenyl group of the title compound C17H9Cl2NO3, while the dihedral angle betwen the amide group and the 4-chlorophenyl ring is 21.9 (2)° (Fig. 1). The conformation of the N—H and C=O bonds are anti to each other (Gowda, Kožíšek et al., 2008; Gowda, Tokarčík et al., 2008). N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains in the a direction. In addition, these chains are linked by weak intermolecular Ar—H···O interactions (Fig. 2, Table 1).
