The title compound, C19H14ClFN2O3, was prepared by the reaction of ethyl (Z)-3-amino-2-cyano-3-(4-fluorophenyl)acrylate and 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride. The dihedral angle between the chlorobenzene and fluorobenzene rings is 66.18 (19)°. In addition to an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond, there are intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonding interactions, which stabilize the crystal structure.

To a solution of ethyl (2Z)-3-amino-2-cyano-3-(4-fluorophenyl)acrylate (1.17 g, 0.0050 mol) in CH2Cl2 (18 ml), 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride (2.63 g, 0.015 mol) was added. Subsequently, Et3N (1.52 g, 0.015 mol) was dropped into the solution under stirring. The reaction mixture was then heated to reflux, stirred for 4 h and cooled to room temperature. The reaction solution was filtered off and some white solid was separated. The organic phase was washed with water and then dried over Na2SO4. After removal of the solvent, a brown dope was obtained. The title compound was isolated by
using ethyl acetate/light petroleum (1:6 v/v) as Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature of an ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (3:1 v/v) solution after 45 days.All H atoms were placed at calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93-0.97 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N) or 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.

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. |

Recently, 2-cyanoacrylates have been extensively used as agrochemicals because of their unique mechanism of action and good environmental profiles. The title compound is useful as an inhibitor of Pyricularia oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea and Gibberella zeae (Heller et al., 2004; Ibers & Hamilton, 1964).
In the title compound (Fig.1), all bond lengths and angles are unexcepional. The aromatic rings of the chlorobenzene and fluorobenzene groups form a dihedral angle of 66.18 (19)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1). The crystal packing is governed by C—H···O and C—H···N hydrogen interactions (Fig.2) resulting in a three-dimensional network.
