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. |

Since the debut of Imidacloprid in the 1990 decade (Moriya et al., 1992), neonicotinoid insecticides have become rapidly an important chemical class of insecticides. Nitromethylene compounds (Kagabu et al., 2002) exhibited remarkably higher biological activity but poor photostability compared with Imidacloprid. Our synthetic interest was introducing dicyclic ring into the lead structure to improve its photostability and synthesizing a series of new compounds, in which compound (I) exhibited good insecticidal activities against pea aphids and was slightly weaker than that of imidacloprid (Tian et al., 2007).The dihedral angle between the mean planes passing through the pyridine ring and the five membered ring is 87.3 (2)°. The six membered N2/C3/C4/C5/C6/C7 ring adopts a twist sofa conformation. The title compound C15H19ClN4O3 , is an active agrochemical possessing insecticidal activity. The dihedral angle between the mean planes passing through the pyridine ring and the five membered ring is 87.3 (2)°. The six membered N2/C3/C4/C5/C6/C7 ring adopts a twist sofa conformation.The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular C— H··· N and C— H··· O hydrogen bond, Table 1.
