The molecule of the title nicotinonitrile derivative, C22H19BrN2O2, is non-planar, the central pyridine ring making dihedral angles of 7.34 (14) and 43.56 (15)° with the 4-bromophenyl and 4-ethoxyphenyl rings, respectively. The ethoxy group of the 4-ethoxyphenyl is slightly twisted from the attached benzene ring [C—O—C—C = 174.2 (3)°], whereas the ethoxy group attached to the pyridine ring is in a (+)syn-clinal conformation [C—O—C—C = 83.0 (3)°]. A weak intramolecular C—H⋯N interaction generates an S(5) ring motif. In the the molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H⋯N interactions into screw chains along the b axis. These chains stacked along the a axis. π–π interactions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.8724 (16) and 3.8727 (16) Å are also observed.

(E-1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-(4-ethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (0.50 g, 0.0015 mole) were added with continuous stirring to a freshly prepared sodium alkoxide (0.0014 mole of sodium in 100 ml of ethanol). Malononitrile (1.30 g, 0.02 mol) was then added with continuous stirring at room temperature until the precipitate separated out. The resulting solid was filtered (yield 65%). Colorless needle-shaped single crystals of the title compound suitable for x-ray
were recrystalized from acetone/ethanol (1:1 v/v) by the slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature over several days, Mp. 418–419 K.All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å for aromatic, 0.97 for CH2 and 0.96 Å for CH3 atoms. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 1.07 Å from Br1 and the deepest hole is located at 0.96 Å from Br1.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2005); cell

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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. |

A large number of substituted pyridines have been claimed to exhibit biological activities in a number of areas (Borgna et al., 1993; Goda et al., 2004; Kamal et al., 2007; Malinka et al., 1998). The pyridine ring is among the most common heterocyclic compounds found in the naturally occurring heterocycles and in various therapeutic agents. Our research is aimed at the synthesis and preliminary pharmacological screening (in vivo) of the nicotinonitrile derivatives. Therefore the title nicotinonitrile derivative, which is a substituted pyridine compound, was synthesized by cyclization of a chalcone derivative (Fun et al., 2008) and malononitrile in order to investigate its analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Our results of these pharmacological studies showed that the title compound is a promising candidate for analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory profiles of the title compound together with some other related nicotinonitrile derivatives will be reported elsewhere.
The title compound (I), C22H19BrN2O2 is a non-planar molecule (Fig. 1). The central pyridine ring is nearly coplanar with the 4-bromophenyl ring with the dihedral angle of 7.34 (14)° whereas it is inclined to the 4-ethoxyphenyl unit with the dihedral angle of 43.56 (15)°. The ethoxy substituent of the 4-ethoxyphenyl is slightly twisted from the mean plane of the attached benzene ring with the torsion angle C15–O2–C20–C21 = 174.2 (3)° whereas the ethoxy group attached to the pyridine ring is in a (+)syn-clinal conformation with a C11–O1–C18–C19 torsion angle of 83.0 (3)°. The orientation of the cyano group can be indicated by the torsion angle C8–C9–C10–C22 = 177.0 (3)°. A weak intramolecular C1—H1A···N1 interaction generates an S(5) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The bond distances agree with the literature values (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with those for a related structure (Chantrapromma et al., 2009).
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H···N interactions (Table 1) into screw chains along the b axis. These chains stacked along the a axis. The crystal is further stabilized by π···π interactions with the Cg1···Cg2 distances of 3.8724 (16) Å (symmetry code: -1 + x, y, z) and 3.8727 (16) Å (symmetry code: 1 + x, y, z); Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of C7–C11/N1 and C1–C6 rings, respectively.
