In the title compound, C14H7Cl2N3O3, the dichlorophenyl and nitrophenyl rings form dihedral angles of 5.4 (2) and 4.0 (2)°, respectively, with the oxadiazole ring. The nitro group is twisted out of the attached benzene ring by a dihedral angle of 10.4 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into a chain along the a axis by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

The title compound was prepared by heating a solution of 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (1.15 g, 0.02 mol) and N'-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzamidine (1 g, 0.02 mol) in pyridine (30 ml). The reaction mixture was heated at 114°C for 1.5 h and concentrated under vacuum. Further purification was done by
The solid obtained was recrystallized using dichloromethane (yield: 1.0 g (55%), m.p 458-461 K).H atoms were positioned geometrically with C-H = 0.93 Å and were refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Heterocyclic compounds are becoming increasingly important in recent years due to their pharmacological activities (Isloor et al., 2010). Nitrogen- and oxygen-containing five/six-membered
are of enormous significance in the field of medicinal chemistry (Chandrakantha et al., 2010). Oxadiazoles play a very vital role in the preparation of various biologically active drugs with anti-inflammatory (Andersen et al., 1994), anti-cancer (Showell et al., 1991), anti-HIV (Watjen et al., 1989), anti-diabetic and anti-microbial (Swain et al., 1991) activities. The results of biological studies showed that oxadiazole derivatives also possess maximum anti-inflammatory, analgesic and minimum ulcerogenic and lipid per-oxidation (Clitherow et al., 1996) properties.Bond lengths and angles in the title molecule (Fig.1) are within the normal range and comparable to those observed in related structures (Wang et al., 2006; Fun et al., 2010a,b). The oxadiazole ring (C7/C8/N1/N2/O1) forms dihedral angles of 5.4 (2)° and 4.0 (2)°, respectively, with with the C1–C6 and C9–C14 benzene rings. The plane of the nitro group is twisted out of the C9–C14 benzene ring by a dihedral of 10.4 (3)°.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Heterocyclic compounds are becoming increasingly important in recent years due to their pharmacological activities (Isloor et al., 2010). Nitrogen- and oxygen-containing five/six-membered heterocyclic compounds are of enormous significance in the field of medicinal chemistry (Chandrakantha et al., 2010). Oxadiazoles play a very vital role in the preparation of various biologically active drugs with anti-inflammatory (Andersen et al., 1994), anti-cancer (Showell et al., 1991), anti-HIV (Watjen et al., 1989), anti-diabetic and anti-microbial (Swain et al., 1991) activities. The results of biological studies showed that oxadiazole derivatives also possess maximum anti-inflammatory, analgesic and minimum ulcerogenic and lipid per-oxidation (Clitherow et al., 1996) properties.
Bond lengths and angles in the title molecule (Fig.1) are within the normal range and comparable to those observed in related structures (Wang et al., 2006; Fun et al., 2010a,b). The oxadiazole ring (C7/C8/N1/N2/O1) forms dihedral angles of 5.4 (2)° and 4.0 (2)°, respectively, with with the C1–C6 and C9–C14 benzene rings. The plane of the nitro group is twisted out of the C9–C14 benzene ring by a dihedral of 10.4 (3)°.
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the molecules are connected by intermolecular C13—H13A···N1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) forming chains along the a axis.
