The 4-nitro-2-phenoxyaniline was prepared by condensation of o-chloronitrobenzene with phenol followed by acetylation and nitration (Shreenivasa et al., 2009). The final product obtained was recrystallized using ethanol as a solvent. Colorless crystals were appeared after 4 days by slow evaporation.
H atoms were placed at idealized positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with C–H distances in the range 0.93–0.98 Å; Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier atom) for all H atoms.
The phenoxy anilines are versatile intermediates for synthesizing several pharmaceutical drugs i.e. Nimesulide, Ampxipine and Loxapine. The Nitro-2-phenoxyaniline is an intermediate for the synthesis of Nimesulide and it was probably the first COX-2 selective non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) identified with this key pharmacological properties (Moore & Harrington, 1974; Prasad et al. 2005). It is a unique molecule with twin aromatic ring structure. The nitro-2-phenoxyaniline is a derivative of biphenyl ether. More generally, biphenyl ether derivatives have many biological, herbicidal (Yu et al., 2008) and organic chemistry applications.
derived from aromatic have a wide variety of applications in many fields, viz., biological, inorganic and anlytical chemistry (Singh et al., 1975; Cimerman et al., 2000). They are known to exhibit potent antibacterial, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory (Shah et al. 1992), anticancer (Pandeya et al., 1999), anti-hypertensive and hypnotic (More et al., 2001) activities. With this background, the title compound (I), was synthesized and we report its here.A perspective view of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The two aromatic rings are not coplanar. This is confirmed by the dihedral angle value of 71.38 (12)° between two six-membered rings. The oxygen atom connecting the two aromatic rings is in syn-periplanar (sp) conformation as indicated by the torsion angle value of 13.0 (3)°. The nitro group lies in the plane of the aniline ring as indicated by the C2—C1—N7—O8 and C6—C1—N7—O9 torsion angles of -176.1 (2)° and -174.4 (2)°, respectively. These values are different from the values reported earlier (Naveen S. et al. 2006). The structure exhibits both inter and intramolecular N—H···O interaction. The intermolecular N10—H10A···O9 interaction has a length of 2.17Å and angle of 170° with symmetry codes 3/2-x,-1/2+y,1-z. The molecules exhibit layered stackings when viewd down the 'b' axis as shown in Fig. 2.

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 > 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 phenoxy anilines are versatile intermediates for synthesizing several pharmaceutical drugs i.e. Nimesulide, Ampxipine and Loxapine. The Nitro-2-phenoxyaniline is an intermediate for the synthesis of Nimesulide and it was probably the first COX-2 selective non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) identified with this key pharmacological properties (Moore & Harrington, 1974; Prasad et al. 2005). It is a unique molecule with twin aromatic ring structure. The nitro-2-phenoxyaniline is a derivative of biphenyl ether. More generally, biphenyl ether derivatives have many biological, herbicidal (Yu et al., 2008) and organic chemistry applications. Schiff bases derived from aromatic amines have a wide variety of applications in many fields, viz., biological, inorganic and anlytical chemistry (Singh et al., 1975; Cimerman et al., 2000). They are known to exhibit potent antibacterial, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory (Shah et al. 1992), anticancer (Pandeya et al., 1999), anti-hypertensive and hypnotic (More et al., 2001) activities. With this background, the title compound (I), was synthesized and we report its crystal structure here.
A perspective view of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The two aromatic rings are not coplanar. This is confirmed by the dihedral angle value of 71.38 (12)° between two six-membered rings. The oxygen atom connecting the two aromatic rings is in syn-periplanar (sp) conformation as indicated by the torsion angle value of 13.0 (3)°. The nitro group lies in the plane of the aniline ring as indicated by the C2—C1—N7—O8 and C6—C1—N7—O9 torsion angles of -176.1 (2)° and -174.4 (2)°, respectively. These values are different from the values reported earlier (Naveen S. et al. 2006). The structure exhibits both inter and intramolecular N—H···O interaction. The intermolecular N10—H10A···O9 interaction has a length of 2.17Å and angle of 170° with symmetry codes 3/2-x,-1/2+y,1-z. The molecules exhibit layered stackings when viewd down the 'b' axis as shown in Fig. 2.
