To a solution of 1,2-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (0.47 g, 2 mmol) in chloroform (20 ml) was added dropwise benzoyl chloride (0.28 g, 2 mmol) in chloroform (10 ml) under stirring at room temperature using pyridine (0.17 g, 2.1 mmol) as the catalyst. After stirring for 2 h, the solvent was distilled off under vacuum. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column using cyclohexane-dichloromethane (V/V, 1:2) as the
to get the yellow solid (0.37 g, 55%). An anhydrous ethanol solution of the title compound was stood at room temperature, and by slowly evaporating ethanol from the solution, yellow crystals suitable for X-ray were isolated one month later. m.p.: 500–501 K.H atoms were placed in calculated positions with N—H = 0.86 Å, C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.96 Å (methyl), and refined in riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) and 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl). 1662 Friedel pairs were averaged before the final

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. |

1,2,4,5-Tetrazine derivatives have high potential for biological activity, possessing a wide spectrum of antiviral and antitumor properties. They have been widely used in pesticides and herbicides (Sauer, 1996). Dihydro-1,2,4,5- tetrazine has four isomers, namely 1,2-, 1,4-, 1,6- and 3,6-dihydro-1,2,4,5- tetrazines. The 1,4-dihydro structures (Rao et al., 2006) were found to have potential antitumor properties. In continuation of our work on the structure-activity relationship of dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives (Hu et al., 2004 & Xu et al., 2010), we report here the crystal structure of the title compound (I) (Fig. 1).
In the tetrazine ring, atoms N2, C3, N5 and C6 are almost coplanar, while atoms N1 and N4 deviate from the plane by 0.447 (2) and 0.330 (2) Å, respectively. The N1/N2/C6 and C3/N4/N5 planes make dihedral angles of 35.76 (2)° and 27.66 (2)°, respectively, with the N2/C3/N5/C6 plane, i.e. the tetrazine ring adopts an unsymmetrical boat conformation. The benzene rings C7—C12, C13—C18 and C20—C25 make dihedral angles of 22.88 (2)°, 17.80 (2)° and 87.09 (2)° with the N2/C3/N5/C6 plane, respectively. Atom N1 is almost sp2 hybridized due to the angles around it add up to 358.0 (2)°.
The crystal packing (Fig.2) is stabilized by intermolecular N—H—O interactions between a hydrogen on nitrogen N(4) and the O atom of carbonyl group, with a N—H—O separation of 2.806 (2) Å (Table 2).
