In the title compound, C14H8F5NO, the dihedral angle between the planes of the pentafluorophenyl and phenyl rings is 18.34 (5)°. An intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond between the amide groups connects these molecules to form an infinite chain through the One weak intermolecular C—H⋯O contact and one π–π interaction [centroid–centroid distance = 3.772 (3) Å] are also involved in stabilization between the phenyl rings.

Benzylamine (184 mg, 1.72 mmol) and triethylamine (470µl, 3.44 mmol) were mixed in dry DCM under inert atmosphere (Ar). The reaction mixture was cooled (ice–salt bath) and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoylchloride (240µl, 1.72 mmol) in dry DCM was added dropwise to the reaction mixture. After addition the reaction mixture was stirred in ice–salt bath for 1 h and in room temperature for additional 20 h. The reaction mixture was washed twice with water and organic layer was dried and evaporated to yield white solid product. For the single-crystal X-ray analysis the crude product was recrystallized from CHCl3 yielding colourless needles.
All H atoms were visible in electron density maps, but those bonded to C were ideally positioned and allowed to ride on their parent atoms at C—H distances of 0.95 Å (aromatic) and 0.99 Å (methylene), with Uiso(H) of 1.2 times Ueq(C). The N—H proton were found in the
and was refined with a distance restraint [N—H = 0.88 (2) Å], and Uiso(H) = 1.2 times Ueq(N) was used.The title compound is synthesized by classical amide formation reaction between amine (benzylamine) and carboxylic acid halide (2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoylchloride). The molecule of this secondary amide is not planar and contains two aromatic ring systems (Fig. 1), the other one being electron poor due to electron-withdrawing force of connected F atoms. This pentafluorophenyl moiety has recently been found to be an excellent halogen···π contact acceptor for halide and polyhalide anions in similar ammonium salt structures (Albrecht et al., 2010; Müller et al., 2010) and also acceptor for C═O···C(aromatic) anion···.π-type contacts (Lahtinen & Rissanen, 2007). The pentafluorophenyl ring is found to be inclined to phenyl ring by 18.34 (5)°. The C10/C9/N8/O1 amide group is more significantly inclined to pentafluorophenyl ring by 56.95 (4)° and to phenyl ring by 56.21 (4)°, as also observed, for example, with few substituted N-phenyl-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzamides (Cockroft et al., 2007) and N-Benzyl-4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzamide (Qadeer et al., 2007).
The intermolecular interactions of the title compound include one N—H···O, one C—H···O (Table 1) and one π–π contacts. The N—H···O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules to form infinite chain in (x + 1/2, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2) direction (Fig. 2), where every second molecule is in same orientation and every second is rotated 180° on the direction of b axis. Similar chain was obtained, for example,with N-Benzyl-4-phenylbenzamide (An & Rhee, 2003). These chains are connected to each other by one C—H···O (Table 1) and one π–π contacts (Fig. 3), the latter having centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.772 (3) Å and closest C···C distance of 3.327 (3) Å. These distances are slightly longer than in the structure of N-(2-pyridyl)-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzamide (Forbes et al., 2001). The C═O···C(aromatic) anion···.π-type contact, found from the related structure of N-[1-(silatran-1-yl)propyl]pentaflurobenzamide (Lahtinen & Rissanen, 2007), seems to be in this case forced by nearby N—H···O contact. Fluorines F3 and F4 (Fig. 1) show distance 2.920 (2) Å to F3 and F4 of the neighbouring molecule in (-x, -y, -z + 1) direction, but this contact is most probably too weak to be significant in crystal stabilization.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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 title compound is synthesized by classical amide formation reaction between amine (benzylamine) and carboxylic acid halide (2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoylchloride). The molecule of this secondary amide is not planar and contains two aromatic ring systems (Fig. 1), the other one being electron poor due to electron-withdrawing force of connected F atoms. This pentafluorophenyl moiety has recently been found to be an excellent halogen···π contact acceptor for halide and polyhalide anions in similar ammonium salt structures (Albrecht et al., 2010; Müller et al., 2010) and also acceptor for C═O···C(aromatic) anion···.π-type contacts (Lahtinen & Rissanen, 2007). The pentafluorophenyl ring is found to be inclined to phenyl ring by 18.34 (5)°. The C10/C9/N8/O1 amide group is more significantly inclined to pentafluorophenyl ring by 56.95 (4)° and to phenyl ring by 56.21 (4)°, as also observed, for example, with few substituted N-phenyl-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzamides (Cockroft et al., 2007) and N-Benzyl-4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzamide (Qadeer et al., 2007).
The intermolecular interactions of the title compound include one N—H···O, one C—H···O (Table 1) and one π–π contacts. The N—H···O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules to form infinite chain in (x + 1/2, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2) direction (Fig. 2), where every second molecule is in same orientation and every second is rotated 180° on the direction of b axis. Similar chain was obtained, for example,with N-Benzyl-4-phenylbenzamide (An & Rhee, 2003). These chains are connected to each other by one C—H···O (Table 1) and one π–π contacts (Fig. 3), the latter having centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.772 (3) Å and closest C···C distance of 3.327 (3) Å. These distances are slightly longer than in the structure of N-(2-pyridyl)-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzamide (Forbes et al., 2001). The C═O···C(aromatic) anion···.π-type contact, found from the related structure of N-[1-(silatran-1-yl)propyl]pentaflurobenzamide (Lahtinen & Rissanen, 2007), seems to be in this case forced by nearby N—H···O contact. Fluorines F3 and F4 (Fig. 1) show distance 2.920 (2) Å to F3 and F4 of the neighbouring molecule in (-x, -y, -z + 1) direction, but this contact is most probably too weak to be significant in crystal stabilization.
