In the title compound, C13H7NO4, the 2-furyl ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.004 (1) Å. It is inclined at an angle of 11.69 (4)° to the benzene ring. The nitro group is slightly twisted out of the plane of the 2-furyl ring, with a dihedral angle of 5.72 (8)°. There is a short O⋯C contact of 2.8562 (8) Å (symmetry code: −x, −y, 2 − z). In the crystal packing, mol­ecules are linked via a pair of inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, giving rise to an R22(10) ring motif. Mol­ecules are further linked into two-dimensional networks parallel to [100] via other inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is consolidated by C—H⋯π inter­actions.

Nitrofurans are class of synthetic compounds characterized by the presence of 5-nitro-2-furyl group. The presence of nitro group in the position-5 of the molecule conferred antibacterial activity (Holla et al., 1986). A number of nitrofurans have attained commercial utility as antibacterial agents in humans and in veterinary medicine because of their broad spectrum of activity (Holla et al., 1992; Holla et al., 1987). 1-Aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propyn-1-ones were prepared by the hydrobromination of 2,3-dibromo-1-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propan-1-ones in the presence of triethylamine in benzene medium. The dibromopropanones were in turn obtained by the bromination of 1-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propen-1-ones. Acid catalysed condensation of acetophenones with 5- nitrofuraldiacetate in acetic acid yielded the required 1-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-propen-1-ones called chalcones (Rai et al., 2008).

In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the 2-furyl (O1/C1–C4) ring is essentially planar (maximum deviation = 0.004 (1) Å for atoms O1) and is inclined at an angle of 11.69 (4)° with the phenyl ring (C11–C16), which indicates they are nearly parallel to each other. The nitro group (N1/O1/O2) is slightly twisted away from the attached 2-furyl ring [dihedral angle = 5.72 (8)]. There is a short O4···C1 contact (symmetry code : -x, -y, 2 - z) with distance = 2.8562 (8) Å which is shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii of the O and C atoms. Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges.

In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked via a pair of intermolecular C2—H2···O2 hydrogen bonds, displaying R22(10) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). The molecules are further linked into two-dimensional networks parallel to (100) via intermolecular C11—H11···O4 hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further consilidated by C3—H3···Cg1 (Table 1), where Cg1 is the centroid of C8–C13 phenyl ring.

Experimental top

To a stirred solution of 2,3-dibromo-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one (0.01 mol) in dry benzene (100 ml), a solution of triethylamine (0.04 mol) in dry benzene (30 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The resulting mass of triethylamine hydrobromide was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated by distilling the benzene under reduced pressure. The concentrated solution was cooled to room temperature. The product formed was collected by filtration and washed with ethanol. It was then recrystallized from ethanol. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from 1:2 mixtures of DMF and ethanol by slow evaporation.

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.70 Å from C13 and the deepest hole is located at 1.10 Å from C1.

Special details top

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

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.
