The title compound, C14H12N2, was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methyl-N-(2-nitrobenzyl)aniline with tin(II) chloride dihydrate in ethanol at 313 K. The indazole ring system is almost planar with a dihedral angle of 1.58 (10)° between the rings, whereas the plane of the attached p-tolyl substituent shows a dihedral angle of 46.26 (5)° with respect to the indazole core.

The title compound, (I), was prepared by the reaction of 4-methyl-N-(2-nitrobenzyl)aniline (3 mmol) and tin (II) chloride dihydrate (6 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) at 313 K (yield: 40%). Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanolic solution. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, δ): 2.39 (3H, s, CH3), 7.09–7.12 (1H, m, ArH), 7.29–7.33 (1H, m, ArH), 7.40 (2H, d, J = 8.4 Hz, ArH), 7.71 (1H, d, J = 8.8 Hz, ArH), 7.77 (1H, d, J = 8.8 Hz, ArH), 7.98 (2H, d, J = 8.4 Hz, ArH), 9.06 (1H, s, CH). 13C NMR (DMSO-d6, δ): 20.69, 117.56, 120.27, 121.01, 121.45, 122.13, 122.58, 126.77, 130.23, 137.53, 137.91, 148.98.
The C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å, and included in the final cycles of
using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5(methyl) Ueq(C).Indazole is well known as an aza analogue of indole, and a number of indazole derivatives have powerful pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory (Bistochi et al., 1981; Picciola et al., 1981), antitumor (Keppler & Hartmann, 1994), anti-HIV (Sun et al., 1997; Rodgers et al., 1996), antidepressant (Ykeda et al., 1979), contraceptive activities (Corsi et al., 1976) as well as anti-aggregatory, and vasorelaxant activity by NO release (Cerecetto et al., 2005). Different approaches to the synthesis of 2-substituted indazoles have been reported (Stadlbauer, 2002). However, many of these still suffer from drawbacks as unsatisfactory yields, long reaction time and high temperature. Therefore, the development of more efficient methods for preparation of this kind of compounds is still an active research area.
We report here the
of the title compound, (I), which was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methyl-N-(2-nitrobenzyl)aniline with tin (II) chloride dihydrate using ethanol as solvent at 313 K.In (I), the pyrazole ring (C1/C2/C7/N1/N2) is a new formed ring. The dihedral angle between the C1/C2/C7/N1/N2 plane and the C2/C3/C4/C5/C6/C7 plane is 1.58 (10)°, so the indazole ring shows an almost perfectly planar conformation. The dihedral angle between the C2/C3/C4/C5/C6/C7 plane and the C8/C9/C10/C11/C12/C13 of the p-tolyl substituent plane is 46.26 (5)°.

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. |

Indazole is well known as an aza analogue of indole, and a number of indazole derivatives have powerful pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory (Bistochi et al., 1981; Picciola et al., 1981), antitumor (Keppler & Hartmann, 1994), anti-HIV (Sun et al., 1997; Rodgers et al., 1996), antidepressant (Ykeda et al., 1979), contraceptive activities (Corsi et al., 1976) as well as anti-aggregatory, and vasorelaxant activity by NO release (Cerecetto et al., 2005). Different approaches to the synthesis of 2-substituted indazoles have been reported (Stadlbauer, 2002). However, many of these still suffer from drawbacks as unsatisfactory yields, long reaction time and high temperature. Therefore, the development of more efficient methods for preparation of this kind of compounds is still an active research area.
We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), which was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methyl-N-(2-nitrobenzyl)aniline with tin (II) chloride dihydrate using ethanol as solvent at 313 K.
In (I), the pyrazole ring (C1/C2/C7/N1/N2) is a new formed ring. The dihedral angle between the C1/C2/C7/N1/N2 plane and the C2/C3/C4/C5/C6/C7 plane is 1.58 (10)°, so the indazole ring shows an almost perfectly planar conformation. The dihedral angle between the C2/C3/C4/C5/C6/C7 plane and the C8/C9/C10/C11/C12/C13 of the p-tolyl substituent plane is 46.26 (5)°.
