In the title molecule, C14H11BrClNO2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the bromo-substitued benzene and the chloro-substituted benzene rings is 1.8 (4) °. The nitro group is twisted by 15.8 (6)° from the mean plane of the benzene ring to which it is attached. The crystal packing is influenced by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions and weak π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.903 (2), 3.596 (2) and 3.903 (2) Å].

1-[2(2-Bromo-phenylethyl]-4-chloro-2-nitrobenzene was obtained as a gift sample from RL Fine Chem, Bangalore. The compound was recrystallized from dichloromethane (m.p.: 361–363 K).
All of the H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with Atom—H lengths of 0.95Å (CH) and 0.99Å (CH2). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.18–1.21 (CH), or 1.18 (CH2) times Ueq of the parent atom.
1-(4-Chloro-2-nitrophenethyl)-2-bromobenzene is an intermediate in the synthesis of 10,11–dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine derivatives. It has also been used successfully in the preparation of a number of biologically active compounds and drugs; e.g. the antidepressants imipramine, chloripramine are among the most commonly known. The crystal and molecular structure of the tricyclic antidepressant chlorimipramine hydrochloride is reported (Post & Horn, 1977). In view of the importance of the title compound as a pharmaceutical intermediate, this paper reports its crystal structure.
In the π–π stacking interactions (Fig. 2).
of the title compound, C14H11BrClNO2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of 1-bromo benzene and 2-nitro, 4-chloro benzene rings is 1.8 (4)Å (Fig. 1). The nitro group is twisted 15.8 (6)° from the mean plane of the 2-nitro, 4-chloro benzene ring. Bond angles and distances (Allen et al., 1987) are in normal ranges. Crystal packing is influenced by weak C—H···O intermolecular interactions (Table 2) and weakFor background and a related structure, see: Post & Horn (1977). For bond-length data, see: Allen et al. (1987).

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-(4-Chloro-2-nitrophenethyl)-2-bromobenzene is an intermediate in the synthesis of 10,11–dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine derivatives. It has also been used successfully in the preparation of a number of biologically active compounds and drugs; e.g. the antidepressants imipramine, chloripramine are among the most commonly known. The crystal and molecular structure of the tricyclic antidepressant chlorimipramine hydrochloride is reported (Post & Horn, 1977). In view of the importance of the title compound as a pharmaceutical intermediate, this paper reports its crystal structure.
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C14H11BrClNO2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of 1-bromo benzene and 2-nitro, 4-chloro benzene rings is 1.8 (4)Å (Fig. 1). The nitro group is twisted 15.8 (6)° from the mean plane of the 2-nitro, 4-chloro benzene ring. Bond angles and distances (Allen et al., 1987) are in normal ranges. Crystal packing is influenced by weak C—H···O intermolecular interactions (Table 2) and weak π–π stacking interactions (Fig. 2).
