(Received 25 November 2010; accepted 9 December 2010; online 18 December 2010)

In the title compound, C10H9N3O3, the benzene ring is almost coplanar with the heterocyclic ring, making a dihedral angle of 11.3 (1)°. The plane of the carboxyl group is rotated by 8.4 (2)° with respect to the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring plane. The aliphatic chain exhibits an extended conformation. In the crystal, mol­ecules are liked through inter­molecular O—H⋯N bonds, forming a chain structure along the c axis.

Comment top

1,2,4-Oxadiazoles are well known compounds, which exhibit a large number of biological activities (Jakopin & Dolenc, 2008). Recently, the use of this heterocycle as core for luminescent liquid crystals has also been described (Gallardo et al., 2008). Here we report the structure of title compound (Fig. 1), the benzene ring is almost coplanar with the heterocyclic ring, making a dihedral angle of 11.3 (1) °. The torsion angle N2—C5—C6—C10 between the pyridine ring attached to C-5 of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole system is -8.0 (3) °, both rings are almost coplanar. The C-4 side-chain containing a carboxylic acid group shows a zigzag arrangement, having the torsion angle C1—C2—C3—C4 of -178.0 (2) °. In addition, the plane of the carboxylic group is also rotated by 8.4 (2) ° with respect to the mean plane of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole five-membered ring. This makes the molecular structure to be slightly twisted. In the crystal structure, molecules are liked through intermolecular O—H···N, forming a one-dimensional chain structure along the crystallographic c axis.

Experimental top

To a solution of nitrile (0.2 mol) in ethanol (20 mL) was added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.4 mol) in water (40 mL). Then anhydrous sodium carbonate(0.4 mol) in water (120 mL) was slowly added to the resulting solution and the mixture was stirred at 358k for 5 h. The mixture was then concentrated under vacuum to evaporate some water. The resulting suspension was filtered, the amidoxime solid formed was washed with cold water, dried under vacuum. A thoroughly triturated mixture of amidoxime (0.04 mol) and succinic anhydride (0.08 mol) was heated in an oily bath to 403k and kept at this temperature for 4 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the product was washed with cold water, filtered, and recrystallized from ethanol. Block-shaped crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained from methanol.

Refinement top

H atoms bound to C atoms were placed in calculated positions and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic C), C—H = 0.97Å (methylene C), and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atom bound to O1 was located from Fourier difference map and refined with O—H = 0.82 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top

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.
