In the title compound, C10H6F3N3, the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine group is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.021 (1) Å. The F atoms in the trifluoromethyl group and the methyl H atoms are each disordered over two sets of sites with refined site occupancies of 0.68 (1):0.32 (1). In the crystal, molecules are linked into infinite chains through two C—H⋯N interactions forming R22(12) and R22(8) hydrogen-bond ring motifs. These chains are stacked along the a axis.

A mixture of 5-(trifluoromethyl) pyridin-2-amine (0.01mol) and dimethylacetamide dimethyl acetal (0.03mol) was refluxed for 24 hr at 900 C. The resultant product was recrystallized from ethanol. The product so obtained (0.01mol) was refluxed with bromoacetonitrile (0.01mol) in toluene at 600 C. The product was then removed by evaporation of toluene under reduced pressure and it was isolated by
using ethyl acetate as an It was then recrystallized by slow evaporation from ethanol to give crystals suitable for x-ray analysis.H atoms were placed in calculated positions [C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å] and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2eq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl group. The F atoms in trifluoromethyl group and the H atoms in methyl group are disordered over two position with refined site occupancies of 0.68 (1):0.32 (1).

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. |

The imidazole nucleus is a widely used pharmacophore in medicinal compounds due to its broad spectrum of biological activities. Moreover imidazole derivatives are isosteres of naturally-occurring nucleotides which allow them to interact easily with the biopolymers of the living systems. It has been known that imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives exhibit diverse biological activities (Gudmundsson & Johns, 2003) and were used as antiviral (Elhakmoui et al., 1994), antiulcer (Kaminski et al., 1989), antibacterial (Rewankar et al., 1975), antifungal (Fisher & Lusi, 1972), antiprotozoal (Biftu et al., 2006), antiherpes (Gudmundsson & Johns, 2007) and anti-inflammatory (Rupert et al., 2003) compounds.
All bond lengths and angles in the compound are within normal range. The imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine group is planar with maximum deviation of -0.021 (1)Å for atom N1 (Fig. 1). The F atoms in the trifluoromethyl group and the methyl H atoms are disordered over two positions with refined site occupancies of 0.68 (1):0.32 (1).
In the crystal structure, the molecules form infinite chains through C1—H1A···N3i and C4—H4A···N2ii (Table 1) interactions. These interactions also form R22(12) and R22(8) hydrogen ring motifs, respectively (Bernstein et al., 1995). The chains are stacked along the a-axis (Fig. 2).
