A mixture of cyclopropyl acetylene (0.012 mol), anhydrous zinc(II) (0.012 mol), triethylamine (1.67 ml, 0.012 mol), and toluene (25 ml) was stirred at 50°C for 2 h and cooled to 25°C. 4-Chloro- 2-trifluoroacetylaniline (0.01 mol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 25°C for 4 h, then at 50°C for 4 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was added to water (10 ml) and extracted three times with ethyl acetate (20 ml). The combined organic phase was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After removal of solvent, the residue was purified by
on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate; 20:1). M.p. 335 K.All H atoms were placed at calculated positions; C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H, C—H = 0.97 Å for methylene H; C—H = 0.98 Å for methine H. They were refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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-Cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)- 3-quinolinecarboxylic acid (ciprofloxacin) is a widely used broad-spectrum antibiotic, which is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Kayser & Novak, 1987; Rudin et al., 1984). 2,8-Bis(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl]-(2-piperidyl)methanol (mefloquin) is another popular quinoline derivative used in the treatment of malaria. Furthermore, studies have reported that it also possesses important structural features required for antimicrobial activity (Mao et al., 2009; Bermudez et al., 2004; Jayaprakash et al., 2006). Quinoline is the essential structural feature found in these drugs and recently developed antimycobacterial drugs (Andries et al., 2005). Thus, quinoline derivatives are good lead molecules to further develop drug candidates against mycobacterium tuberculosis and as antibacterial agents. On the basis of these observations, we have synthesized a quinoline derivative, with a cyclopropyl group and a trifluoromethyl group as substituents, expecting that the newly designed hybrid molecule would exhibit some antibacterial activity. In this paper we report the crystal structure of 6-chloro-2-cyclopropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline.
The asymmetric unit of the 6-chloro-2-cyclopropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl) quinoline contains one molecule (Fig. 1). The quinoline ring system makes a dihedral angle of 88.8 (2)° with the cyclopropyl ring. Bond distances and bond angles in the quinoline ring system are in good agreement with those observed in related crystal structures (Skörska et al., 2005; Devarajegowda et al., 2010; Li et al., 2005). The packing of the molecules, when viewed along the b axis, is shown in Fig. 2.
