In the molecule of the title compound, C16H19N3O6, the imidazole ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.002 (2) Å] and forms a dihedral angle of 5.08 (14)° with the nitro group. In the adjacent molecules are connected via intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into columns parallel to the a axis.

To a solution of the 4-(2-(2-(2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethoxy) ethoxy)ethyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonate (0.600 g, 1.5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.569 g, 4.1 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added a solution of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (0.166 g, 1.4 mmol) in DMF (10 ml) under argon atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at 120°C for 20 h. After concentration on the rotary evaporator under reduced pressure, ethyl acetate (80 ml) was then added to the reaction residue. The content was then washed with water (20 ml × 3), dried (Na2SO4) and the organic layer was evaporated to dryness and subjected to δ: 3.66 (m, 4H), 3.86 (m, 4H), 4.22 (t, J = 4.5 Hz, 2H), 4.64 (t, J = 4.5 Hz, 2H), 7.04 (d, J = 9.0, 2H), 7.10 (s, 1H), 7.23 (s, 1H), 7.87 (d, J = 9.0 Hz, 2H), 9.91 (s, 1H). Single crystals of X-ray diffraction quality were prepared by the slow diffusion of hexane into a dichloromethane solution of the title compound.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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. |

Nitroimidazole is an important building block in the design and synthesis of hypoxia makers (Abdel-Jalil et al. 2006; Kennedy et al. 2006, Nagasawa et al., 2006). In a normal cell, the nitroimidazole moiety undergoes reduction to become a potentially reactive species and can be reoxidized in the presence of normal oxygen levels. However in hypoxic tissues, the low oxygen concentration is not able to effectively reoxidize the molecule and this results in more reactive intermediates that bind with the components of hypoxic tissues (Nunn et al., 1995). In an attempt to develop new hypoxic cell radiosensitizers, we present herein the crystal structure of 4-(2-(2-(2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl) ethoxy)-ethoxy)ethoxy)benzaldehyde (I).
In (I), (Fig. 1), the imidazole group is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.002 (2) Å for atom N2. The nitro group is twisted from the mean plane of imidazole ring with torsion angles O5—N3—C15—N1 = -3.7 (3)° and O6—N3—C15—N1 = 176.7 (2)°. The conformation of the 1-(2-(2-ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)propane group is (-)-syn-clinal with respect to the imidazole ring, which is reflected by the torsion angle N1—C12—C11—O3 = -105.5 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the imidazole (N1–N2/C13–C15) ring and the benzene (C1–C6) ring is 38.60 (13)°. Bond distances and angles have normal values (Allen et al., 1987).
The crystal packing (Fig. 2) shows that the molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C9—H9B···O4 and C10—H10A···O4 (Table 1) hydrogen interactions into columns parallel to the a axis.
