The title compound, C13H12ClN3O, exhibits a trans geometry about the N=N double bond in the solid state. The dihedral angle between the rings is 22.20 (8)°. Intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amine and methoxy groups lead to the formation of a chain-like polymer along the c axis with a C(6) graph set. There is also weak non-classical C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving an aromatic C—H group and a diazenyl N atom, which connect the chains into a two-dimensional framework.

To a 1000 ml flask in ice bath, was added 6.36 g (0.05 mol) of p-chloroaniline and 4.68 g (0.13 mol) of HCl (d = 1.18 g.ml-1). To the obtained solution was added dropwise a solution of sodium nitrite (4.14 g in 25 ml H2O). Then, a diluted solution of m-anizidine (6.15 g, 0.05 mol) in 10 ml of methanol was added to the solution. The pH of the solution was adjusted at about 7–8 by adding a solution of 14.76 g of sodium acetate (0.18 mol) in 45 ml H2O as solvent. The solution was stirred for about 45 minutes, giving an orange precipitate. It was then filtered off and dried in vacuum. After dissolving in DMF and recrystallization, orange crystals of the title compound were obtained. M.p. 191–193 °C. Elemental Anal. calc. for C13H12ClN3O: C 59.66, H 4.62, N 16.06 %; ound: C 59.79, H 4.24, N 15.85 %. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ, ppm: 3.85 (3H, CH3), 6.19–7.69 (9H, aromatic and NH2 groups). 13C-NMR 100 MHz, DMSO) δ, ppm: 55.4 (O—CH3), 96.0–159.8 (C atoms of aromatic rings)
Methyl and aromatic H atoms were placed in idealized positions, with bond lengths fixed to 0.96 and 0.93 Å, respectively. Isotropic displacement parameters for these H atoms were calculated as Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(carrier C) in the case of the methyl group, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier C) otherwise. Amine H atoms H1A and H1B were found in a difference map and refined isotropically, with free coordinates.

Diazonium ions are present in solutions such as benzenediazonium chloride solution. They contain an -N2+ group. For example in the case of benzenediazonium chloride, this is attached to a benzene ring. The most important application area of these compounds is organic synthesis of azo dyes (Patai, 1978; Hunger et al., 2005). Diazenyl compounds characterized by having a diazo group (—N═N—) commonly adopt the trans configuration in the ground state. We have previously reported the synthesis of Hg(II) and Cd(II) complexes with [1,3-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)]triazene (Rofouei, Hematyar, Ghoulipour & Gharamaleki, 2009; Rofouei, Melardi, Khalili, Ghaydari & Barkhi, 2009).
When attempting to prepare an asymmetric triazene compound using p-chloroaniline and m-anizidine, we instead obtained the title diazo compound, C13H12ClN3O (Fig. 1). The molecule adopts the trans configuration and the C1—N3—N2—C7 dihedral angle is 175.50 (10)°. The C10—N1, C7—N2 and C1—N3 bond lengths are 1.3657 (19), 1.3985 (16) and 1.4206 (17) Å, respectively, consistent with single and double bonds between related C and N atoms. In the crystal lattice of the title compound, the molecules are linked into chain-like polymers along the c crystallographic axis, with C(6) graph set, through N1—H1A···O hydrogen bonds with D···A separations of 3.222 (2) Å (Fig. 2). There is also C12—H12···N3 non-classic hydrogen bonds with D···A distance of 3.379 (2) Å. The unit cell packing diagram of the title compound is shown in Fig. 3.
