The 5H2Cl2N2O2, consists of two crystallographically independent molecules. The pyridine ring in each molecule is essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.004 (4) and 0.007 (4) Å. Short Cl⋯O [3.09 (3) and 3.13 (4) Å] and Cl⋯Cl [3.38 (12) Å] contacts were observed. No significant intermolecular interactions were observed in the crystal packing.

2,6-Dichloropyridine (5 g, 0.033 mol) was added lotwise to mixture of concentrated H2SO4 (25 ml) and fuming nitric acid (10 ml) at 0 °C. After the addition, the reaction mixture was heated to 65 °C for 2 h. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and quenched with ice water. The solid that separated out was filtered and dried under vacuum. The crude product was purified by
using silica gel 60–120 mesh size and petroleum ether: ethyl acetate as to afford title compound as a pale yellow solid. Yield: 3.0 g, 46.0%. M.p.: 333–338 K (Johnson et al., 1967).All H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.93 Å] and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). There is no pseudo-symmetry in the crystal structure.

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. |

Nitropyridine nucleus played a pivotal role in the development of different medicinal agents and in the field of agrochemicals (Davis et al., 1996). It is seen from the current literature that pyridine derivatives have been developed and used as insecticidal agents (Vacher et al., 1998). Nitrated pyridines and their derivatives are important intermediates in synthesis of heterocyclic compounds in dyes and pharmaceutical products (Olah et al., 1980). Fused heterocycles containing nitropyridine systems have been associated with several biological and medicinal activities including antiolytic (Olah et al., 1980), antiviral and anti-inflammatory (Bare et al., 1989) profiles.
The asymmetric unit of the tittle compound (Fig. 1), consists of two crystallographically independent molecules A and B. The pyridine rings (N1/C1–C5) for molecules A and B are essentially planar with maximum deviations of 0.004 (4) Å at atom C1A and 0.007 (4) Å at atom C3B, respectively. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. In addition, short Cl···O [Cl1A···O2A (1 - x, -1/2 + y, 1/2 - z) = 3.093 (3) Å and Cl2A···O2A (1 - x, 2 - y, -z) = 3.132 (4) Å] and Cl···Cl [Cl2A···Cl2A (1 - x, 2 - y, -z) = 3.3839 (12) Å] contacts were observed.
The crystal packing is shown in Fig. 2. No significant intermolecular interactions were observed in the crystal packing.
