In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₈N₄O₄, the 1H-imidazole ring forms a dihedral angle of 67.12 (8)° with the benzene ring. An S(6) ring motif is formed via an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, neighbouring molecules are linked by a pair of intermolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming an inversion dimer. The dimers are further linked by a pair of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of chain along [021]. A C—H⋯π interaction involving the centroid of the benzene ring is also observed between the chains.

Comment top

Nitrophenyleneamine is an important class of compounds in organic synthetic chemistry. They are most of the time used to synthesize phenylenediamines by reducing the nitro (NO₂) group to amine (NH₂). Phenylenediamines themselves are then used as composition in making dyes (Sabelle, 2006), metallomesogens (Glebowska et al., 2009) as well as ligand precursors. Condensation of substituted o-phenylenediamine with various diketones is then used in the preparation of a variety of pharmaceuticals (Remusat et al., 2004).

In the title compound (Fig. 1), the 1H-imidazole (C1/C2/N3/C3/N2) is almost planar with a maximum deviation of 0.003 (2) Å at atom C3 and it forms a dihedral angle of 67.12 (8)° with the benzene ring (C7–C12). An S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) is formed via an intramolecular N1—H1N1···O2 hydrogen bond (Table 1).

In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), pairs of intermolecular N1—H1N1···N3 and C15—H15A···O1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the neighbouring molecules to form dimers, leading to the formation of chains along the [021]. The crystal packing is further stabilized by a C—H···π interaction (Table 1), involving the centroid of the benzene ring (Cg1).

Experimental top

Ethyl-4-fluro-3-nitro benzoate (4.6 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) was added into the solution of 3-(1H-imidazole-1yl)propane-1-amine (7.0 mmol) and N, N-diisopropylethylamine (5.6 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, evidenced by TLC analysis. The reaction mixture was washed with water (10 mL × 2) and 10% Na₂CO₃ (10 ml × 2). The dichloromethane layer was collected and dried over Na₂SO₄. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford white-colored crystals.

Special details top

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.
