In the title compound, C11H8ClN3O2, the presence of intra­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯N inter­actions help to establish an almost planar mol­ecule [dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings = 9.89 (8)° and r.m.s. deviation for all 17 non-H atoms = 0.120 Å]. Supra­molecular tapes feature in the crystal packing whereby dimeric aggregates sustained by pairs of C—H⋯O inter­actions are connected by ππ inter­actions occurring between translationally related pyridine rings and between translationally related benzene rings along the b axis [centroid–centroid distance = length of b axis = 3.8032 (4) Å].

Comment top

In connection with synthetic and structural studies of nitro-pyridine/pyrimidine derivatives (Aznan Akhmad et al., 2010), the title compound, (I), was investigated. A small twist is evident in (I), Fig. 1, as seen in the value of the dihedral angle between the pyridyl and benzene rings of 9.89 (8) Å. The nitro group is co-planar with the pyridyl ring to which it is connected: the O1—N3—C2—C1 torsion angle is 5.0 (2)°. The observed conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond as well as a C—H···N interaction, Table 1. Overall, the molecule is close to planar with the r.m.s. deviation for all 17 non-hydrogen atoms being 0.120 Å.

In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related molecules are connected into dimeric aggregates via C—H···O interactions, Table 1. These are connected into a supramolecular tape along the b axis by ππ interactions between translationally related pyridyl rings and between translationally related benzene rings with the centroid···centroid separation corresponding to the length of the b axis, i.e. 3.8032 (4) Å, Fig. 2. The columns are connected by weak C—H···Cl [closest contact: C5—H5···Cl1i = 3.97 Å, C5···Cl1i = 3.6112 (19) Å and angle at H5 = 124° for i: 1/2 - x, 3/2 - y, 1 - z] and Cl···Cl [Cl1···Cl1ii = 3.4366 (7) Å for ii: 1/2 - x, -1/2 + y, 1/2 - z] contacts. A view of the unit-cell contents is given in Fig. 3.

Experimental top

2-Chloro-3-nitro-pyridine (0.906 g, 0.0057 mol) and p-chloroaniline (0.730 g, 0.0057 mol) were refluxed in ethanol (5 ml) for 4 h at 385 K. After cooling the mixture, the residue was dissolved in a minimum volume of water (10 ml) and extracted with ether (3 x 10 ml). The ethereal layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation gave a red solid and recrystallization from its diethyl ether solution yielded red-brown prisms of (I) after a few days.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions (C—H 0.95 Å) and were treated as riding on their parent carbon atoms, with U(H) set to 1.2 times Ueq(C). The amine-H atom was refined with N—H = 0.86±0.01 Å with refined Uiso.

Refinement. Refinement of F^2^ against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The threshold expression of F^2^ > 2σ(F^2^) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
