In the title compound, C11H8ClN3O4, the dihedral angle between benzene and isoxazole rings is 9.92 (1) °. The nitro group is almost coplanar with the benzene ring with an O—N—C—C torsion angle of 8.4 (3)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond, closing a six-membered ring.

A solution of 0.05 mol of 5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid chloride (7.3 g) in 20 ml of acetonitrile was added dropwise, while stirring, to 0.1 mol of 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline (17.2 g), dissolved in 150 ml of acetonitrile, at room temperature. After stirring for 40 more minutes, the precipitated 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline hydrochloride was filtered off and washed with 100 ml portions of acetonitrile, and the combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure. 9.6 g (65% of theory) of yellow crytalline 5-methyl-N-(4-Chloro-2-nitrophenyl)isoxazole-4-carboxamide were thus obtained. Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of toluene solution.
Carbon- and nitrogen-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C or N atoms with C—H = 0.96 (methyl), 0.97 (methylene) and N—H = 0.86 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N). The positions of methyl hydrogens were optimized rotationally with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C).
Leflunomide is one of the most effective isoxazole-containing disease-modifying drugs for treating rheumatoid arthritis(Shaw et al., 2011; Schattenkirchner, 2000). Many leflunomide analogs have been synthesized and exhibit potent immunomodulating effect (Huang, et al., 2003). The title compound, 5-methyl-N-(4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)isoxazole-4-carboxamide (I), was synthesized as a novel and potent immunomodulating leflunomide analog. We report herein its
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The nitro group is approximately coplanar with the benzene ring, as indicated by the torsion angle O1—N1—C5—C4 of 8.4 (3)°. The amide group is also coplanar with the benzene and isoxazole rings [torsion angles N2—C7—C8—C9 and C7—N2—C6—C1 are -8.9 (4) and -3.1 (4)°], respectively. The is stabilized by an intra-molecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1). In the crystal, infinite zigzag chain are formed via short inter-molecular Cl···O contacts of 3.089 (3) Å.For applications of leflunomide [systematic name: 5-methyl-N-[4-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-isoxazole-4-carboxamide] in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, see: Shaw et al.

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. |

Leflunomide is one of the most effective isoxazole-containing disease-modifying drugs for treating rheumatoid arthritis(Shaw et al., 2011; Schattenkirchner, 2000). Many leflunomide analogs have been synthesized and exhibit potent immunomodulating effect (Huang, et al., 2003). The title compound, 5-methyl-N-(4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)isoxazole-4-carboxamide (I), was synthesized as a novel and potent immunomodulating leflunomide analog. We report herein its crystal structure. The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The nitro group is approximately coplanar with the benzene ring, as indicated by the torsion angle O1—N1—C5—C4 of 8.4 (3)°. The amide group is also coplanar with the benzene and isoxazole rings [torsion angles N2—C7—C8—C9 and C7—N2—C6—C1 are -8.9 (4) and -3.1 (4)°], respectively. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1). In the crystal, infinite zigzag chain are formed via short inter-molecular Cl···O contacts of 3.089 (3) Å.
