The title compound, C14H14N4O3, exhibits a trans geometry about the N=N double bond in the triazene unit. The molecule is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.044 Å for all non-H atoms). An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of dimers which are, in turn, connected to each other by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains of R22(8) graph-set motif.

The compound was prepared by the following method: A 100 ml flask was charged with 10 g of ice and 15 ml of water and then cooled to 273 k in an ice-bath. To this was added 2 mmol (0.344 g) of 3-nitroaniline and 2 mmol of hydrochloric acid (36.5%) and 2 ml of water. To thissolution was then added a solution containing NaNO2 (2 mmol, 0.16 g) in 2 ml of water during a 15 min period. After mixing for 15 min, the obtained solution was added to a solution of 2 mmol (0.261 ml) of o-phenetidin and 2 ml of methanol and 2 ml of water.
After that a solution containing 36 mmol (2.95 g) of sodium acetate in 10 ml of water was added. After mixing for 24 h the orange product was filtered off and dissolved in DMSO. Recrystallization from DMSO afforded the product as an orange crystalline material. 1H NMR (300MHZ, DMSO): 1.37(6H, CH3), 4.12(4H, CH2), 6.98–8.07 (8H, aromatic), 12.93(1H, NH).

Aryl ═N—NR]- ligands has increased greatly in the past few years, because of their potential reactivity in relation to their several coordination modes (Vrieze et al., 1987). We have recently reported the synthesis and characterization of the two molecules 1,3-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)triazene (Rofouei, et al., 2006) and 1,3-bis(2-cyanophenyl)triazene (Melardi, et al., 2008).
have been studied for over 130 years for their interesting structural, anticancer, and reactivity properties. The first extensive investigation of the coordination chemistry of a triazene derivative (1,3 diphenyltriazene) was carried out in 1887 by Meldola (Meldola et al., 1888). In the intervening years, numerous transition metal triazenide compounds have been studied (Leman et al., 1993). Triazene compounds characterized by having a diazoamino group commonly adopt a trans configuration in the ground state (Chen et al., 2002). The study of transition metal complexes containing 1,3-diaryltriazenide [RNThe title compound, C14H14N4O3, is a related triazene compound. It exhibits a trans stereo chemistry of the N═N double bond, and the C9—N3—N2—N1 and C1—N1—N2—N3 torsion angles are -179.23 (9) and 177.91 (10)°, respectively which indicates the molecule is planar. The N1—N2 and N2—N3 bond distances are 1.3295 (13) and 1.2550 (14) Å, respectively, which indicates the presence of distinct single and double bonds between the nitrogen atoms. These values are in good agreement with the reported data for N—N and N═N bond distances (Hematyar, et al., 2008; Payehghadr, et al. 2007). For example, in 1,3-bis(2-cyanophenyl)triazene, the N—N and N═N bond distances are 1.335 (5) and 1.289 (5) Å (Melardi, et al., 2008). Individual molecules are mostly planar with an r.m.s. deviation from planarity of 0.044 Å for all non-hydrogen atoms. Every molecule in the molecular structure (Fig. 1) is connected to other unit by two distinct C—H···N hydrogen bonds to form dimers. The resultant dimers are then connected to each other by C—H···O hydrogen bonds to form infinite chains with R22(8) graph-set motifs (Grell et al., 2002)) (Fig. 2). diagram of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 3.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

Aryl triazenes have been studied for over 130 years for their interesting structural, anticancer, and reactivity properties. The first extensive investigation of the coordination chemistry of a triazene derivative (1,3 diphenyltriazene) was carried out in 1887 by Meldola (Meldola et al., 1888). In the intervening years, numerous transition metal triazenide compounds have been studied (Leman et al., 1993). Triazene compounds characterized by having a diazoamino group commonly adopt a trans configuration in the ground state (Chen et al., 2002). The study of transition metal complexes containing 1,3-diaryltriazenide [RN═N—NR]- ligands has increased greatly in the past few years, because of their potential reactivity in relation to their several coordination modes (Vrieze et al., 1987). We have recently reported the synthesis and characterization of the two molecules 1,3-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)triazene (Rofouei, et al., 2006) and 1,3-bis(2-cyanophenyl)triazene (Melardi, et al., 2008).
The title compound, C14H14N4O3, is a related triazene compound. It exhibits a trans stereo chemistry of the N═N double bond, and the C9—N3—N2—N1 and C1—N1—N2—N3 torsion angles are -179.23 (9) and 177.91 (10)°, respectively which indicates the molecule is planar. The N1—N2 and N2—N3 bond distances are 1.3295 (13) and 1.2550 (14) Å, respectively, which indicates the presence of distinct single and double bonds between the nitrogen atoms. These values are in good agreement with the reported data for N—N and N═N bond distances (Hematyar, et al., 2008; Payehghadr, et al. 2007). For example, in 1,3-bis(2-cyanophenyl)triazene, the N—N and N═N bond distances are 1.335 (5) and 1.289 (5) Å (Melardi, et al., 2008). Individual molecules are mostly planar with an r.m.s. deviation from planarity of 0.044 Å for all non-hydrogen atoms. Every molecule in the molecular structure (Fig. 1) is connected to other unit by two distinct C—H···N hydrogen bonds to form dimers. The resultant dimers are then connected to each other by C—H···O hydrogen bonds to form infinite chains with R22(8) graph-set motifs (Grell et al., 2002)) (Fig. 2). Unit cell diagram of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 3.
