In the title compound, C10H11N3O2, the nitro group is essentially coplanar with the aromatic ring [dihedral angle = 3.4 (3)°] and forms an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond with the amine group. In the crystal, weak aromatic C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules. Weak aromatic ring ππ inter­actions [minimum ring centroid–centroid separation = 3.9841 (16) Å] are also present.

Comment top

We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound C10H11N3O2. In this molecule (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles (Allen et al., 1987) are within normal ranges. The nitro group is essentially coplanar with the aromatic ring forming a dihedral angle of 3.4 (3)° with the ring. The amine H atom forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with a nitro O-atom acceptor (O2) (Table 1). In the crystal structure, intermolecular aromatic C—H···O and C—H···N hydrogen bonds link the molecules (Fig. 2) while also present are weak aromatic ring ππ interactions [minimum ring centroid separation, 3.9841 (16) Å].

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized using the procedure of (Ates-Alagoz & Buyukbingol, 2001). 4-Chloro-3-nitrobenzonitrile (4.2 g, 0.023 mol) was refluxed in 25 ml of t-propylamine and 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran for 4 h. The solvent was then evaporated and water was added to give a precipitate which was collected by filtration and washed with cold ethanol (2 × 15 ml) to afford the yellow solid (4.2 g, 89%). The pure title compound was obtained by crystallizing from ethanol, with crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction obtained by slow room-temperature evaporation of an ethanol solution.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic), 0.97 Å (methylene) or 0.96 Å (methyl) and N—H = 0.86 Å, an were allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N, aromatic or methylene C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Special details top

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.
