In the title compound, C13H12BrN3O4, the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 30.6 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains parallel to [001] by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is further consolidated by π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.482 (2) Å].

The synthesis of the title compounds was acheived by reacting metronidazole (171 mg, 1.0 mmole) with 2-bromobenzoic acid (1.2 equiv.) in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (245 mg, 1.2 mmole) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.35 mmole) in dichloromethane (10 ml) at room temperature for 40–45 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction was quenched with 20 ml HCl (0.5 M) and then basified with sat. NaHCO3. It was extracted with dichloromethane and evaporated in vaccuo to obtain a crude product. The crude product was purified by using silica gel
(EtOAc: hexane, 3.0: 7.0 to 7.0: 3.0) which afforded the title compound in 85% yield. Recrystallization by the slow evaporation of a dichloromethane solution of the title compound afforded pure crystals found suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.H atoms on methyl, methylene and methine were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.96, 0.97 and 0.93 Å respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H)= 1.2Ueq(CH and CH2) and 1.5Ueq(CH3). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups.
The title compound is an ester derivative of a broad spectrum antibiotic, metronidazole, commonly known as flagyl. In continuation of our research (Yousuf et al., 2012) we have now synthesized the title compound to evaluate its antiglycation potential. In this article, we report the synthesis and
of the title compound.The title compound (Fig. 1) is structurally similar to its 4-flouro analogue (Yousuf et al., 2012). The mean planes of the benzene (C1–C6) and imidazole (C10—C12/N1—N2) rings are inclined at 30.6 (2)° with respect to each other. In the π–π interaction between centroids of imidazole rings lying about inversion centers (Cg···Cg distance = 3.482 (2) Å).
the molecules are linked to form chains via C8—H8A···O4 intermolecular interactions along the c-axis (Fig. 2 and Tab. 1). The Crystal packing is further strengthened by a significantFor background information and the
of the 4-flouro analogue of the title compound, see: Yousuf et al. (2012).Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2000); cell

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. |

The title compound is an ester derivative of a broad spectrum antibiotic, metronidazole, commonly known as flagyl. In continuation of our research (Yousuf et al., 2012) we have now synthesized the title compound to evaluate its antiglycation potential. In this article, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.
The title compound (Fig. 1) is structurally similar to its 4-flouro analogue (Yousuf et al., 2012). The mean planes of the benzene (C1–C6) and imidazole (C10—C12/N1—N2) rings are inclined at 30.6 (2)° with respect to each other. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked to form chains via C8—H8A···O4 intermolecular interactions along the c-axis (Fig. 2 and Tab. 1). The Crystal packing is further strengthened by a significant π–π interaction between centroids of imidazole rings lying about inversion centers (Cg···Cg distance = 3.482 (2) Å).
