The title compound was synthesized according to the published literature (Al-Hiari et al., 2006) and it has been recrystallized from hot ethanol to produce a yellow crystalline material
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 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 H atom was located from difference Fourier syntheses and its position and isotropic displacement parameter refined freely.
Fluoroquinolone derivatives have been widely investigated as drugs against bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacine, one derivative of fluoroquinolone, represents one of the most effective antiinfectious drugs currently in clinical use (Li et al., 2000; Mitscher 2005). In the present paper, we describe the title compound, I, which has been synthesized from 2,4,-di chloro-5-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid according to the published literature (Al-Hiari et al., 2006) and (Al-Qawasmeh et al., 2009). The title compound is an important synthetic intermediate for the synthesis of the analogues of the antimicrobial drug ciprofloxcaine. The title molecule crystallizes in the centrosymmetric triclinic
P-1. In the of (I), the molecules are held together by C—H···O [3.065 (5)-3.537 (5) Å] and C—H···Cl [3.431 (5)-3.735 (4) Å] (Table 1).For the biological activities of fluoroquinolone derivatives, see: Li et al. (2000); Mitscher (2005). For the synthesis of the title compound, see: Al-Qawasmeh et al. (2009); Al-Hiari et al. (2006). [ok as edited?]

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

Fluoroquinolone derivatives have been widely investigated as drugs against bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacine, one derivative of fluoroquinolone, represents one of the most effective antiinfectious drugs currently in clinical use (Li et al., 2000; Mitscher 2005). In the present paper, we describe the title compound, I, which has been synthesized from 2,4,-di chloro-5-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid according to the published literature (Al-Hiari et al., 2006) and (Al-Qawasmeh et al., 2009). The title compound is an important synthetic intermediate for the synthesis of the analogues of the antimicrobial drug ciprofloxcaine. The title molecule crystallizes in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P-1. In the crystal structure of (I), the molecules are held together by C—H···O [3.065 (5)-3.537 (5) Å] and C—H···Cl [3.431 (5)-3.735 (4) Å] (Table 1).
