To a dry THF solution of 4,4'-dibromo-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-amine (3.27 g, 10 mmol) and triethylamine (3 ml) was added drop wise a dry THF solution (40 ml) of benzoyl chloride at 273 K. After stirring at room temperature for 20 h, the solution was poured into water (80 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (2 × 50 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. This gave white solid which was further recrystallized with dichloromethane-hexanes [Yield 3.0 g (70%); M.p. 443–445 K]. HRMS calcd. for C19H13Br2NO [M]+ m/z 428.9364 found 428.9363. Spectroscopic data for the title compound is available in the archived CIF.
H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms: N—H = 0.86 Å and C—H = 0.93 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Spectroscopic data for the title compound: IR (νN—H) 3399 cm-1, 1567 cm-1, (νC═O) 1666 cm-1, 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ: 8.74 (d, J = 1.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.85 (s, 1H), 7.60 (dd, J = 6.5, 2.0 Hz, 2 H), 7.59–7.61 (m, 2 H), 7.52–7.55 (m, 1 H), 7.42–7.45 (m, 2 H), 7.35 (d, J = 1.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.30 (dd, J = 6.5, 2.0 Hz, 2 H), 7.11 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H); 13C NMR (CDCl3, 125 MHz) δ 165.1, 136.0, 135.8, 134.1, 133.7, 32.6, 131.1, 130.8, 130.2, 130.1, 129.0, 128.5, 127.7, 126.8, 124.6, 122.9, 122.7. |
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. |

Biphenyl aniline, a subclass of biaryl compounds, has been recognized as a privileged structure in drug discovery. Its derivatives have been pursued as anti–phlogistic, analgesic, anti–obesity, and anti–tumor agents (Zhu et al., 2008). Amide substituted biphenyl derivatives are commonly used to develop antiparasitic agents for the treatment of African sleeping sickness disease (Libman & Slack, 1951; Mandadapu et al., 2009; Youn & Bihn, 2009; Yulan et al., 2010). Benzamides are recognized as one of the important bioactive skeletons and exhibit various potent pharmaceutical activities. As part of our studies on the substituent effects on the structures and other aspects of dibromo biphenyl derivatives, 4,4'-Dibromo-2-nitrobiphenyl (Novina et al., 2012), in the present work we report herein on the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.
In the molecular structure of the title compound (Fig. 1), the two benzene rings of the biphenyl group are twisted with respect to each other by 53.59 (14)°, which is similar to to the arrangement [53.52 (14)°] found in 2,5-Bis(bromomethyl)biphenyl (Kuś et al., 2009), but is somewhat larger than the angle of 45.5 (2)° found in 3,3',5,5'-Tetranitrobiphenyl (Hammond et al., 2009). The amide unit C1—N1—C13(O1)—C14 is planar [r.m.s deviation = 0.013 Å], and subtends dihedral angles of 12.38 (12)° and 32.34 (11)° respectively to the C1-C6 and C14-C19 phenyl rings. These two aromatic rings are inclined to one another by 23.87 (15)°, while rings C7-C12 and C14-C19 are inclined to one another by 75.89 (15)°. The C13═O1 and C13—N1 bond distances are 1.221 (3) and 1.360 (3) Å, respectively, showing the electron delocalization in the amide fragment. The N—H and C═O bonds in the amide group are anti to each other, similar to that observed in 2-Chloro-N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-benzamide (Gowda et al., 2010), and N-(3,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)benzamide (Li & Cui, 2011). The length of the bond connecting the phenyl rings, 1.489 (4) Å, is close to the standard value of 1.48 Å for a Csp2—Csp2 single bond.
In the crystal, there are no significant interactions and the structure is stabilized by Van der Waals interactions (Fig. 2).
