In the title compound, C19H21ClN2O2, the aromatic rings are approximately perpendicular to each other, subtending a dihedral angle of 87.7 (1)°. In the crystal, the 4-nitrophenyl groups of pairs of neighbouring molecules are parallel and oriented head-to-tail with a ring centroid–centroid distance of 3.9247 (12) Å, leading to a π–π interaction between the pair. The faces of each phenyl ring of the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl group interact with two different groups, viz. a chloro group of an adjacent molecule on one side and the edge of the 4-nitrophenyl ring of a second molecule on the other side.

Synthesis of N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4-nitrobenzimidoyl chloride (I)
An oven dried two necked 100 ml flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, septum-capped reflux condenser and septum was flushed with N2 and phosphorus pentachloride (4.42 g, 21 mmol) and dry toluene (40 ml) were added. The mixture was stirred for 5 min then N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4-nitrobenzamide (6.90 g, 21 mmol) was quickly added to the flask under a fast stream of N2, and the septum replaced by a stopper. The mixture was heated to reflux for 2 h, whereupon it became homogeneous and gas evolution was observed. Phosphorus oxychloride and toluene were removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was quickly extracted with hot diethyl ether (3 × 80 ml). The diethyl ether washings were evaporated under a fast stream of N2 overnight, during which process bright yellow prisms of N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4-nitrobenzimidoyl chloride (6.93 g, 95%) separated; m.p. 144–146 °C.

H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å) and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C), allowing for
of the methyl groups about the C—C bond.Data collection: COLLECT (Nonius, 2000); cell

Experimental. 1H (400 MHz; CDCl3) δ: 8.25 (2 H, d, J = 8.4 Hz), 8.17 (2 H, d, J = 8.4 Hz), 7.05–7.12 (2 H, m), 6.97–7.04 (1 H, m), 2.66 (2 H, app. sept, J = 6.9 Hz), 1.11 (6 H, d, J = 6.6 Hz), 1.05 (6 H, d, J = 6.6 Hz) – the two 6 H doublets coalesced at 50 °C; 13C (125 MHz; CDCl3) δ: 149.9 (s), 143.4 (s), 141.8 (s), 140.1 (s), 136.3 (s), 130.3 (d), 125.5 (d), 123.7 (d), 123.3 (d), 28.8 (d), 23.3 (q), 22.8 (q); vmax (thin film/cm-1): 3017, 2966, 2929, 2871, 1662, 1605, 1529, 1349, 1216, 1168, 1461. |
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. |

The title compound I, a useful synthetic intermediate, was synthesized in good yield by the reaction of N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4-nitrobenzamide with phosphorus pentachloride. Imidoyl chlorides are useful reactive intermediates in syntheses of ketones from trialkylcyanoborates (Pelter et al., 1975), of highly substituted 2-imidazolines via a ring-expansion reaction with aziridines (Kuszpit et al., 2011), and by in situ reaction with pyridine-1-oxides to give 2-aminopyridine amides (Manley et al., 2002). They have also been used as precursors to α-iminoamides (Cunico et al., 2005), isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones via a palladium-catalyzed reaction with diethyl(2-iodoaryl)malonates (Zheng et al., 2008), and 1,3-oxathiolanones and benzoxathianones by reaction with mercaptocarboxylic acids (Raussukana et al., 2006). The X-ray crystal structure of N-(diethylaminothiocarbonyl)ferrocenecarbimidoyl chloride has been reported (Seidelmann et al., 1998).
In the molecule (Fig. 1), the aromatic rings of the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl and 4-nitrophenyl groups are approximately perpendicular to each other; the dihedral angle between the least-squares planes through the rings is 87.7 (1)°. The molecule has no strong hydrogen bond donor and the crystal structure is shown in Figure 2. The 4-nitrophenyl groups of neighboring molecules are parallel and oriented head-to-tail with a ring centroid-centroid distance of 3.9247 (12) Å, leading to a π–π interaction (Fig. 3). One face of the phenyl ring of the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl group interacts with the chloro group of an adjacent molecule (C7—Cl1···Cg2) and the other face of the same ring interacts with the edge of the 4-nitrophenyl ring of a second molecule (C6—H6···Cg2; Fig. 4); Cg2 is the centroid of the C8–C13 ring. Another interaction, C16—H16B···Cg1, is also observed; Cg1 is the centroid of the C1–C6 ring.
