Supporting information


Comment top

Anthranilamide-based derivatives exhibit interesting biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antimalarial and insecticidal activities (Bharate et al., 2013; Gnamm et al., 2012; Lahm et al., 2005; Norman et al., 1996; Roe et al., 1999). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, 2-amino-6-chloro-N-methylbenzamide, an important organic intermediate in the synthesis of medicines, agricultural chemicals and animal drugs.

In the title compound (Fig. 1) the dihedral angle formed by the benzene ring and the methylamide substituent (r.m.s. deviation 0.0065 Å) is 68.39 (11)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected via N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into layers running parallel to the ab plane.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared according to the literature method (Witt & Bergman, 2000) by stirring isatoic anhydride with aqueous methylamine. Isatoic anhydride was prepared by reaction of anthranilic acid with triphosgene in good yield (Coppola, 1980). The title compound (0.2 g) was dissolved in ethanol (50 ml) at room temperature. Colourless blocks were obtained through slow evaporation after two weeks.

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed at calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å, and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.

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.
