The title phenytoin analog 2-(2,5-dioxo-4,4-di­phenyl­imidazolidin-1-yl)-N-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)acetamide, C23H18FN3O3, was synthesized by alkyl­ation of phenytoin with 2-chloro-N-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)acetamide under phase-transfer catalysis conditions and crystallized as colorless blocks in the monoclinic space group P21/c. In the mol­ecular structure, the imidazolidine ring shows a slight departure from planarity, adopting a twist conformation, while the two phenyl substituents are markedly inclined to the mean plane of the heterocyclic ring. The N-substituted 4-fluoro­phenyl­acetamide fragment projects away from the imidazolidine core, with its conformation partly consolidated by an intra­molecular C—H⋯O contact. In the crystal packing, pairs of inversion-related mol­ecules are linked through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form dimers, which are further connected by additional N—H⋯O inter­actions into layers extending parallel to the bc plane. These layers stack along the a-axis direction through normal van der Waals contacts. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to qu­antify the inter­molecular inter­actions, showing that H⋯H contacts give the largest contribution to the crystal packing, followed by C⋯H/H⋯C and O⋯H/H⋯O contacts, the latter being associated with the classical N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. F⋯H/H⋯F inter­actions also contribute to the packing, mainly through contacts between adjacent mol­ecular layers.

1. Chemical context

Imidazolidine is a five-membered, saturated, nonplanar, nona­romatic heterocycle with two nitro­gen atoms at the 1,3-positions. Imidazolidinone derivatives have attracted considerable attention due to their pharmacological and biological activities (Wadghane et al., 2023View full citation). Imidazolidinones, including hydantoins, have been used as drugs such as phenytoin which is used in the treatment of epilepsy, anti­biotic nitro­furan­toin and anti­cancer drugs (apalutamide, nilutamide and enzalutamide), which are used to treat prostate cancer. Moreover, imidazolidinone derivatives exhibit various pharmacological activities such as anti­tumor (Elbadawi et al., 2022View full citation), anti­depressant (Wessels et al., 1980View full citation), anti­convulsant (Murasawa et al., 2012View full citation), anti­viral (Khodair, 2002View full citation), anti­microbial (Kania et al., 2022View full citation) and anti-inflammatory (El-Araby et al., 2012View full citation). Similarly, a wide variety of compounds, including N-aryl­acetamides, have been reported to act as potential anti­diabetic agents (Moghimi et al., 2020View full citation) and as anti­oxidant agents (Missioui et al., 2021View full citation). In a continuation of our research on imidazolidinone derivatives (Guerrab et al., 2025View full citation; El Moutaouakil Ala Allah et al., 2025View full citation), we report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound C23H18FN3O3 (3) (Fig. 1[link]) via an alkyl­ation of phenytoin with 2-chloro-N-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)acetamide under phase-transfer catalysis conditions. Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed to analyze the inter­molecular inter­actions.

2. Structural commentary

In the title mol­ecule (3), the imidazolidine ring deviates modestly from planarity (r.m.s. deviation = 0.038 Å) and a puckering analysis (Cremer & Pople, 1975View full citation) gave the parameters Q(2) = 0.0852 (12) Å and φ(2) = 347.6 (8)°. The conformation of the ring is best described as a twist on C3—N1. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the imidazolidine ring and those of the C4–C9 and the C10–C15 phenyl rings are 71.84 (7) and 54.44 (7)°, respectively. The substituent on N2 extends out from the mean plane of the imidazolidine ring. More precisely, the dihedral angle between the mean plane of the ring and that defined by N2, C16, C17 and O3 is 72.64 (8)° while the angle between the latter plane and that defined by O3, C17, N3 and C18 is 10.42 (8)°. Finally, the dihedral angle between the plane defined by O3, C17, N3 and C18 and the mean plane of the C18–C23 ring is 17.74 (8)°. The orientation of the C18–C23 ring with respect to the acetamide moiety is due, in part, to the intra­molecular C19—H19⋯O3 hydrogen bond (Table 1[link] and Fig. 1[link]). The N1—C2 and N1—C3 bond distances are 1.338 (2) and 1.459 (1) Å, respectively, while the N2—C1 and N2—C2 distances are 1.372 (2) and 1.402 (2) Å, respectively, indicating involvement of the lone pairs of both nitro­gen atoms in N→C π-bonding. Clearly, this is clearly more observed for N1 than it is for N2.

3. Supra­molecular features

In the crystal, inversion dimers are formed by pair-wise N1—H1N⋯O2ii hydrogen bonds (Table 1[link]) and these are connected into layers of mol­ecules parallel to the bc plane by N3—H3N⋯O3i hydrogen bonds (Table 1[link] and Fig. 2[link]). The layers pack along the a-axis direction with normal van der Waals contacts between layers.

4. Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, updated to April 2026; Groom et al., 2016View full citation) with the search fragment shown in Fig. 3[link]a (R = any atom or group) yielded eighteen hits, which are listed in Table 2[link], together with the most salient geometrical parameters. These are the dihedral angles between the imidazolidine ring and the attached phenyl groups and the torsion angle associated with the substituent on the ring N atom. In most instances, the imidazolidine ring is planar within experimental error but in CSD refcode JALGEL (Ramli et al., 2017View full citation) and in one of the two independent mol­ecules in GITSOT (Mague et al., 2014View full citation), GITSOT01 (Alanazi et al., 2013View full citation) and QENBOD (Guerrab et al., 2018cView full citation), these rings are sufficiently non-planar that Cremer–Pople puckering parameters can be obtained. These are Q(2) = 0.0712 (16) Å and φ(2) = 279.3 (13)° in JALGEL, Q(2) = 0.0837 (3) Å and φ(2) = 156 (3)° in GITSOT, Q(2) = 0.080 (2) Å and φ(2) = 331.1 (11)° in GITSOT01 and Q(2) = 0.0829 (19) Å and φ(2) = 76.6 (13)° in QENBOD. The extent of puckering as measured by Q(2) is about the same for 3 as it is for the others cited above. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the imidazolidine ring and those of the attached phenyl rings (Table 2[link]) vary widely and are likely determined by a combination of intra­molecular inter­actions and packing considerations. The torsion angle associated with the `root' of the –CH2R substituent (Fig. 3[link]b and Table 2[link]), while having a fairly large range because of the different sizes of the R group, is, nevertheless, much closer to 90° than to 0°, indicating that the group is well out of the plane of the imidazolidine ring and thus is syn to one of the phenyl groups (C in Fig. 3[link]a) attached to that ring.

5. Hirshfeld surface analysis

The Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out with CrystalExplorer (Spackman et al., 2021View full citation); descriptions and inter­pretations of the plots obtained have been published previously (Tan et al., 2019View full citation). Fig. 4[link] presents the dnorm surface for 3 together with several neighboring mol­ecules viewed along the a-axis direction, thus giving a rendition comparable to that in Fig. 2[link]. The several N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming the layer penetrate the surface at the red spots. The two-dimensional fingerprint plots are shown in Fig. 5[link] with all inter­molecular inter­actions shown in Fig. 5[link]a, while delineations into specific types of contacts appear in Fig. 5[link]b–e. As is frequently the case, the H⋯H contacts comprise the largest fraction of the inter­molecular inter­actions (39.7%) since the periphery of the mol­ecule consists of hydrogen atoms. However, it is a smaller fraction than in many other cases, since the mol­ecule is not globular in shape. It is somewhat surprising that the C⋯H/H⋯C inter­actions show a quite high contribution (23.2%), as there are no significant C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions; however, perusal of the inter­molecular C⋯H distances shows that there are eleven which are less than, or only slightly larger than, the sum of their van der Waals radii. The O⋯H/H⋯O contacts appear as a pair of sharp spikes at de + di ≃ 1.9 Å and can be attributed to the N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The only other significant contribution comes from the F⋯H/H⋯F contacts (Fig. 5[link]e), which appear as two pairs of very broad peaks indicating a moderate range of F⋯H distances. These result from inter­actions between layers of mol­ecules, since the F atoms extend outward from the top and bottom of the layers. All other atom⋯atom contacts contribute less than 4% each.

6. Synthesis and crystallization

The reaction scheme is shown in Fig. 6[link]. Phenytoin (0.5 g, 1.98 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.27 g, 1.95 mmol) were dissolved in di­methyl­formamide (10 mL), to which was added 2-chloro-N-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)acetamide (1.98 mmol) along with a catalytic amount of TBAB (tributyl ammonium bromide). Under reflux, the reaction was stirred for 2 h at 355 K. When the starting reagents had reacted completely, distilled water (100 ml) was added. The product precipitated in solid form, was filtered, dried and recrystallized from ethanol solution to afford colorless blocks.

7. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3[link]. The carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined isotropically using the riding model, with C—H distances ranging from 0.95 to 0.99 Å and Uiso(H) set to 1.2 Ueq(C). The N-bound hydrogen atoms H1N and H3N were located in difference-Fourier maps and refined freely.

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 > 2sigma(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. H-atoms attached to carbon were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.95 - 0.99 Å) and were included as riding contributions with isotropic displacement parameters 1.2 - 1.5 times those of the attached atoms. Those attached to nitrogen were placed in locations derived from a difference map and refined with DFIX 0.91 0.01 instructions
