A solution of 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride in CH2Cl2 was added dropwise to a suspension of 1,4-piperazine in CH2Cl2 at room temperature with stirring. The reaction mixture continued stirring overnight. The white solid was obtained by recrystallization from methanol. Colourless blocks of (I) were grown by natural evaporation of a methanolic solution.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms. The C—H distance for CH group is 0.93 Å and that CH2 group 0.97 Å both with the constraint of Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).
Some amides of piperazines have been reported to exhibit marked activity in inhibiting growth of tubercle bacillus in serum (Pollard & Gray, 1953).
The title compound, C18H16Cl2N2O2, crystallizes with two half molecules in the asymmetric unit (Figs. 1 and 2).
The piperazine rings adopt a chair-conformation and the two chlorobenzene rings are parallel to each due to symmetry.
In the crystal of (I), weak C—H···O interactions (Table 1) and a C—H···π-interaction (C18···Cg1 = 3.812 (3) Å, C18—H18B···Cg1 = 155°) stabilize the structure (Cg1 is the centroid of the C1–C6 ring).

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. |

Some amides of piperazines have been reported to exhibit marked activity in inhibiting growth of tubercle bacillus in serum (Pollard & Gray, 1953).
The title compound, C18H16Cl2N2O2, crystallizes with two half molecules in the asymmetric unit (Figs. 1 and 2).
The piperazine rings adopt a chair-conformation and the two chlorobenzene rings are parallel to each due to symmetry.
In the crystal of (I), weak C—H···O interactions (Table 1) and a C—H···π-interaction (C18···Cg1 = 3.812 (3) Å, C18—H18B···Cg1 = 155°) stabilize the structure (Cg1 is the centroid of the C1–C6 ring).
