M. Flores-Alamo, R. Meléndrez-Luévano, J. A. Ortiz Márquez, E. Sansinenea Royano and B. M. Cabrera-Vivas

The title compound, C₁₉H₁₅N₃O₂, shows an E conformation of the imine bond. The dihedral angle between the planes of the phenyl rings in the diphenylhydrazine groups is 88.52 (4)°. The 2-nitrobenzene ring shows a torsion angle of 10.17 (8)° with the C=N—N plane. A short intramolecular C—H

O contact occurs. In the crystal, only van der Waals contacts occur between the molecules.

Keywords: crystal structure; hydrazine; hydrogen bonding.

Hydrazides and hydrazones are present in many of the bioactive heterocyclic compounds that are of great interest because of their diverse biological and clinical applications, creating interest in researchers who have synthesized a variety of hydrazide-hydrazones derivatives and screened them for their various biological activities viz anticancer (Sztanke et al. 2007), anti-HIV (Al-Macrosaur et al. 2007), antimycobacterial, anti-inflammatory (Roma et al. 2000), antidiabetic, antimicrobial, as well antimalarial activities (Smalley et al. 2006). In the title compound C₁₉H₁₅N₃O₂, the discrete unit consist of one molecule showing an E configuration with respect to C=N for diphenylhydrazine group opposite to o-nitrophenyl ring (Fig. 1). The dihedral angle for the phenyl rings C1—C6 and C7—C12 is 88.52 (4)° very close to orthogonal form and this value is slightly higher than reported for positional isomer (E)-1-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2,2-diphenylhydrazine (Mendoza et al. 2012). The dihedral angle for ortho-nitrophenyl ring and C=N—N plane is 10.17 (8) °, which evidences the coplanarity between these groups. The imine N2—C13, 1.2871 (15) Å bond distance is typical C=N bond. In the crystal array one intramolecular interaction C13—H13···O1 (2.27 Å) of type hydrogen bond is observed, and in the crystal packing intermolecular contacts of type van der Waals are observed growing along the a, b and c axes, resulting in a complex supramolecular array (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

228 mg (1.24 mmol) diphenylhydrazine were dissolved in ethanol and acetic acid (0.5 ml) was slowly added to this solution while stirring, 300 mg (1.24 mmol) of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde was added drop by drop into the above solution strongly stirring and the resulting mixture was kept at room temperature until it became orange transparent solution. After one and a half hours an orange solution precipitated. The reaction was monitored by TLC, aluminium Alugram Sil G/UV254. The mixture was separated with filtration in vacuo system and the precipitate was washed three times with cold methanol. Recrystallization was performed three times with ethanol, to obtain orange blocks (yield 91%, mp. 133–135°C).

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.
