To a stirred solution of 1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethanone (1 g, 6.05 mmol) in chloroform (10 ml), bromine (0.97 g, 6.05 mmol) was added at 0–5°C (Fig. 1). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h, poured into ice cold water and layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with water (1 x 10 ml), 10% aq.sodium bicarbonate solution (1 x 10 ml) and brine (1 x 10 ml), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography in silca gel (230–400 mesh) using 0–10% petroleum ether and ethyl acetate as the elutant. Single crystals were grown from THF by the slow evaporation method with a yield of 96% (m.p.365–367 K).
All of the H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and refined using the riding model with Atom—H lengths of 0.95Å (CH) or 0.99Å (CH2). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.19–1.22 (CH) or 1.18–1.20 (CH2) times Ueq of the parent atom.
α-Haloketones have been attracting increasing attention in view of their high reactivity as building blocks for the preparation of compounds of various classes due to their selective transformations with different reagents. The α-haloketones can be particularly promising synthons in combinatorial synthesis of functionalized carbo- and heterocyclic compounds used in the design of novel highly effective pharmaceuticals with a broad spectrum of bioresponses (Erian et al., 2003). Crystal structures of some acetyl biphenyl derivatives viz., 4-acetyl-2'-fluorobiphenyl (Young et al., 1968), 4-acetyl-2'-chlorobiphenyl (Sutherland & Hoy, 1968), 4-acetyl-3'-bromobiphenyl (Sutherland & Hoy, 1969), 4-acetyl-2'-nitrobiphenyl (Sutherland et al., 1974), α-bromoacetophenone (Gupta & Prasad, 1971), 2-Bromo-4'-phenylacetophenone (Sim, 1986 ) and methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate (Yathirajan et al.2007) have been reported. In view of the importance of the α-haloketones, the title compound, (I), has been prepared and its crystal structure is reported.
In the title compound, C8H6BrNO3, two molecules crystallize in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 2). The nitro and ethanone groups are planar with the benzene ring and the bromine atom is twisted slightly (Torsion angles C1A/C7A/C8A/Br1 = -177.5 (5)° and C1B/C7B/C8B/Br2 = 168.6 (5)°. Bond distances and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). An extensive array of weak C—H···O and C—H···Br hydrogen bonds (Table 1), π–π ring stacking (Table 2) and short non-hydrogen, Br···O and O···Br, intermolecular interactions (Table 3) contribute to crystal stability forming a supermolecular 3-dimensional network structure along 110 (Fig. 3). These interactions give rise to a variety of cyclic graph-set motifs (R31(3), R22(7), R22(8), R33(12), R33(18)), Fig. 3, (Etter, 1990) and form interconnected sheets in the three-dimensional structure.

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. |

α-Haloketones have been attracting increasing attention in view of their high reactivity as building blocks for the preparation of compounds of various classes due to their selective transformations with different reagents. The α-haloketones can be particularly promising synthons in combinatorial synthesis of functionalized carbo- and heterocyclic compounds used in the design of novel highly effective pharmaceuticals with a broad spectrum of bioresponses (Erian et al., 2003). Crystal structures of some acetyl biphenyl derivatives viz., 4-acetyl-2'-fluorobiphenyl (Young et al., 1968), 4-acetyl-2'-chlorobiphenyl (Sutherland & Hoy, 1968), 4-acetyl-3'-bromobiphenyl (Sutherland & Hoy, 1969), 4-acetyl-2'-nitrobiphenyl (Sutherland et al., 1974), α-bromoacetophenone (Gupta & Prasad, 1971), 2-Bromo-4'-phenylacetophenone (Sim, 1986 ) and methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate (Yathirajan et al.2007) have been reported. In view of the importance of the α-haloketones, the title compound, (I), has been prepared and its crystal structure is reported.
In the title compound, C8H6BrNO3, two molecules crystallize in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 2). The nitro and ethanone groups are planar with the benzene ring and the bromine atom is twisted slightly (Torsion angles C1A/C7A/C8A/Br1 = -177.5 (5)° and C1B/C7B/C8B/Br2 = 168.6 (5)°. Bond distances and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). An extensive array of weak C—H···O and C—H···Br hydrogen bonds (Table 1), π–π ring stacking (Table 2) and short non-hydrogen, Br···O and O···Br, intermolecular interactions (Table 3) contribute to crystal stability forming a supermolecular 3-dimensional network structure along 110 (Fig. 3). These interactions give rise to a variety of cyclic graph-set motifs (R31(3), R22(7), R22(8), R33(12), R33(18)), Fig. 3, (Etter, 1990) and form interconnected sheets in the three-dimensional structure.
