Comment top

Our interest in the X-ray structural investigation of the title compound was stimulated by its potential HIV-1 RT inhibition properties. Compounds of this type belong to family of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).

A view of the molecular structure of the title compound is given in Fig. 1. A l l the bond distances in the molecule are in good agreement with their mean statistical values, except bond C2—C7 which is relatively short, 1.493 (2) Å. We believe that this shortening is caused by the inductive effect of the carbonitryl group C7 N11.

In the crystal structure infinite chains along [010] direction are formed via an intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (see Fig. 2 and Table 1).

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by the cycloalkylation of N1-benzyl-N1-cyano(1H-3-indolyl)methyl-3-chloropropanamide in the phase-transfer catalysis condition (Martirosyan et al., 2000, 2004). The compound as synthesized is a racemic mixture. Colorless crystals, suitable for X-ray analysis, were grown from a methanol solution of the compound.

Refinement top

The H-atoms were located from difference Fourier syntheses and freely refined: N—H = 0.90 (2) Å; C—H = 0.94 (2) - 1.02 (2) Å.

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.
