(E)-N-(6-Chloro-3-pyridylmeth­yl)-N-ethyl-N′-methyl-2-nitro­ethyl­ene-1,1-diamine

Abstract

In the title compound, C₁₁H₁₅ClN₄O₂, the amino group is involved in intra- and inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The former contributes to the mol­ecular conformation, while the latter link the mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal structure also exhibits weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions.

Comment

Nitenpyram is a new chloro-nicotine type insecticide (Wang et al., 2001) possessing a wide spectum of useful properties (Isao et al., 1993). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound (I).

In (I) (Fig. 1), all bond lengths and angles are in agreement with those reported for the related structures (Jiang et al., 2007; Xia et al., 2007). The pyridine ring and plane N2/N3/C9/C11 form a dihedral angle of 48.8 (2)°. The amino group is involved in intra- and intermolecular N-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1). The intermolecular N-H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal packing exhibits also weak intermolecular C—H···O interactions (Table 1).

Experimental

A solution comprising N-((6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl)ethanamine(0.1 mol) in trichloromethane(30 ml) was slowly added from a dropping-funnel to a mixture of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-nitro-ethane(0.15 mol), trichloromethane(30 ml) and an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate(40%, 53 g) in a flask equipped with stirrer and reflux condenser. After the mixture was stirred for 1 h while maintaining the temperature at 273–280k, an aqueous solution of methylamine(30%, 30 g) was then added dropwise, followed by a two hours stirring at room temperature. The reaction mixture were extracted with trichloromethane, the title compound (16.2 g, yield 60%) could be afforded after ethyl oxide was added to the concentration remnants on cooling. The single-crystal suitable for X-ray measurements was obtained by recrystallization from trichloromethane-ethyl acetate(1:1) at room temperature.

Refinement

H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with N—H and C—H distances of 0.86 and 0.93–0.97 Å, respectively, and with U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C, N) for the aryl, methylene and N H atoms and 1.5U_eq(C) for the methyl H atoms.

Special details

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.
