Abstract

The amide group in the structure of the title compound (N35DCP2CBA), C13H8Cl3NO, is trans-planar, similar to that observed in N-(3-chloro­phen­yl)benzamide, N-(3,5-dichloro­phen­yl)benzamide, 2-chloro-N-phenyl­benzamide and other benzanilides. The C=O bond in N35DCP2CBA is anti to the ortho-chloro substituent in the benzoyl ring. The amide group makes dihedral angles of 63.1 (12) and 31.1 (17)°, respectively, with the benzoyl and aniline benzene rings, while the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 32.1 (2)°. The mol­ecules are linked into chains along the b axis by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Comment

In the present work, the structure of 2-chloro-N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-benzamide (N35DCP2CBA) has been determined to explore the effect of substituents on the structure of benzanilides (Gowda et al., 2003; Gowda, Foro et al., 2008; Gowda, Tokarčík et al., 2008). The N—H and C═O bonds in the amide group of N35DCP2CBA are trans to each other (Fig.1), similar to that observed in N-(3-chlorophenyl)-benzamide(N3CPBA) (Gowda, Tokarčík et al., 2008), N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-benzamide (N35DCPBA) (Gowda, Foro et al., 2008), 2-chloro-N-(phenyl)-benzamide (NP2CBA) (Gowda et al., 2003) and other benzanilides. Further, the conformation of the C═O bond in the structure of N35DCP2CBA is anti to the ortho-chloro substituent in the benzoyl ring, compared to the syn conformation observed in NP2CBA. The amide group –NHCO– makes dihedral angles of 63.1 (12)° and 31.1 (17)° with the benzoyl and aniline rings, respectively, while the two benzene rings (benzoyl and aniline) form a dihedral angle of 32.1 (2)°, compared to the corresponding values of 14.3 (8)°, 44.4 (4)° and 58.3 (1)° in N35DCPBA.

In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) forming chains running along the a axis, as shown in Fig. 2.

Experimental

The title compound was prepared according to the literature method (Gowda et al., 2003). The purity of the compound was checked by determining its melting point. It was characterized by recording its infrared and NMR spectra. Single crystals of the title compound were obtained from an ethanolic solution and used for X-ray diffraction studies at room temperature.

Refinement

The N-bound H atom was located in a difference map, and its positional parameters were refined [N—H = 0.81 (5) Å]. C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å. All H atoms were refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom).

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.
