Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C6H5ClN2O, the dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the carboxamine group is 63.88 (8)°. Inter­molecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into a two-dimensional network.

Comment

The structure of 2-chloropyridine-3-carboxamide has attracted us owing to its fungicidal activities (Oda et al., 1993) and its application in coordination chemistry (Qin et al., 2001). The dihedral angles formed by the pyridine ring and the carboxamine group amount to 63.88 (8)° (Fig. 1). The molecules are connected via intermolecular N—H···N and N—H···O hydrogen bonding into layers, with H···N distances of 2.21 and O···H distances of 2.17 Å (Fig. 2 and Tab. 1).

Experimental

Ammonia (10 ml, 66 mmol, 25%) was added slowly to a solution of 2-chloropyridine-3-carbonyl chloride (4.0 g, 22 mmol) in THF (20 ml) at 0°C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for 1.5 h. The resulting mixture was dried under vacuum and washed with two 20 ml portions of THF. Then the solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by vacuum, and the product was collected, yield: 1.93 g, 56%; m.p. 162.5°C. The crystal suitable for X-ray analysis was grown by slow evaporation of the solvent from a diethyl ether solution at 20°. Anal. Calcd for C6H5ClN2O: C, 45.97; H, 3.14; N, 17.82%. Found: C, 46.03; H, 3.22; N, 17.89%.

Refinement

All H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry, with C—H = 0.96 and N—H = 0.86 Å, and were refined with Uiso(H) values set to 1.2 Ueq(C,N).

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.
