Comment

In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, 2-iodo-3-nitropyridine, which is an important intermediate in organic synthesis (Baik et al., 2005; Choi-Sledeski et al., 2003).

In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), all bond lengths are normal and in a good agreement with those reported previously for 2,6-diiodopyridine (Holmes et al., 2002) and 2-iodo-3hydroxypyridine (Saha et al., 2006). Atoms I1 and N1 are slightly displaced on opposite sides of the pyridine ring by 0.0719 (3) and 0.015 (4) Å, respectively. The nitro group is tilted by 34.6 (3)° with respect to the pyridine ring. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1) linking the molecules into one dimension chains along the b axis (Fig. 2).

Experimental

The title compound was prepared by reaction of 2-amino-3-nitropyridine (1.1 g, 5 mmol), KNO3 (1.01 g, 10 mmol), HI (6.6 g, 25 mmol, 50% aqueous solution), CuI (0.48 g, 2.5 mmol) and DMSO (60 ml) at 333K. After neutralizing with an alkaline solution, the reaction mixture was extracted several times with diethyl ether. The combined ethereal extracts were washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford the crude product. Purification by flash chromatography gave 2-iodo-3-nitropyridine as a yellow solid in 70% isolated yield (0.875 g). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a methanol solution at room temperature over a period of one week.

Refinement

All H atoms were found on difference maps, with C—H = 0.93 Å and included in the final cycles of refinement using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
