Abstract

In the molecule of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₃Cl₂N₃O₂, the triazole ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 14.8 (2) and 81.5 (1)° to the furan and dichlorobenzene rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the dichlorobenzene and furan rings is 86.3 (2)°. An intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond results in the formation of a planar [maximum deviation 0.012 (2) Å] five-membered ring, which is oriented at a dihedral angle of 0.90 (7)° with respect to the dichlorobenzene ring. There is an intermolecular C—H⋯π contact between the methylene group and the dichlorobenzene ring.

Comment

In recent years, among antifungal agents, azole derivatives still have an important place in the class of systemic antifungal drugs. Some ether structures containing 1H-imidazole ring like micozanole, ecozanole and sulconazole have been synthesized and developed for clinical uses as antifungal agents (Godefroi et al., 1969). The crystal structures of these ether derivatives like miconazole (Peeters et al., 1979), econazole (Freer et al., 1986) have been reported previously. Also, antifungal activity of aromatic ethers possessing 1H-1,2,4-triazole ring have been reported (Wahbi et al., 1995). Itraconazole (Peeters et al., 1996) and fluconazole (Caira et al., 2004) are 1H-1,2,4-triazole ring containing azole derivatives. 1,2,4-Triazoles are biologically interesting molecules and their chemistry is receiving considerable attention due to antihypertensive, antifungal and antibacterial properties (Paulvannan et al., 2001). Ether structures possessing 1H-benzimidazole ring have been reported to show antibacterial activity more than antifungal activity (Özel Güven et al., 2007a,b). The crystal structures of 1H-benzimidazole ring containing ether derivatives (Özel Güven et al., 2008a,b,c,d) and also,1H-1,2,4-triazole ring containing ether derivatives have been reported recently (Özel Güven et al., 2008e,f). Now, we report herein the crystal structure of 2,4-dichloro- derivative of 1H-1,2,4-triazole and furyl rings containing ether structure.

In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1) the bond lengths and angles are generally within normal ranges. The planar triazole ring is oriented with respect to the furan and dichlorobenzene rings at dihedral angles of 14.8 (2)° and 81.5 (1)°, respectively. Atoms C3, C4 and C9 are -0.021 (2), 0.029 (2) and 0.034 (4) Å away from the planes of the triazole, furan and dichlorobenzene, respectively. So, they are nearly coplanar with the adjacent rings. The dichlorobenzene ring is oriented with respect to the furan ring at a dihedral angle of 86.3 (2)°. An intramolecular C—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1) results in the formation of a planar five-membered ring (O1/H11/C9–C11), which is oriented with respect to dichlorobenzene ring at a dihedral angle of 0.90 (7)°. So, they are coplanar.

In the crystal, an intermolecular C—H···π interaction (Table 1) is observed between the methylene group and the dichlorobenzene ring. A view of the molecular packing in the crystal is shown in Fig.2.

Experimental

The title compound was synthesized by the reaction of 1-(furan-2-yl)-2-(1H-1, 2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanol (unpublished results) with NaH and appropriate benzyl halide. To a solution of alcohol (400 mg, 2.232 mmol) in DMF (4 ml) was added NaH (89 mg, 2.232 mmol) in small fractions. The appropriate benzyl halide (436 mg, 2.232 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h, and excess hydride was decomposed with methyl alcohol (5 ml). After evaporation to dryness under reduced pressure, the crude residue was suspended with water and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then evaporated to dryness. The crude residue was purified by chromatography on a silica-gel column using chloroform as eluent. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by the recrystallization of the ether from 2-propanol (yield; 355 mg, 47%).
