Abstract

The seven-membered fused-ring in the title compound, C10H10N2O·H2O, adopts a boat conformation (with the two phenyl­ene C atoms representing the stern and the methyl­ene C atom the prow). In the crystal, two benzodiazepinone mol­ecules are linked about a center of inversion by diazepine–carbonyl N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The dimers are further linked by water–diazepine O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a linear chain.

Comment

The compound is belongs to the class of benzodiazepine drugs; the compound is synthesized by condensing o-phenylenediamine with ethyl acetoacetate, two readily-available commerically chemicals. The chemical background of this class of precusor compounds is presented in an earlier report (Ahabchane et al., 1999). A more recent study reports the microwave-assisted synthesis of the title compound (Koizumi, 2006), which is presumably anhydrous. However, the compound crystallizes as a monohydrate (Scheme I, Fig. 1), as shown from the crystal structure analysis.

One of the two hydrogen atoms of the water molecule is disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio. That hydrogen atom near the center-of-inversion is hydrogen bonded to the inversion-related oxygen atom. As the benzodiazepinone molecule is N–H···O hydrogen bonded into a dimer, the water molecule then links adjacent dimers into a linear chain (Table 1).

Experimental

o-Phenylenediamine (1.0 g, 9 mmol) and ethyl acetoacetate (1.2 ml, 9 mmol) were heated in xylene (10 ml) for 1 hour. The mixture was set aside for the growth of colorless crystals of 4-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one; yield 90%. When the heating time is lengthened to 6 hours, the product is N-isopropenyl 1,3-benzimidazol-2-one; details are given in another report (Saber et al., 2010).

Refinement

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95–0.98 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5Ueq(C).

One of the two hydrogen atoms of the water molecule is disordered over two positions. The hydrogen atom near the center-of-inversion should have only half occupancy; this is linked to the inversion-related water molecule. The O–H distances were restrained to 0.84±0.01 Å and the H···H distances to 1.37±0.01 Å; the isotropic temperature factors of the hydrogen atoms were freely refined.

The amino H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.86±0.01 Å; its temperature factor was also freely refined.
