Comment

4-(4-(Piperidin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl)benzonitrile are key intermediates which can be used to synthesize 3-aminopyrazole derivatives, which can be used as precursors for anticancer and anti-malarial agents. In the structure of the title molecule (Fig. 1) both piperidine rings are in a chair conformation. A crystal packing is dominated by van der Waals interactions (Fig. 2).

Experimental

A DMSO solution of 1-(piperidin-4-yl)piperidine (4.37 g, 0.01 mol) with 4-fluorobenzonitrile (1.21 g, 0.01 mol) was heated to reflux for 3 h, then water (50 ml) was added into the solution. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2. After the solvent was removed a red crystalline powder was obtained; its recrystallisation from a methanol solution after 5 days yielded single crystals.

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.
