N-Nitro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C₅H₅N₃O₃, the nitro group is twisted with respect to the amide group, with C—N—N—O torsion angles of 29.0 (2) and −153.66 (14)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked through inter­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming supra­molecular chains along the a axis. These chains stack in parallel and form distinct layer motifs in the (001) plane.

Comment

Pyrrole derivatives play an important role in heterocyclic chemistry due to their intrinsic biological activities as antimicrobial agents (Mohamed et al., 2009). The structures of these compounds have been reported extensively, such as 2,3,5-substituted pyrrole derivatives (Ferreira et al., 2002), 1-Benzyl-N-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide (Zeng et al., 2010), 2-(4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamido) propionate (Zeng et al., 2007) and Tetraethyl 1,1'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(2,5- dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3,4-dicarboxylate) (Wang et al., 2010).

The bond length of N2—C5 for the title compound (1.404 (2) Å) is about 0.07 Å longer than compound 1-Benzyl-N-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide (1.334 (3) Å) (Zeng et al., 2010) (Fig. 1). The unit is nearly co-planar with the twist happens at nitro group (C5—N2—N3—O2 = 29.0 (2), C5—N2—N3—O3 = -153.66 (14)), the maximum deviation of other torsions is C3—C4—C5—N2 = -8.6 (3)°.

In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), molecules are connected through N1—H1N···O3, N2—H2N···O1, C3—H3···O1, C3—H3···O3 (Table 1) hydrogen bonds to form one-dimensional supramolecular chains along the a axis. These supramolecular chains stack in parallel and form distinct layer motif in (0 0 1) plane.

Experimental

Pyrrole (0.67 g, 0.01 mol) was added to a solution of N,N'-dinitrourea (DNU) (1.5 g, 0.01 mol) dissolved in acetonitrile (10 ml), stirred at room temperature for 24 h, the crude compound was obtained after acetonitrile was evaporated. Then the products were dissoved in ethyl acetate, colourless crystals suitable for X-ray crystal diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of the solution at room temperature. DNU was synthesized according to the literautre (Goede et al., 2001).

Refinement

The hydrogen atoms bonded to N1 and N2 were located from a difference Fourier maps and refined isotropically with N—H = 0.88 (3) Å and 0.88 (2) Å respectively. The remaining hydrogen atoms were geometrically positioned (all C—H = 0.9500 Å).

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.
