Abstract

The non-H atoms of the title compound, C9H8Cl2N2O, lie nearly on a plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.110 Å), and the C=N double bond has a Z configuration. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are linked by an N—H⋯Ocarbon­yl hydrogen bond, forming a chain running along [100].

Comment

We have previously reported the synthesis of ethyl (Z)-2-chloro-2-(2-phenylhydrazin-1-ylidene) acetate by the reaction of benzenediazonium chloride with ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (Asiri et al., 2010). The compound is an ester. In the present study, the use of a substituted benzenediazonium chloride and the methyl ester (instead of the ethyl ester) afforded a 1-chloro-1-(arylhydrazono)-2-propanone. Such ketones are intermediates in the synthesis of pyrazoles (Sayed et al., 2002) and other heterocycles (Benincori et al., 1990). In the 4-chloro substituted compound (Scheme I, Fig. 1), the non-hydrogen atoms lie on a plane [r.m.s. deviation 0.110 Å] (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The Caryl–N(H)–N═ C(S)═O portion adopts an extended zigzag conformation. Adjacent molecules are linked by an NH···Ocarbonyl hydrogen bond to form a chain running [1 0 0].

Experimental

To a stirred solution of methyl 2-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (1.64 g, 10 mmol) in ethanol (100 ml) was added sodium acetate trihydrate (1.30 g, 10 mmol). The mixture was chilled to 273 K and then treated with a cold solution of p-nitrobenzenediazonium chloride, prepared by diazotizing p-chloroaniline (1.20 g, 10 mmol) dissolved in 6M hydrochloric acid (6 ml) with a solution of sodium nitrite (0.70 g, 10 mmol) in water (10 ml). The addition of the diazonium salt solution was carried out with rapid stirring over a period of 20 min. The reaction mixture was stirred for further 15 min. and left for 3 h in refrigerator. The resulting solid was collected by filtration and washed thoroughly with water. The crude product was crystallized from ethanol to give the corresponding hydrazonoyl chloride.

Refinement

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

The amino H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was freely refined.

The final difference Fourier map had a peak in the vicinity of H1b.

Omitted from the refinement were (-3 5 1), (-3 13 1), (-3 4 2) and (-3 3 3).

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.
