Comment

The title compound, C10H8O1N4F2, is the key intermediate in the synthesis of a new kind of antifungal drug (Tao et al., 2007; Foroumadi et al., 2003; Wolfgang et al., 1981) and exhibits a chemical structure similar to oxiconazole (Mixich & Thiele, 1979). We designed and synthesized the title compound, and we herein report its crystal structure (Fig. 1).

The bond lengths are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The dihedral angle between rings A (N2-N4/C9/C10) and B (C1-C6) is 65.4 (1) °. In the crystal structure, intermolecular intermolecular O–H···N and C-H···F hydrogen bonds (Table 2) link the molecules in a stacked arrangement along along the a and c axes, respectively (Fig. 2).

Experimental

Hydroxylammonium chloride (3 g, 43.2 mmol) dissolved in ethanol (20 ml) was dropwise added to a solution of 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanone (5 g,22.4 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) which contained CH3COONa (4 g, 48.8 mmol) under reflux conditions for 4 h. The mixture was placed in ice-water (100 ml), and the crystalline product was isolated by filtration, washed with water (100 ml). The crystals were obtained by dissolving the product in ethanol (20 ml) and evaporating acetone slowly at room temperature for about 7 d.

Refinement

The H atom of the hydroxy group was located in a Fourier difference map but was constrained to ride on the parent atom with O—H = 0.82 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The other H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic) and 0.97 Å (methylene) and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
