Comment
Moxifloxacin (Petersen et al., 1993) is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. The title compound is a key intermediate to synthesize it. As part of our studies in this area, we report here its crystal structure.
In the title compound, all bond lengths and angles show normal values. The dihedral angle between the heterocycle and benzyl group is 45.8 (5)° (Fig.1), similar to that found in a related strcture (Garduño-Beltrán et al., 2009). There is a intermolecular C—H···N hydrogen bond (Table 1) in the crystal structure.
Experimental
Benzylamine (3.85 ml, 35.2 mmol) was added to a suspension of 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic anhydride (5 g, 33.5 mmol) in acetic acid (50 ml), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 18 h. It was then cooled to room temperature, concentrated in vacuo and the residue was triturated with diethyl ether to afford the title compound as a white solid in 57% yield. Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an acetone solution.
Refinement
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(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. |
