Abstract

The amide group in the title compound, C7H6ClN3O3, is significantly twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring [C—C—C—O = 34.2 (5)°] whereas the nitro group is almost co-planar [O—N—C—C = 4.0 (5)°] with the ring. Intra­molecular N—H⋯O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating layers propagating in the ab plane.

Comment

The crystal structure determination on the impurity found from the recrystallization of a commercially available title compound (I) was performed as a part of a programme of crystal engineering studies with small molecule acids with amine and nitro substituents (Wardell & Tiekink, 2011).

In (I), Fig. 1, the amide group is twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring to which it is connected as seen in the value of the C2—C1—C7—O1 torsion angle of 34.2 (5)°. By contrast, the nitro group is co-planar with the ring with the O3—N3—C5—C6 torsion angle being 4.0 (5)°. Both amine-H atoms form intramolecular hydrogen bonds, one to the carbonyl-O and the other the chloride substituent, Table 1. The amine-H atoms also form intermolecular interactions with each connected to a nitro-O of the same molecule for form a six-membered {···HNH···ONO}2 synthon. Pairs of amide groups self-associate via the familiar eight-membered centrosymmetric {···HNCO}2 synthon with this amide-H atom also connected to a translationally related amide-O atom. The second amide-H forms a hydrogen bond to a nitro-O3 atom. Thus, three of the N—H atoms form hydrogen bonds and two of the O donor atoms are bifurcated. This observation accounts for the deviations from linearity of the hydrogen bonds, Table 1. The hydrogen bonding scheme leads to the formation of layers in the ab plane. The layers stack along the c axis with no specific intermolecular interactions between them, Fig. 2.

Experimental

The title compound was present as an impurity in a commercial batch of 2-amino-3-chloro-5-nitrobenzoic acid. It was isolated as extremely thin yellow plates from an ethanolic solution of the commercial 2-amino-3-chloro-5-nitrobenzoic acid and sodium hydroxide. IR: 3429 (s), 3325(s) and 3123(br) [NH], 1630–1586 (s, br, with maxima at 1629, 1607 and 1586) [CO], 1501(s) and 1317 (s) [NO2].

Refinement

The C-bound H atoms were geometrically placed (C—H = 0.95 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The N-bound H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with an N—H restraint of 0.88±0.01 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).

Special details

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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.
