Comment

The title compound is an important intermediate used to synthesize the Carfentrazone-ethyl, which can be utilized to synthesize herbicides (Jaidev & Plainsboro, 1998), which are of wide interest for applications in control of broadleaf weeds and sedges (Ager & Polz, 1996). They are widely used in protection of wheat, barley, oats, rice, corn, etc (Li & Han, 2010). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), which is of interest to us in the field.

The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Figure 1. In the structure, the molecules were connected together via C—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Figure 2.) to form dimers. The dihedral angle of the rings A(C1—C6), B(N1/N3/C8/N2/C7) is: A/B = 53.2 (1)°.

Experimental

The title compound, (I) was prepared by a method reported in literature (Jaidev & Plainsboro, 1998). The crystals were obtained by dissolving (I) (0.2 g) in acetone (50 ml) and evaporating the solvent slowly at room temperature for about 10 d.

Refinement

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H and 0.96 Å for alkyl H. The Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.2 for aromatic H, and x = 1.5 for alkyl H.

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.
