Abstract

The title compound, C5H9NO2, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.036 Å) and an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, N—H⋯O inter­actions link the mol­ecules into C(6) chains propagating along [010].

Comment

Nifedipine was found to be a highly effective calcium antagonist. Consequently,many compounds which were similar in structure to nifedipine have already been used as therapeutic agents for treatment of cerebral circulatory disorder,hypertension and so on. The title compound (I) is an intermediate for the synthesis of this family of compounds and its structure is reported here. As shown in Fig. 1, in each molecular unit, almost non-hydrogen atoms in the same plane, and the deviation is 0.036 nm. The length of the double bond is slightly longer than the normal double bond of ethylene likewise, the bond between carbon and nitrogen are shorter than normal C—N bond. A short intermolecular N—H···O interaction (Table 1) occurs [symmetry code:(i)-x + 1,y - 1/2,-z + 1/2], and relatively strong intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds also exists.

Experimental

Impoved from the published methods by Rakshit et al. (2010) and Vanden Eynde et al. (1995) a modification of the synthetic procedure was used to prepare the title compound from methyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate. Colorless prisms of (I) were obtained by recrystallizing from a ethyl acetate solution. mp: 355 K. Analysis, calculated for C5H9NO2: C 52.16, H 7.88, N 12.17; found: C 52.15, H 7.87, N 12.16.

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.
