Abstract

In the title compound, C11H6Cl2FN, the dichloro­benzene and the 2-fluoro­pyridine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 47.73 (3)°. In the crystal, pairs of C—H⋯N inter­actions link the mol­ecules into dimers with R 2 2(12) motifs. Mol­ecules are arranged in stacks extending along [100] via π–π inter­actions with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.8889 (3) Å.

Comment

We have reported the crystal structure of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-fluoropyridine (Adeel et al., 2012), 4-(2-fluoropyridin-5-yl)phenol (Elahi, Adeel & Tahir, 2012) and 5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-fluoropyridine (Elahi, Adeel, Tahir et al., 2012)which have common moiety of 2-fluoropyridine as in (I).

In (I) the dichlorobenzene A (C1–C6/CL1/CL2) and the 2-fluoropyridine B (C7—C11/N1/F1) are planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0189 Å and 0.0042 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B is 47.73 (3)°. The molecules are stabilized in the form of dimers with R22(12) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) due to hydrogen bonding of C—H···N type between dichlorophenyl and pyridine groups (Table 1, Fig. 2).

Experimental

To a 6 ml solution of 5-bromo-2-fluoropyridine (0.2 g, 1.136 mmol), 2,3-dichlorophynyl boronic acid (0.260 g, 1.36 mmol) in dioxane and K3PO4 (0.361 g, 1.5 mmol, in 1 ml H2O) was added Pd(PPh3)4 (1.5 mole %) at 373 K under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 8 h. Then 20 ml of distilled water was added. The aqueous layer was extracted three times with ethyl acetate (3 × 15 ml). The organic layer was evaporated in vacuo and the crude product was obtained. Colorless needles of (I) were obtained by the recrystalization of crude product in a saturated CHCl3/CH3OH (m.p. 350-352 K).

Refinement

The H atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.2 for aryl H atoms.

Special details

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles
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.
