Abstract
The molecule of the title compound, C8H6ClN3O2, is built up from fused five- and six-membered rings connected to a chlorine atom and to nitro and methyl groups. The indazole system is essentially planar with the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.007 (2) Å. No classical hydrogen bonds are observed in the structure. Two molecules form a dimer organised by a symmetry centre via a close contact between a nitro-O atom and the chlorine atom [at 3.066 (2) Å this is shorter than the sum of their van der Waals radii].
Keywords: crystal structure, indazole derivative, Cl⋯O short contact

S1. Comment
Indazole derivatives are a versatile class of compounds that have found use in biology, catalysis, and medicinal chemistry. They exhibit a variety of biological activities such as anti-microbial, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti- platelet, and selective 5-HT6 antagonists (Schmidt et al., 2008, Shafakat Ali et al., 2012, Abbassi et al., 2014, Plescia et al., 2010, Lee et al., 2001, Liu et al., 2011).
The two fused five- and six-membered rings (N2N3 C1 to C7) part of the molecule are almost planar, with a maximum deviation of -0.007 (2) Å at C1 atom (Fig.1). The chlorine atom and the nitro group linked to the indazole ring are nearly coplanar with the largest deviation from the mean plane being -0.070 (2) Å at O1. No classic hydrogen bonds are observed in the structure.
S2. Experimental
To a solution of 3-chloro-5-nitroindazole (6.13 mmol) in acetone (15 ml) was added potassium hydroxide (6.8 mmol). After 15 mn at 298 K, methyl iodide (12.26 mmol) was added dropwise. Upon disappearance of the starting material as indicated by TLC, the resulting mixture was evaporated. The crude material was dissolved with EtOAc (50 ml), washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4 and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (EtOAc/hexane 2/8). The title compound was recrystallized from ethanol at room temperature giving colourless crystals (m.p. 471 K, yield: 70%).
S3. Refinement
H atoms were located in a difference map and treated as riding with C–H = 0.96 Å and C–H = 0.93 Å for methyl and aromatic, respectively. All hydrogen with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq for methyl and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq for aromatic.

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. |
