In the title mol­ecule, C8H9N3O4, the amide group is involved in the formation of an intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, mol­ecules related by translation along the a axis are linked into chains via weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions.

Comment top

The title compound (I) can be considered as a potential nitric oxide donating drug. Herewith we present its crystal structure.

The molecule of (I) adopts a folded conformation and contains a planar pyridine cycle (NC5H4) bearing a CO group attached to the α-carbon atom (Fig. 1). The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the O1/C6/N2 plane is 11.3 (2)°. This angle is smaller than that in the nicorandyl [22.8 (2)°] (Eremenko et al., 1996).The dihedral angle between the mean planes O1/C6/N2/C7 and C8/O2/N3/O3/O4 is 44.74 (7)°. The CO and CH2–ONO2 bonds are oriented trans to the pyridine nitrogen atom. In the nicorandyl compound these groups were found in the cis position (Eremenko et al., 1996). Another structural isomer (Fedorov et al., 2001), [N-(2-nitrooxyethyl)isonicotinamide], displays a different molecular conformation and crystallizes in the same centrosymmetric space group P21/c as nicorandil.

The crystal structure of (I) is stabilized through weak non-classical intermolecular H-bonds of the type C—H···O in [100] direction, involving the carbon atom of the nitrooxyethyl group and the oxygen atom of carbonylamide. Moreover, were observed one intramolecular interactions of the type N—H···N (Table 1). On the other hand, the compound nicorandil has only one intermolecular interaction of the type N—H···O. The results for compound (I) and its structural isomers show that the position of the ligand in pyridine ring affects the conformation of the molecule and the interactions present in the crystal packing.

Experimental top

The title product was synthesized by heating ethylnicotinate with an excess 2-ethanolamine to give N-(2-hydroxyethyl)picolinamide in 92% yield (Samejima, 1960). The nitration of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)picolinamide (0.10 mmol) was held by mixing it with fuming nitric acid (1.00 mmol) at -5°C and stirred for 2 h.

The reaction mixture was poured into water and ice, and the pH was adjusted to 6.0 adding (CaCO3). The white solid obtained was filtered at reduced pressure and recrystallized in ethanol, forming the N-(2-nitrooxyethyl)picolinamide in 63% yield (Jiao et al., 1990). MP: 61.2–63.0°C. 1H-NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): 3.85 (2H, q, J = 5.6 Hz), 4.67 (2H, t, J = 5.2 Hz),7.42–7.48 (1H, m), 7.83–7.90 (1H, m), 8.19 (1H, d, J = 7.9 Hz), 8.39 (1H, br s), 8.56 (1H, d, J = 4.4 Hz). 13C-NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): 36.7, 71.7, 122.2, 126.4, 137.4, 148.1, 149.11, 164.7.

Refinement top

H atoms were geometrically positioned (C—H 0.93-0.97 Å, N—H 0.86 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq of the parent atom. In the absence of significant anomalous scatterers in the molecule, attempts to confirm the absolute structure by refinement of the Flack parameter in the presence of 871 sets of Friedel equivalents led to an inconclusive value of -0.2 (13). Therefore, the Friedel pairs were merged before the final refinement.

Special details top

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.
