Comment top

We have recently reported the structure of 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2- (1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanone, (II) (Wan et al., 2005). In order to investigate the effect of the substituted Cl atoms on the conformation and biological activities, the title compound, (I), was synthesized.

All bond lengths in (I) are in good agreement with those in (II). The benzotriazole group is planar; the dihedral angle between the C9–C14 benzene ring and the N1–N3/C14/C9 triazole ring is 1.2 (2)° in (I), comparable to 1.9 (1)° in (II). The mean plane of the benzotriazole group is nearly parallel to the C1–C6 benzene ring, with a dihedral angle of 3.2 (1)°, in contrast to 33.9 (1)° in (II). The other triazole ring (N4/N5/C15/N6/C16) makes dihedral angles of 63.2 (2) and 60.4 (2)° with the C1–C6 ring and the benzotriazole group, respectively.

In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into a dimer by a weak C—H···N hydrogen bond (Fig. 2 and Table 2). The packing is further stabilized by a ππ interaction between the N1–N3/C14/C9 ring (centroid Cg1) and the C1–C6 ring (centroid Cg2), the distance between the centroids [Cg1···Cg2(x, −1 + y, z)] being 3.742 (2) Å.

Experimental top

Bromine (3.2 g, 0.02 mol, 50 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of 1-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanone (5.1 g, 0.02 mol) and sodium acetate (1.6 g, 0.02 mol) in acetic acid (50 ml). The reaction was maintained for 5 h. Water (50 ml) and chloroform (20 ml) were then added. The organic layer was washed successively with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The chloroform solution was cooled with ice–water, and then an acetone solution (10 ml) of benzotriazole (2.4 g, 0.02 mol) and triethylamine (2.8 ml) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 3 h. The solution was then filtered, concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (sillica gel, petroleum ether–ethyl acetate, 2:1 v/v) to afford the title compound. Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl acetate–cyclohexane (3:1 v/v) solution at room temperature over a period of 6 d.

Refinement top

All H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.98 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
