Supporting information


Comment top

The piperazine ring is present in many clinical drugs (Cai et al., 2009). The incorporation of a piperazine moiety gernerally improves physicochemical properties, and thereby enhances biological activities (Gan, Cai & Zhou, 2009). The piperazine moiety is extensively employed to construct various bioactive molecules (Gan, Lu & Zhou, 2009). Our interest is to develop azole-containing piperazine derivatives as medicinal agents (Gan et al., 2010). Herein we report the crystal structure of the title compound (I).

In the molecular structure (Fig. 1) of (I) the piperazine ring is in a chair conformation, in which the 2,4-difluorobenzyl and chloroacetyl groups are located in equatorial positions.

Experimental top

Compound (I) was synthesized according to the procedure of Gan et al. (2010). Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were grown in a mixed solution petroleum ether and ethyl acetate by slow evaporation at room temperature.

Refinement top

The hydrogen atoms attached to the benzene ring were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). All other H atoms were refined independently with isotropic displacement parameters.

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.
