In the title compound, C16H14N4O5, the benzene ring of the nicotinate residue is inclined at an angle of 64.06 (10)° to the benzene ring of the nitro­phen­oxy group. The mol­ecules are linked by two inter­molecular C—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds into a complex three-dimensional framework structure. C—H...π inter­actions also contribute to the stability of the crystal packing.

Comment top

Pyridine derivatives are important compounds because of their presence in numerous natural products. For example, nicotine is found in a wide variety of plants, which play important roles in metabolism and possess a wide spectrum of biological activity (Yildiz, 2004). We report here the molecular structure of the nicotinate derivative (I) (Fig. 1). In the title compound, all bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and the molecules are linked by two intermolecular C—H···O and N—H···N hydrogen bonds into a complex three-dimensional framework structure (Fig. 2). Weak C—H···π interactions (Table 1, Cg is a centroid of the N1/C4/C3/C2/C1/C5 ring) also contribute to the crystal packing stability.

Experimental top

A mixture of 4-amino-5-cyano-6-methanesulfonyl-2-methyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester (1.4 g, 5 mmol) and catalytic solid K2CO3 (0.012 g, 0.1 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-nitro-phenol (0.7 g, 5 mmol) in anhydrous ethanol (20 ml), stirred for 2 h at 341 K and filtered. The filtrate was condensed and the residue recrystallized from dichloromethane/ petroleum ether to give pure 4-amino-5-cyano-2-methyl-6-(2-nitro-phenoxy)-nicotinic acid ethyl ester (yield 86%). Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray structure analysis were grown from ethanol.

Refinement top

Amine H atoms were refined with fixed isotropic displacement parameters Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). All other H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.97 Å and refined using a riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C).

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.
