N,N'-Dicyclohexyl-N-(2-pyrazinoyl)urea is formed quantitatively when pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (1.0 g, 8 mmol), 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.1 g, 10 mmol) and [H3Ru4(C6H6)4OH]Cl2 (7 mg, 0.008 mmol) are dissolved under N2 in dimethylformamide (20 ml). The red solution is stirred for 2 h at 293 K and filtered. The product crystallizes at room temperature from the filtrate. Crystals were collected by filtration. 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): 1.22 (m, 10H), 1.55 (m, 10H), 3.55(quint-d, 1H), 4.23 (quint, 1H), 5.94 (d, 1H), 8.51 (dd, 1H), 8.66 (d, 1H), 8.98 (d, 1H); IR (KBr, cm-1): 3278 (NH, sharp), 1703 (CO, amide) and 1681 (CO, urea); MS (ESI, m/z): 330.
Image plate experiment parameters: image plate distance 70 mm; ϕ oscillation scans: 0–200°; step: Δϕ = 1.5°; 2θ range: 3.27–52.1°; dmax-dmin = 12.45–0.81 Å. The H atoms were located from Fourier difference maps and refined isotropically [N4—H4N 0.91 (2) Å and C—H 0.95–1.04 Å]. The absolute structure could not be determined because of the lack of anomalous scatterers.

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. |

N,N'-Dicyclohexyl-N-(2-pyrazinoyl)urea, (I), is formed quantitatively from 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid in dimethylformamide at room temperature, if small amounts of [H3Ru4(C6H6)4OH]Cl2 are present as catalyst; (I) crystallizes directly from the reaction solution. In the absence of the catalyst, (I) seems to be formed as well, although much more slowly; no crystallization occurs under these conditions. The catalyst, [H3Ru4(C6H6)4OH]Cl2, is readily available according to the published methods (Chérioux et al., 2001). The precise role of the catalyst in this reaction is not well established, but it can be recovered unchanged after the reaction. Only in the presence of the catalyst, the reaction, being complete after 2 h, gives (I) as an air-stable colorless block-shaped crystalline product.
Compound (I) is analogous to N,N'-dicyclohexyl-N-nicotinoylurea, (II), which has been synthesized in a complex reaction from L-phenylalanine-L-leucine ethyl ester, nicotinic acid, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in dichloromethane (Gallagher et al., 1999).
In the molecular structure of (I) (Fig. 1), the average values of the C—C—C bond angles in the two cyclohexane rings (111.0 and 111.2°) and the absolute values of torsion angles (average 55.9 and 55.5°), agree with the theoretically predicted values of 111.5 and 54.7° for a chair conformation (Bixon & Lifson, 1967). The bond lengths and angles are in accordance with those in related structures (Orpen et al., 1994).
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving the N4 amide H atom and carbonyl atom O2 leads to the formation of infinite chains running parallel to the a axis of the crystal (Fig. 2). Similar intermolecular (amide)N—H···O═C hydrogen bonding leading to the formation of infinite chains is observed in the structure of N,N'-dicyclohexylurea, (III) (Govindasamy & Subramanian, 1997). The H···O distance of N—H···O═C in (I) [2.929 (2) Å] is slightly shorter than that in (III) [2.962 (5) Å], which may be due to the fact that carbonyl O atom in (III), in contrast to that in (I), participates in two hydrogen bonds involving both `active' H atoms of the next molecule in the chain. In the structure of (II), however, with two independent molecules, there are three symmetry independent hydrogen bonds of two different kinds, namely [(amide)N—H···N(py) and (py)C—H···O═ C(amide)], which leads to the formation of a totally different, much more complex, hydrogen-bonded system.
