In title compound, C16H15N3O2, the 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0068 Å) and forms a dihedral angle of 61.4 (3)° with the phenyl ring. In the structure, centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules are linked into dimers by pairs of C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

[1,2,4]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives are important heterocyclic compounds which exhibit antifungal, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities (Luo & Hu, 2006; Liu & Hu, 2002). Despite possessing outstanding biological activities, only a few [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines are known. Some commonly used synthetic methods are the annulation of the 1,2,4-triazole ring starting with amino substituted pyridines by a multistep procedure (Jones & Sliskovic, 1983). Previously, imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and indolizines had been synthesized by a novel tandem reaction in our group (Wang et al., 2003; Ge et al., 2009; Jia et al., 2010). As an extension of this work, the synthesis of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine heterocycles through this procedure has been undertaken. We present here the crystal structure of one of such compounds, ethyl 8-phenyl-6-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-7-carboxylate.

In title compound (Fig. 1) the the [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine ring system is almost planar, as indicated by its r.m.s. deviation of 0.0068 Å and by the dihedral angle of 0.9 (3)° between the pyridine and triazole rings. The C10–C15 phenyl ring is tilted by 61.4 (3)° with respect to the mean plane through the fused-ring system. All bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles in the molecule are normal. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related molecules form dimeric units by a pair of C—H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1).

Experimental top

Phenyl(1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)methanone (6 mmol), ethyl 4-bromo-3-methylbut-2-enoate (12 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.8 g, 13.2 mmol) and DMF (30 ml) were added to a 100 ml round-bottomed flask and stirred for 8 h. The mixture was then poured into water (200 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (3 × 50 ml). The organic layers were combined and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, then filtered, and the mixture concentrated by rotary evaporation. The crude products were depurated by using column chromatography in 72% isolated yield. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in a hexane/ethyl acetate mixture (3:1 v/v) at room temperature over a period of one week.

Refinement top

All H atoms were found on a difference Fourier map, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and included in the final cycles of refinement using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.

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.
