Ethyl 2-{3-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-2-(nitroimino)imidazolidin-1-yl}acetate

Abstract

In the title compound, C13H16ClN5O4, the imidazole ring is in a slight envelope conformation. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the four essentially planar atoms [maximum deviation 0.015 (2) Å] of the imidazole ring is 80.8 (1)°. In, the crystal, weak C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds are present. In addition, there are weak π–π stacking interactions between symmetry-related pyridine rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.807 (1) Å.
