Methyl 4-[(5-chloropyrimidin-2-yl)carbamoyl]benzoate
Abstract
Molecules of the title compound, C13H10ClN3O3, form centrosymmetric dimers via intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds generating an R22(8) motif. The dimers are further connected through an O...Cl—C halogen bond [O...Cl = 3.233 (1) Å and O...Cl—C = 167.33 (1)°] into a chain along [110]. The secondary amide group adopts a cis conformation. Weak C—H...N hydrogen bonds among the methyl benzoate and pyrimidyl rings are also observed in the crystal structure.
