7-Chloro-5-cyclopropyl-9-methyl-5H-4,5,6,10-tetraazadibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-11(10H)-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H13ClN4O, which is a chloro derivative of the drug Nevirapine, the diazepine ring is in a twisted boat conformation. The pyridine rings fused to the diazepine fragment form a dihedral angle of 58.44 (10)° and the molecule adopts a butterfly shape. The molecules are joined via N—H...N hydrogen bonding into polymeric chains down the b axis. All weaker C—H...O interactions involve the carbonyl O atom as acceptor.
