1-(6-Chloro-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-yl)-3-(2-chlorophenyl)urea

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H11Cl2N5O, the plane of the 1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.087 (19) Å] makes a dihedral angle of 4.87 (10)° with the terminal phenyl ring. An intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond stabilizes the molecular conformation. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into inversion dimers. These dimers are connected by π–π interactions between imidazole rings [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.4443 (14) Å].
