Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of ethyl 2-[5-(3-chlorobenzyl)-6-oxo-3-phenyl-1,6-dihydropyridazin-1-yl]acetate

Abstract

The title pyridazinone derivative, C21H19ClN2O3, is not planar. The unsubstituted phenyl ring and the pyridazine ring are inclined to each other, making a dihedral angle of 17.41 (13)° whereas the Cl-substituted phenyl ring is nearly orthogonal to the pyridazine ring [88.19 (13)°]. In the crystal, C—H...O hydrogen bonds generate dimers with R22(10) and R22(24) ring motifs which are linked by C—H...O interactions, forming chains extending parallel to the c-axis direction. The intermolecular interactions were investigated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, revealing that the most significant contributions to the crystal packing are from H...H (44.5%), C...H/H...C (18.5%), H...O/H...O (15.6%), Cl...H/H...Cl (10.6%) and C...C (2.8%) contacts.
