The crystal structure is shown in the figure. Tables 1 and 2 contain details of the measurement method and a list of the atoms including atomic coordinates and displacement parameters.
Data collection and handling.
Fractional atomic coordinates and isotropic or equivalent isotropic displacement parameters (Å2).
(Z)-4-((E)-(4-chlorobenzylidene)hydrazono)-1-p-tolylpyrroli-dine-3-carbonitrile was synthesized from reaction of equimolar quantities of 4-hydrazono-1-p-tolylpyrrolidine-3-carbonitrile and 4-chorobenzaldehyde in ethanol in the presence of few drops of glacial acetic acid under reflux for 1 h. The solid produced was filtered, dried and recrystallized from dimethylformamide to give colourless crystals of the title compound (Mp 210–211 °C) [1].
All hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model. Methylene C—H bonds were fixed at 0.97 Å and methyl C—H bonds at 0.96 Å with 1.5Ueq(C). Methyl groups were allowed to spin about the C—C bond. Aromatic C—H distances were set to 0.93 Å and N—H set to 0.86 Å with Uiso set to 1.2Ueq (N/C).
The most efficient syntheses of pyrrolidines involve reactions of primary amines with diols in the presence of a metal complex catalyst [2, 3], of primary amines with dihaloalkanes in the presence of potassium carbonate under microwave conditions [4], of cyclization of amino alcohols in the presence of thionyl chloride [5] and of N-tosylhydrazones with vinyl iodides in the presence of a Pd-catalyst [6]. They can be used as inhibitors for thrombin, and as antiarrhythmic and antihypertensive drugs [7, 8, 9, 10, 11].
The asymmetric unit comprises one molecule. The molecule is almost planar as the angle between the chlorobenzene and tolylpyrrolidine-carbonitrile groups is 7.52(6)° and between the latter group and the toluene group is 7.33(8)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form chains aligned to [010]. For the hydrogen bond, the N2⋯N4 distance is 2.953(2) Å and the N2—H2a⋯N4 angle is 161.0°. A short Cl⋯Cl contact of 3.27 Å is observed in the structure.
