Abstract The crystal structures of the first two pyrazole N-substituted primary amides (3-methyl and 4-bromo) were determined. The amide groups from the R22 (8) hydrogen-bond dimeric pattern in all cases, in accordance with the higher rate found for the formation of this pattern in monosubstituted benzamides (81%) compared with the whole group of primary amide structures (34%). These two compounds and four other N-CONH2 pyrazoles were studied by solid state NMR (CPMAS technique). 䉷 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction 1H-Pyrazole-1-carboxamides 1 are a class of compounds belonging to the family of azolides 2 [1], which in spite of having been studied through the last century [1–9], their molecular structures have never been determined, not even for the simplest and most common case where R4yR5y-H. The only related structure is that of compound 3 (Cambridge Structural Database [10], CSD hereinafter, refcode:FAGRUA). Regarding the structural aspects of pyrazolecarboxamides, it was established that the CONHR4 group (R5yH) can migrate between positions 1 and 2, the

mechanism involving a dissociation-recombination of pyrazole and isocyanate (OyCyN–R4) [4,7]. Scheme 1 The other relevant structural data is related to the rotational isomerism about the C(O)– NH2 group (R4yR5yH) which was estimated to be 16 kcal mol ⫺1 which corresponds to a typical amide group [5]; moreover, it was established by 1 H NMR, for both 1 and 2, that the oxygen atom is situated anti with regard to the N2 lone pair [5]. Scheme 2 Finally, the 13C NMR spectra in DMSO–d6 solution was determined for a series of pyrazoles bearing at position 1 a CONH2 group 4–9. The most relevant conclusion for the present work is that all these compounds have very similar conformations in solution [8].

2. Experimental Chemistry: The six compounds discussed in the present work were described previously by one of us [4]. In the case of 3(5)-methylpyrazole-1-carboxamide, the synthesis lead to two possible isomers 4 (3-methyl) and 4 0 (5-methyl) but it was established

that the 5-methyl isomer 4 0 isomerizes thermally to the 3-methyl one 4 [4,6]. The compound studied in this work is the most stable isomer, 4. X-Ray structure determination: Details of data collection and refinement procedure for 4 and 7 are gathered in Table 1. Both samples were enclosed in Lindemann capillaries to prevent decomposition. As the extremely anisotropic unit cell dimensions of 7, the orientation matrix had to be carefully refined in order to predict the reciprocal lattice directions with enough accuracy for data collection (mainly at high resolution angles and along the largest reciprocal axis vector). To achieve this, an appropriate set of reflections was chosen, containing 24 reflections evenly distributed through the reciprocal space. The structures were solved by direct methods using the SIR92 program [12] and refined by full matrix least squares procedures on Fo using the XTAL 3.2 System [13]. The hydrogen atoms were located in the difference Fourier synthesis and were included in the refinement

as isotropic, although the thermal factor of all of them had to be kept fixed for 7. The weighting scheme was obtained (PESOS [14]) in an empirical way as to give no trends in 具wD 2Fo典 vs. 具Fo典 or 具sin u/l典. The atomic scattering factors were taken from the International Tables for X-Ray Crystallography, [15]. The final atomic coordinates and equivalent displacement parameters for 4 and 7 are reported in Table 2. Crystallographic data (excluding structure factors) for the structures reported in this article was deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre as supplementary publication no.

3. Results and discussion 3.1. Molecular structure Selected geometrical parameters [18] for 4 and 7 are reported in Table 3 according to the numbering scheme displayed in Fig. 1. The three crystallographically independent molecules in 4 (4A, 4B and 4C hereinafter) are not significantly different in terms of bond distances and angles after comparison using half-normal probability plots [19]. As far as the torsion angles are concerned, the only differences are at the angles defining the coplanarity of the

substituents in 4B (carboxamide and methyl groups, Table 3) with regard to the pyrazole ring. The highest distortion from planarity of the pyrazole ring is also presented by 4B (x 2 values of 1.73, 7.94 and 3.31 for 4A, 4B and 4C respectively versus a tabulated one of 5.99 at 95% probability level) [6]. In 7, the molecule as a whole is more planar than in 4 as measured by the torsion angle around the N(1)– C(6) bond (significantly different to that observed in 4B and 4C) and by the planarity of the pyrazole ring (x 2 ˆ 0.30 versus 5.99 at 95% probability level). When the methyl substituent at C(3) in 4 is replaced by the Br at C(4) in 7, the differences in the pyrazole ring geometry are not significant in terms of the achieved precision, indicating the opposite effects of the Me and Br substituents in the deformation of the intra-anular ipso and ortho angles in a similar way to that reported for benzene derivatives [20]. The molecules (4A and 7), which present lower distortion from planarity, are both forming a hydrogen bonded R22 (8) dimer [21] around a crystallographic symmetry centre (R stands for ring, subscript and superscript indicate the number of donor and acceptor atoms respectively and 8 is the total number of atoms involved in the ring. See Ref. [22] for a detailed description). However, molecules 4B and 4C are hydrogen bonded one with the other forming the same type of dimer, but around a pseudosymmetry centre located at (0.150(3), 0.216(12), 0.170(1)) [18] and the P-1 symmetry related positions. In all molecules the NH2 group present a planar conformation, the sum being of bond angles around the N atom 359(4)⬚, 360(4)⬚, 360(4)⬚ and 359(22)⬚ for 4A, 4B, 4C and 7, respectively.

3.2. Secondary structure The carboxamide groups in both compounds are involved in the formation of R22 (8) dimers. The tendency of the structures containing an amide fragment to form this cyclic pattern has previously been reported [21]. According to this study, 34% of all structures form the R22 (8) hydrogen-bond pattern, this means that although it is quite common, it is not

the only one formed. No primary amides with the carboxamide group attached to the N(1) pyrazole atom was found in the CSD (October 1997 version). To avoid this, we have done a search at the CSD [10] looking for benzamide derivatives instead (similar to the title compounds) and excluding organometallic derivatives and those with more than one chemical species in the crystal (salts, hydrates, inclusion complexes). The resulting 32 crystal structures can

be subdivided in two groups: the first one (Table 4) includes the parent compound (benzamide) and 26 monosubstituted benzamides (ortho, meta or para) and the second one is constituted by 5 derivatives with 3 or 5 additional substituents. In the first group 81% of the structures form R22 (8) dimers, while in the second one it is only 40%, which is more similar to the number previously reported. There is a clear tendency towards the formation of the R22 (8) system in the monosubstituted derivatives, that is more

consistent with the structures reported in this article. However, there is still a small difference in the behaviour of compound 4 as all 24 R22 (8) dimers found in the CSD (22 in the first group and 2 in the second) are rigorously centrosymmetric, while in 4 there is a pseudocentrosymmetric one as mentioned above. Considering the geometry of the interaction, the values observed in 4 and 7 are very similar to those obtained from the CSD as far as the mean values are

3.3. Packing of R22 (8) dimers The packing arrangement of the centrosymmetric amide pair R22 (8) was described thirty years ago [24] in the case that the dimers directly hydrogen bond with each other. Three possibilities were reported: translation (T), glide plane (GP) and two-fold screw

axis (SA), which are the same motifs we have found for the monosubstituted benzamide derivatives, Table 4. The most populated set of structures corresponds to type T (10 structures), decreasing in the sequence GP(3) and SA(11), that is the same order found in Ref. [24]. The remaining 8 structures (X on Table 4) containing R22 (8) dimers (36%) present a wide variety of hydrogen bond networks interconnecting the dimers and it is not possible to establish an easy classification. In general, it is observed that the potential hydrogen bond donors and acceptors of the benzamide substituent are involved in the interdimer connections. The crystal packing in 4 is formed by two independent R22 (8) dimers (See the discussion above and Fig.1)

that are hydrogen bonded directly involving molecules 4A and 4B, and through the pyrazole moiety between molecules 4A and 4C. This results in a chain of molecules parallel to the c axis, Fig. 2a. The main interactions between chains are of CH…O type, Table 3. The dimer interconnection in 7 belongs to the translation (T) type, giving rise to chains of R22 (8) dimers along the a ⫹ c direction, Fig. 2b and c, that are further stabilized by CH…N interactions, Table 3. The ‘‘molecular ribbons’’ formed interact with each other via Br…Br short interactions (3.615(2) versus ˚ (sum of van der Waals radii [25])). This kind 3.700 A of short Halogen…Halogen interactions that stabilize the crystal structure was found in all the mono halogen benzamide derivatives found in CSD ˚ (p-F) versus (Fluoride: 2.902 (m-F), 2.825 A ˚ ˚ and Chloride: 3.235 (p-Cl a form), 3.330 A 2.940 A ˚ ). (p-Cl g-form) versus 3.560 A 3.4. 13C CPMAS NMR study We have collected in Table 5 the 13C chemical shifts reported for the DMSO-d6 solution [8] and those that we have determined in the solid state. The first comment is that they are remarkably alike, those in the solid state being generally slightly larger by 1 ppm on average (largest deviations ⫹ 3.3 ppm for the CONH2 of compound 4 and ⫺ 1.9 ppm for the C5 of compound 9). The chemical shifts for the C4 signal of 4-bromo derivatives 7–9 is the centre of a complex signal as a result of the dipolar coupling [17]. The C4 signal of compound 5 is split (110.7 and 112.5 ppm) and its CONH2 signal (153.4 ppm) is broad suggesting some mobility of the amide. The three independent molecules of 4 (A–C) are too similar in terms of geometry to produce observable differences in the corresponding 13C CPMAS spectrum. In conclusion, the X-ray structures of compounds 4 and 7 are representative for all this series of compounds and most probably for other pyrazole-1-carboxamides. 4. Conclusions Monosubstituted pyrazole-1-carboxamides display a similar tendency to form R22 (8) dimers as monosubstituted benzamides; however, only in the first group a situation of pseudosymmetry centre was found. The

importance of the weak CH…O and CH…N hydrogen bonds in the stability of the chains of molecules (secondary structure) and in the packing of these chains to form the whole crystal is also evidenced. We have tried to find some relationship between the geometry of the amide fragment and the barrier to rotation about the amide bond. For the following eight compounds (formamide, N-methylformamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylbenzamide, N,Ndimethylbenzamide, urea, tetramethylurea and pyrazole-1-carboxamide) [4,26,27] there is no relationship with the CyO bond length but there is an acceptable ˚ ) [28,29] relationship with the C–N bond length (in A and with the number R of methyl groups on the nitrogen (from 0 for formamide to 4 for tetramethylurea). Ea(kcal mol) ˆ (494 ^ 24) – (364 ^ 18) dC–N ⫹ (3.7 ^ 0.2) R, n ˆ 8, r 2 ˆ 0.988. The sign, but not the actual value, of both coefficients are as expected: first, the longer the C–N bond the lower the barrier and, second, the presence of methyl groups on the nitrogen increases the barrier.
