Crystal structure of 3-phenyl-7-bromoisoxazolo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one

The crystal and molecular structure of 3-phenyl-7-bromoisoxazolo[4,5-d]-pyridazin-4(5H-one, C₁₁H₆BrN₃O₂, has been determined from two- and three-dimensional X-ray data and refined by Fourier and least-squares methods toR = 0·101 for 1187 observed reflexions. Crystals of 3-phenyl-7-bromoisoxazolo-[4, 5-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one are monoclinic:a = 7·67,b = 6·84,c = 20·52 Å, = 91·5 °,Z = 4, space groupP2₁/c. The benzene ring makes an angle of 4·5 ° with the plane of the isoxazole ring, and the other part of the molecule is slightly non-planar. The bond distances and angles compare well with those of other similar molecules. Two N-H...O hydrogen bonds join the two molecules related by a centre of symmetry. Close molecular packing is found in layers parallel to (100).
