Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 5-cyclopropyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide

Abstract

The title compound, C15H18N4O2, was obtained via a two-step synthesis (Dimroth reaction and amidation) for anticancer activity screening and was selected from a 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide library. The cyclopropyl ring is oriented almost perpendicular to the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 87.9 (1)°], while the dihedral angle between the mean plane of the cyclopropyl ring and that of the triazole ring is 55.6 (1)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by O—H...O and C—H...N interactions into infinite ribbons propagating in the [001] direction, which are interconnected by weak C—H...O interactions into layers. The intermolecular interactions were characterized via Hirshfeld surface analysis, which indicated that the largest fingerprint contact percentages are H...H (55.5%), N...H/H...N (15.4%), C...H/H...C (13.2%) and O...H/H...O (12.9%).
