In the title compound, C9H8ClN3O2, the terminal C atom of the ethyl group deviates from the indazole ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å) by 1.588 (3) Å. The dihedral angle between the ring system and the attached nitro group is 2.8 (3)°. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O inter­actions link the mol­ecules into zigzag chains propagating along [001]. In addition, weak ππ stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid separations = 3.6809 (10) and 3.7393 (11) Å] help to consolidate the packing.

Structure description

As a continuation of our studies on indazole derivatives (Mohamed Abdelahi et al., 2017[Mohamed Abdelahi, M. M., El Bakri, Y., Benchidmi, M., Essassi, E. M. & Mague, J. T. (2017). IUCrData, 2, x170432.]), we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, C9H8ClN3O2.

The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1[link]. Apart from the terminal carbon atom (C9) of the ethyl moiety, it is essentially planar, as evident from the dihedral angle between the indazole ring plane and nitro group of 2.8 (3)°. Atom C9 deviates from the ring plane by 1.588 (3) Å.

In the crystal, a weak C4—H4⋯O2i inter­action (Table 1[link]) links the mol­ecules into zigzag chains propagating along the c-axis direction (Fig. 2[link]). In addition, weak ππ stacking inter­actions are observed [Cg1⋯Cg2ii = 3.6809 (10) Å, Cg2⋯Cg2ii = 3.7393 (11) Å, where Cg1 is the centroid of the N1/N2/C7/C2/C1 ring and Cg2 is the centroid of the C2–C7 ring; symmetry code: (ii) 2 − x, −y, 2 − z].

Synthesis and crystallization

To a solution of 6-nitro-1H-indazole (0.8 g, 5 mmol) in tetra­hydro­furan (30 ml) were added bromo­ethane (0.8 g, 5 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.24 g, 9 mmol) and a catalytic qu­antity of tetra-n-butyl­ammonium iodide. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. The solution was filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol solution to afford yellow plates of the title compound (yield: 68%).

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. All the H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using the riding model with C—H bond lengths of 0.93 Å (CH), 0.97 Å (CH2) or 0.96 Å (CH3). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.2 (CH, CH2) or 1.5 (CH3) times Ueq of the parent atom. The methyl group was allowed to rotate, but not to tip, to best fit the electron density.
