In the title compound, C14H9FN2O, the dihedral angle between the imidazo–pyridine fused ring system and the pendant fluorophenyl ring is 53.77 (4)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (30.4%), H⋯C/C⋯H (23.7%), H⋯O/O⋯H (12.2%) and H⋯F/F⋯H (11.1%) interactions.
Keywords: crystal structure; hydrogen bond; Hirshfeld surface.

Structure description
Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines are an important class of fused N-bridged compounds because of the broad spectrum of synthetic transformations as well as biological activity profiles displayed, which are strongly affected by the substitutions. Several imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines are used clinically, such as the unsubstituted imidazole skeleton cardiotonic agent olprinone, the anticancer agent zolimidine, the 2-substituted analgesic miroprofen, the 3-substituted antiosteoporosis 2,3-disubstituted derivatives with anxiolytic and sedative properties, saripidem, alpidem, and necopidem, and the agent for the treatment of brain disorders and insomnia, zolpidem (Kurteva, 2021
). As part of our ongoing studies in this area, we now report the synthesis and structure of the title compound (I) (Fig. 1
).
| Figure 1 The molecular structure of (I) showing 50% probability displacement ellipsoids. |
The dihedral angle between the N1/N2/C2/C3/C5–C8/C8A fused ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 Å) and the pendant C11–C16 fluorobenzene ring is 53.77 (4)°. The aldehyde O atom lies close to the plane of the fused ring as indicted by the N1—C2—C9=O10 torsion angle of 4.15 (17)°. Atom F14 lies −0.0118 (8) Å away from the best least-squares plane of the phenyl ring.
In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds (Table 1
) link the molecules into a three-dimensional network, enclosing R22(14), R33(16), R44(18), R44(24) and R44(30) ring motifs (Fig. 2
). It may be noted that the aldehyde O10 atom accepts three such bonds in a distorted tetrahedral arrangement (including the C8=O10 bond). Atom F14 accepts two hydrogen bonds in a distorted trigonal arrangement including the C14—F1 bond. Further, there is a weak π–π stacking interaction between the pyridine rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.9090 (7) Å. No significant C—H⋯π interactions are observed.

In order to further visualize the intermolecular interactions in the crystal of (I), a Hirshfeld surface analysis (Fig. 3
) was carried out using Crystal Explorer 17.5 (Spackman et al., 2021
). The overall two-dimensional fingerprint plot, Fig. 4
a, and those delineated into different contact types (McKinnon et al., 2007
) are illustrated in Fig. 4
b–l. These indicate that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (30.4%), H⋯C/C⋯H (23.7%), H⋯O/O⋯H (12.2%) and H⋯F/F⋯H (11.1%) interactions.

The di and de values are the closest internal and external distances (in Å) from given points on the Hirshfeld surface. |
Synthesis and crystallization
A solution of equimolar amounts of 2-aminopyridine (2 mmol) and 2-chloro-2-(diethoxymethyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)oxirane (2 mmol) in 20 ml of 95% aqueous ethanol was heated at reflux for 5 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the remaining white powder was recrystallized from dry acetonitrile solution to give the title compound in the form of colorless prisms. Yield: 45%, m.p. 420–421 K. Analysis calculated for C14H9FN2O: C, 69.99; H, 3.78; N, 11.66. Found: C, 69.96; H, 3.75; N, 11.63. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): 6.86–8.47 (8H, Ar) and 9.79 (1H, CHO). 13C NMR (200 MHz, DMSO-d6): 111.89, 115.78, 116.90, 111.87, 121.32, 126.18, 130.39, 132.79, 140.89, 147.48, 160.87, 165.96, 185.45.

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. The C-bound hydrogen atom positions were calculated geometrically (C—H = 0.95 Å) and refined using a riding model by applying the constraint of Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). |
