Abstract:
The title compound, C(13)H(8)Cl(2)N(2)O(2), was obtained by the oxidation of diclofenac {systematic name: 2-[2-(2,6-dichloro-phenyl-amino)-phen-yl]acetic acid}, an anti-inflammatory drug, with hydrogen peroxide catalysed by chlorido[5,10,15,20-tetra-kis-(2,6-dichloro-phen-yl)porphyrinato]manganese(III), using ammonium acetate as co-catalyst. The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules of the title compound (Z' = 2). The close packing of individual mol-ecules is mediated by a series of strong and rather directional N-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, plus weak π-π [distance between the individual double bonds of symmetry-related imino-quinone rings = 3.7604 (13) Å] and Cl⋯O inter-actions [3.0287 (18) Å].

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
