Structures of benzoxazine-fused triazoles as potential diuretic agents.

6,8-Dinitro-2,4-dihydro-1H-benzo[b][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]oxazin-1-one, C(9)H(5)N(5)O(6), (I), a potential diuretic, and its acetylacetone derivative (E)-2-(2-hydroxy-4-oxopent-2-en-3-yl)-6,8-dinitro-2,4-dihydro-1H-benzo[b][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]oxazin-1-one, C(14)H(11)N(5)O(8), (II), both crystallize from methanol but in centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmetric space groups, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of crystal structures of benzoxazine-triazole fused systems. The acetylacetone group in (II) exists as the keto-enol tautomer and is oriented perpendicular to the triazol-3-one ring. Of the two nitro groups present, one is rotated significantly less than the other in both structures. The oxazine ring adopts a screw-boat conformation in (II), whereas it is almost planar in (I). N-H···N and N-H···O hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers in (I), while C-H···O interactions associate the molecules into helical columns in (II).
