To a solution of α-methylcinnamaldehyde (290 mg, 0.2 mmol) in ethanol (5 ml), cooled in an ice bath, a solution of 4-bromoaniline (344 mg, 0.2 mmol) in ethanol (5 ml) was slowly added dropwise with constant stirring (1 h) at 298 k in the presence of molecular sieves. The mixture was filtered and the yellow solution cooled to 273 K to give the compound in about 85% yield. Yellow crystals were grown from hot ethanol.
All H atoms were included in calculated positions (C—H distances are 0.98 Å for methyl H atoms, 0.99 Å for methylene H atoms and 0.95 Å for aryl H atoms) and were refined as riding atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq (parent atom, methylene and aryl H atoms) or Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq (parent atom, methyl H atoms).
Schiff base compounds have been of great interest for many years, because they play an important role in the development of coordination chemistry (Khalaji et al., 2007.; Khalaji & Welter, 2006.; Amirnasr et al., 2006) and new organic nonlinear optical (NLO) materials (Li et al., 2006) due to their ease of preparation. We report here the crystal structure of Meca-Bran (I)·The asymmetric unit of (I) contains two independent molecules (Fig. 1), having the same bond lengths and angles within experimental error (Table 1). The average C=N bond length of 1.290 Å is slightly longer and average N—C bond length of 1.409 Å is slightly shorter than the corresponding bonds in 2-methoxy-N-[3-(2-nitrophenyl)allylidene]aniline (Yang et al., 2006). THe two independent molecules are both slightly non-planar (which accounts for the crystallographic chirality) and interact with each other via Br(7).·H(34) and Br(27).·H(14) contacts of 2.94 (1) and 3.04 (1) Å respectively and there are no other significant packing interactions.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Schiff base compounds have been of great interest for many years, because they play an important role in the development of coordination chemistry (Khalaji et al., 2007.; Khalaji & Welter, 2006.; Amirnasr et al., 2006) and new organic nonlinear optical (NLO) materials (Li et al., 2006) due to their ease of preparation. We report here the crystal structure of Meca-Bran (I)·The asymmetric unit of (I) contains two independent molecules (Fig. 1), having the same bond lengths and angles within experimental error (Table 1). The average C=N bond length of 1.290 Å is slightly longer and average N—C bond length of 1.409 Å is slightly shorter than the corresponding bonds in 2-methoxy-N-[3-(2-nitrophenyl)allylidene]aniline (Yang et al., 2006). THe two independent molecules are both slightly non-planar (which accounts for the crystallographic chirality) and interact with each other via Br(7).·H(34) and Br(27).·H(14) contacts of 2.94 (1) and 3.04 (1) Å respectively and there are no other significant packing interactions.
