2-Benzyliminomethyl-4-chlorophenol

X. Zhang and Z. Li

Abstract top

The title compound, C14H12ClNO, is a Schiff base derived from the condensation of equimolar quantities of 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde and 1-benzylamine. The molecule has a trans configuration with respect to the imine C=N double bond. The N atom is involved in an intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bond.

Comment top

Schiff base compounds have been of great interest for many years. These compounds played important role in the development of coordination chemistry related to catalysis and enzymatic reactions, magnetism and molecular architectures. These properties stimulated our interest in this field. The title compound was obtained as a new antipyrine Schiff base.

Its molecular structure and a crystal packing are illustrated in Figs.1 and 2, respectively. Atom N1 is a bridging N atom linking the two parts of the compound. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 72.91 (9) °. In the crystal structure, there exists an intramolecular O—H—N hydrogen bond involving hydroxyl atom O1 and imine atom N1 (Table 1).

Experimental top

All reagents used were of analytical grade from commercial sources and used without further purification. 5-Chlorosalicylaldehyde (0.1 mmol, 15.65 mg) and 1-benzylamine (0.1 mmol, 10.7 mg) were dissolved in methanol (10 ml). The resulting solution was stirred for 30 min, filtered and the filtrate allowed to stand at room temperature. Yellow crystals of the title compound appeared after two weeks of slow evaporation of the solvent.

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq or 1.5Ueq(C/O)
