3-Hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl acetate

C. Liu, C. Cheng and X. Ji

Abstract top

In the molecule of the title compound, C8H7NO5, the acetate group is oriented with respect to the aromatic ring at a dihedral angle of 85.30 (3)°. An intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bond results in the formation of a non-planar six-membered ring, adopting an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules.

Comment top

Phenolic esters are useful intermediates in organic synthesis (Trollsås et al., 1996; Svensson et al., 1998; Atkinson et al., 2005; Hu et al., 2001). We have developed a new method for the syntheses of some phenolic esters (Ji et al., 2006). The title compound is one of the products, and we report herein its crystal structure.

In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1) the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. The acetate group is oriented with respect to the aromatic ring at a dihedral angle of 85.30 (3)°. The intramolecular O-H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1) results in the formation of a nonplanar six-membered ring (N1/O3/O4/C6/C7/H3), adopting envelope conformation.

In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, 2-nitroresorcin acetate (239 mg, 1.0 mmol) was dissolved in chloroform (20 ml). At 273-278 K, anhydrous AlCl3 (133.5 mg, 1 mmol) was added to this solution, the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and then hydrochloric acid (5 ml, 10%) was added. The reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. After concentration, the residue was separated by flash column chromatography and purified by recrystallization from chloroform (yield; 144 mg, 73%, m.p. 360 K). Spectroscopic analysis: IR (KBr, ν, cm-1): 3253, 3083, 2946, 1758, 1530, 1204, 1138, 978, 847. Analysis required for C8H7NO5: C 48.74; H 3.58; N 7.10%. Found: C 48.80; H 3.61; N 7.08%.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with O-H = 0.82 Å (for OH) and C-H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aromatic and methyl H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C,O), where x = 1.2 for aromatic H and x = 1.5 for all other H atoms.

Special details top

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.
