Methyl 5-bromo-6-methylpicolinate

Y.-M. Wu, C.-M. Wu and Y. Wang

Abstract top

The title compound, C8H8BrNO2, does not show any significant intermolecular [pi]-[pi] or C-H...[pi] interactions in the crystal packing except for one weak Br...Br [3.715 (1) Å] interaction.

Comment top

The title compound is one of important intermediates for construction of novel supported PyOX-ligands (Oila et al., 2005). Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound, methyl 5-bromo-6-methylpicolinate (Fig. 1).

In the title compound, the bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The crystal structure is stabilized by a weak Br···Bri interaction at 3.715 (1) Å (Fig. 2; symmetry code as in Fig. 2).

Related literature top

The title compound is an important intermediates for the construction of novel supported PyOX ligands, see: Oila et al. (2005). For bond-length data, see: Allen et al. (1987).

Experimental top

The title compound, (I) was prepared by a method reported in literature (Oila et al., 2005) with some modification. The crystals were obtained by dissolving I (0.2 g) in methanol (50 ml) and evaporating the solvent slowly at room temperature for about 3 d.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with O—H = 0.82 and C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H, 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 other H.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
