Abstract top

The title compound, C10H12N2O4, adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. The non-H atoms of the molecule are essentially coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.015 (2) Å. An intramolecular O-H...N interaction is observed. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to the ac plane by N-H...O hydrogen bonds involving the methoxy O atom and by two C-H...O hydrogen bonds involving the carbonyl O atom. In addition, an intermolecular C-H...[pi] interaction is observed.

Comment top

Benzaldehydehydrazone derivatives have attracted much attention due to their pharmacological activity (Parashar et al., 1988) and their photochromic properties (Hadjoudis et al., 1987). They are important intermediates of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, which have been reported to be versatile compounds with many interesting properties (Borg et al., 1999). Metal complexes based on Schiff bases have received considerable attention because they can be utilized as model compounds of active centres in various proteins and enzymes (Kahwa et al., 1986; Santos et al., 2001). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound.

The title molecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the CN bond. The non-hydrogen atoms of the molecule are essentially coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.015 (2) Å for atom C(7). The bond lengths and angles are comparable to those observed for methylN'-[(E)-4-methoxybenzylidene]hydrazinecarboxylate (Shang et al., 2007). An intramolecular O—H···N interaction is observed.

In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to the ac plane by N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Fig.2). In addition, C—H···π interactions are observed.

Experimental top

2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (1.52 g, 0.01 mol) and methyl hydrazinecarboxylate (0.90g, 0.01 mol) were dissolved in stirred methanol (20 ml) and left for 3.5 h at room temperature. The resulting solid was filtered off and recrystallized from ethanol to give the title compound in 90% yield. Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution at room temperature (m.p. 415–418 K).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically (O-H = 0.82 Å, N-H = 0.86 Å and C-H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å) and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) and 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl). In the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects, Friedel pairs were averaged.

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.
