(Received 28 July 2010; accepted 10 August 2010; online 18 August 2010)

In the title compound, C11H13BrN2O2, the dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.011 Å) C—C(Br)=N—N(H)— fragment is 74.94 (16)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which generate C(6) chains propagating in [010]. Weak aromatic ππ stacking [centroid–centroid separation = 3.784 (3) Å] may also help to consolidate the packing.

Comment top

(Benzylhydrazono)acetate is a key intermediate in the preparation for pyrazoline compounds (Bach et al., 1994), which are selective for the NMDA receptors and show weak antagonists. In addition, it plays an important role in the synthesis of thiadiazole nucleus (Feddouli et al., 2004; Abouricha et al., 2005), which have been exhibited potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities (Hafez et al., 2008). Herein, the structure of ethyl 2-bromo-(Z)-2-(2-benzylhydrazono)acetate has been determined.

The crystal structure of the title compound is given in Fig. 1. In the crystal, the adjacent molecules are stabilized by N—H···O hydrogen bonding, with the distance of 2.965 (4) Å (Table 1). Molecules are linked into chain along the b axis by the above hydrogen bond (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

To a stirred solution of ethyl 2,2-diethoxyacetate (1 ml, 5.6 mmol) and acetyl chloride (0.8 ml, 11.2 mmol) was added iodine (3 mg, 0.01 mmol). After the mixture was stirred for overnight, excess acetyl chloride was removed in vacuo, the residue in 1,4-dioxane (25 ml) was treated with benzylhydrazine dihydrochloride (1.09 g, 5.6 mmol) in water (10 ml), then the mixture was adjusted to pH 4. After 1 h the mixture was neutralized to pH 8 with saturated NaOH and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was added water and extracted with CH2Cl2, the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude compound was dissolved in AcOEt (8 ml), which was reacted with NBS (1.1 g, 6.2 mmol) for 2 h. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 and filtered, the filtrate was concentrated and purified by column chromatography (eluent: PE/AcOEt = 28/1) to give the title compound (0.67 g, 2.35 mmol) as a white solid. Colorless blocks of (I) were grown in PE/AcOEt (14/0.5, V/V) solution by slow evaporation at room temperature.

Refinement top

All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.96 Å (methyl), 0.97 Å (methenyl), 0.93 Å (aromatic), and Uiso(H) =1.2Ueq(C).

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.
