In title compound, C10H12O4, all of the non-H atoms lie approximately in a plane with the largest deviation being 0.061 (2) Å. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. No classical inter­molecular hydrogen bonding occurs, with only van der Waals forces stabilizing the crystal structure.

Soy isoflavone is secondary metabolite during its growth period. As it could be extracted from plants and have a similar structure of estrogen, people usually call it phytoestrogen. Due to the manifested biological activity, such as antitumor, cardiovascular protection, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, osteoporosis improvement, dual effect on estrogen, isoflavone has been paid more attention in social and academic area (Wang & Murphy, 1994; Yoshio et al., 1989). During the development of our own isoflavone derivatives, the title compound, 1-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone, was prepared as an intermediate. The crystallographic analysis of the title compound described herein further confirms the molecular structures of the title compound and isoflavones.

In title compound, C10H12O4, all bond lengths and angles in the molecule are normal (Allen et al., 1987). All of atoms (C1—C10/O1—O4, except H atoms)lie in a plane with the largest deviation 0.061 (2) Å for C10. The intramolecular O3—H3···O4 hydrogen bonds generate S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). There is no classical intermolecular hydrogen bond found in the structure with only Van der Waals forces stabilizing the crystal.

Experimental top

Under ice bath, a solution of 2-hydroxyacetophenone(100 g, 0.734 mol) in CH3OH(1.2L) was added N-bromosuccinimide(392 g, 2.203 mol). Then the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture was added 1L water to form yellow precipitation then filtered. The filtered cake was washed with a little amount of CH3OH/H2O=1/1 to yield 80 g light yellow crystals, which is 1-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone. Under ice bath, sodium methoxide(73 g, 1.360 mol) was dissolved in CH3OH (1L). Then under nitrogen protection, 1-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (80 g, 0.272 mol) and CuCl(27 g,0.272 mol) was added to the solution quickly followed by DMF(0.5L). The brown suspension was heated to 363 K overnight until LC—MS showed complete. The mixture was neutralized with concentrated HCl to pH5–6, filtered through celite. Then it was extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The combined organic phase was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo to obtain crude product. Pure title compound was obtained by column chromatography. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained through slow evaporation of a solution of the pure title compound in ethyl acetate/n-hexane (1/4 by volume)(Aalten et al., 1989).

Refinement top

All H atoms were found on difference maps, with C—H = 0.95 or 0.98, O—H = 0.84 Å and included in the final cycles of refinement using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(C, O) for the methyl and hydroxyl H atoms.

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.
