In the title compound, C17H19NO2, the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 26.02 (5)°. One phenol O atom is deprotonated and the N atom of the azomethine unit carries the H atom, forming an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The packing is stabilized by an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond.

2-Amino-4-tert-butylphenol (3.07 g, 18.6 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (100 ml). This solution was heated slowly to 313 K and after a few minutes salicylaldehyde (2.27 g, 1.96 ml, 18.6 mmol) was added with a syringe. The reaction mixture was boiled at reflux temperature for 1.5 h. After that time a red solution was formed. The solution was concentrated in a vacuum to a small volume (30 ml) until a red crystalline precipitate deposited. The precipitate was filtered off and washed with ethanol. After drying, the product was purified by recrystallization with ethanol. Red prisms (4.38 g, 87.6%, m.p. 415 K). NMR (CDCl3, 300 K, TMS): 1H: δ=12,37 (s, OH), 8.64 (s, CH—N), 7.41–6.92 (m, CHaromatic), 1.33 (s, C(CH3)3); 13C: 163.5 (C1), 160.5 (C3), 147.4 (C9), 144.0 (C12), 135.0, 133.4, 132.5, 125.6, 119.4, 119.3, 117.2, 115.4, 115.4 (9 signals for aromatic C), 34.3 (C14), 31.5 (C15—C17).
Hydrogen atoms bonded to C were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95 Å for Csp2 and 0.98 for methyl. Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.2 for Csp2 and 1.5 for methyl. The amino H atom was located by difference Fourier synthesis and freely refined.
Recently, we are working on silicon and titanium complexes with tridentate O,N,O-ligands (Böhme & Günther, 2006; Böhme, Wiesner & Günther, 2006; Böhme & Günther, 2007). The title compound, C17H19NO2, was prepared in order to extend the series of available ligands. The preparation of the title compound was performed according to methods described in the literature for the parent compound salicyclidene-o-aminophenol ("salopH2") (Freeman and White, 1956; Pettinari et al., 2001) by reaction of salicyclaldehyde and 2-amino-4-tert-butylphenol in ethanol. The molecule is non-planar with a dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of 26.02 (5)°. The atom H3 forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the phenolic oxygen atom O1 and N1 of the azomethine unit. The hydrogen atom H3 is localized at a distance of 0.94 (2) Å from N1. This hints to the presence of the keto-amine form. The presence of a quinoidal structure is further supported by the shortening of the bond O1—C3 to 1.296 (1) Å and the lengthening of the adjacent C—C bonds in the phenyl ring [C2—C3 1.437 (2), C3—C4 1.426 (2) Å] (Nazir et al., 2000). There are few structure reports of Schiff-bases with oxygen in ortho-position where the intramolecular bridging hydrogen atom is localized at the nitrogen atom (e.g. Pradeep, 2005; Dubs et al., 2000; Hopfl et al., 1998). The crystal packing is stabilized by a hydrogen bond O2—H2···O1 forming a helix along the crystallographic 21 axis.

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. |

Recently, we are working on silicon and titanium complexes with tridentate O,N,O-ligands (Böhme & Günther, 2006; Böhme, Wiesner & Günther, 2006; Böhme & Günther, 2007). The title compound, C17H19NO2, was prepared in order to extend the series of available ligands. The preparation of the title compound was performed according to methods described in the literature for the parent compound salicyclidene-o-aminophenol ("salopH2") (Freeman and White, 1956; Pettinari et al., 2001) by reaction of salicyclaldehyde and 2-amino-4-tert-butylphenol in ethanol. The molecule is non-planar with a dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of 26.02 (5)°. The atom H3 forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the phenolic oxygen atom O1 and N1 of the azomethine unit. The hydrogen atom H3 is localized at a distance of 0.94 (2) Å from N1. This hints to the presence of the keto-amine form. The presence of a quinoidal structure is further supported by the shortening of the bond O1—C3 to 1.296 (1) Å and the lengthening of the adjacent C—C bonds in the phenyl ring [C2—C3 1.437 (2), C3—C4 1.426 (2) Å] (Nazir et al., 2000). There are few structure reports of Schiff-bases with oxygen in ortho-position where the intramolecular bridging hydrogen atom is localized at the nitrogen atom (e.g. Pradeep, 2005; Dubs et al., 2000; Hopfl et al., 1998). The crystal packing is stabilized by a hydrogen bond O2—H2···O1 forming a helix along the crystallographic 21 axis.
