(Received 20 November 2007; accepted 29 November 2007; online 6 December 2007)

In the title mol­ecule, C18H20N2O4, which resides on a crystallographic centre of inversion (at the centre of the N—N bond), all non-H atoms apart from the meth­oxy substituent are approximately coplanar. The structure displays intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding.

Comment top

In bis Schiff base systems derived from hydrazine, the two chelating sites are connected directly by a single bond, (Saroja et al. 1995, Sreerama et al. 2005, 2007, Tian et al. 2007). However, To date, there has been no crystal structure report of the compound 2,2'-(1E,1'E)-1,1'-(hydrazine-1,2-diylidene)bis(ethan-1-yl-1-ylidene)bis(4-methoxyphenol). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1).

In the title compound (Fig. 1), all bond lengths and angles are normal. Apart from the methoxy substituent, all non-H atoms of the molecule are coplanar to within 0.029 Å. In the crystal structure, intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds are observed.

Experimental top

A mixture of 1-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (166 mg, 1 mmol), hydrazine sulfate (67 mg, 0.5 mmol) and triethylamine (153 mg, 1.5 mmol) in alcohol (10 ml) was heated to reflux for 32 h. After cooling, the precipitate was filtrated and washed with water to afford the product in 60% yield. Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of the solid in ethyl acetate at room temperature for 10 d.

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.97 Å (for CH2 groups) and 0.96 Å (for CH3 groups), their isotropic displacement parameters were set to 1.2 times (1.5 times for CH3 groups) the equivalent displacement parameter of their parent atoms.

Special details top

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.
