(E)-methyl 3-(3-(bromomethyl)phenyl)acrylate, (II), was firstly synthesized, (yield; 52.8%), according to a literature method (Ren et al., 2007). For the preparation of the title compound, (I), 4-bromophenol (2.0 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.2 mmol) was added to a solution of compound (II) (2.0 mmol) in acetone (30 ml). The mixture was stirred at 329 K for 5 h, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by
(silica gel with 5% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether). Colorless crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were grown from methanol.H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93, 0.97 and 0.96 Å for aromatic, methylene and methyl H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H, and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms.
Phenyl acrylate and its derivatives are important compounds because of their agrochemical and medical applications (de Fraine et al., 1991; Zhang & Ji, 1992). We report herein the
of the title compound, (I).In the molecule of (I), (Fig. 1) the bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). Rings A (C1—C6) and B (C8—C13) are, of course, planar, and they are oriented at a dihedral angle of A/B = 75.54 (17)°.
In the π-stacked dimers interact with neighbouring dimers via C–H/π stacking interactions (Table 1) (Janiak, 2000), in which both of them seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 2) and theFor general background, see: de Fraine et al. (1991); Zhang & Ji (1992); Janiak (2000). For related literature, see: Ren et al. (2007). For bond-length data, see: Allen et al. (1987). Cg2 is the centroid of atoms C1–C6.

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. |

Phenyl acrylate and its derivatives are important compounds because of their agrochemical and medical applications (de Fraine et al., 1991; Zhang & Ji, 1992). We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
In the molecule of (I), (Fig. 1) the bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). Rings A (C1—C6) and B (C8—C13) are, of course, planar, and they are oriented at a dihedral angle of A/B = 75.54 (17)°.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 2) and the π-stacked dimers interact with neighbouring dimers via C–H/π stacking interactions (Table 1) (Janiak, 2000), in which both of them seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
