The title compound, C17H18N2O3, is approximately planar, owing in part to an intramolecular bifurcated O—H⋯(N,O) hydrogen bond; the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 23.86 (9)°. In the crystal struture, centrosymmetrically related molecules associate into dimers via the eight-membered carboxylate {⋯H—O—C=O}2 synthon.

2-Aminobenzoic acid (2.0 g, 14.58 mmol) was mixed with HCl (5 ml) and water (20 ml) and digested in a water bath for 1 h. The hydrochloride was cooled to 5 ° C and diazotized with ice-cold aqueous NaNO2 solution (1.1 g, 15.95 mmol, 10 ml). The cold diazonium salt solution was added slowly to 4-tert-butyl-phenol (2.19 g, 14.58 mmol), previously dissolved in a NaOH solution (4.0 g) in water (100 ml) under vigorous stirring. A deep-red colour developed almost immediately and stirring was continued for 1 h. The reaction mixture was kept overnight in a refrigerator followed by 2 h at room temperature and then acidified with acetic acid. The brown coloured precipitate was filtered, washed several times with water to remove soluble starting materials, and then dried in air. The dried mass was suspended in water, dissolved in dilute NaOH solution and filtered. The filtrate was collected, precipitated with dilute acetic acid and filtered. The orange-red precipitate was then washed thoroughly with water until the washings were neutral and dried in air. The dried precipitate was boiled in hot hexane, filtered and dried in vacuo. Several recrystallization of the precipitate from methanol yielded red plates of (I) (2.50 g, 40.3%), m.pt. 453–455 K.

All C-bound H atoms were included in the riding-model approximation, with C—H = 0.95 to 0.98 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C). The hydroxyl-H atom were located from a difference map and included so that O—H = 0.84 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

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. |

2-Aminobenzoic acid reacts with 4-tert-butyl-phenol to form the title compound (I), Fig. 1, which was prepared during an on-going study of the coordination chemistry of such molecules (Basu Baul et al., 2007) with organotin species (Tiekink, 1991; Willem et al., 1998). The molecule is approximately planar as seen in the value of the dihedral angle formed between the two aromatic residues of 23.86 (9)°. Small twists in the molecule are indicated by the N2–N1–C2–C3 and N1–N2–C8–C9 torsion angles of -18.1 (3) and -2.6 (3)°, respectively. The conformation is stabilized by intramolecular O—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonding interactions, Table 1. In the crystal packing, centrosymmetric molecules associate via the eight-membered carboxylate {···H—O—C=O}2 synthon.
