(Received 9 October 2008; accepted 29 October 2008; online 8 November 2008)

In the title compound, C16H15BrN2O3, the benzohydrazide group is not planar and the mol­ecule exists in a trans configuration with respect to the methyl­idene unit. The dihedral angle between the two substituted benzene rings is 75.6 (2)°. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving carbonyl and amine functionalities, to form chains parallel to the c cell axis.

Comment top

Hydrazones derived from the condensation of aldehydes with hydrazides have been demonstrated to possess excellent biological activities (Zhong et al., 2007; Raj et al., 2007; Jimenez-Pulido et al., 2008). Due to the easy synthesis of such compounds, a great deal of hydrazones have been synthesized and structurally characterized (Yehye et al., 2008; Fun, Patil, Jebas et al., 2008; Fun, Patil, Rao et al., 2008;Yang et al., 2008; Ejsmont et al., 2008). We report herein the crystal structure of the title new compound, (I).

In the structure of the title compound (Fig. 1) the molecule exists in a trans configuration with respect to the methylidene unit. The dihedral angle between the two substituted benzene rings is 75.6 (2)°. In both the 5-bromo-2-methoxyphenyl unit and the 4-methoxyphenyl unit, the methoxy groups are nearly coplanar with the corresponding mean planes of the C1···C6 and C9···C14 rings, respectively. Atoms C16 and C15 deviate from their corresponding benzene rings by 0.058 (2) and 0.059 (2) Å respectively. The torsion angle of C7—N1—N2—C8 is 19.4 (3)°. The bond lengths and angles are found in expected ranges.

In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds involving carbonyl and amine groups (Table 1), to form chains parallel to the c axis (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The compound was prepared by refluxing 5-bromo-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (1.0 mmol) with 4-methoxybenzohydrazide (1.0 mmol) in methanol (100 ml). Excess methanol was removed from the mixture by distillation. The colorless solid product was filtered, and washed three times with methanol. Colorless block crystals of the title compound were obtained from a methanol solution by slow evaporation in air.

Refinement top

H2 was located in a difference map and refined isotropically, with N2—H2 distance restrained to 0.90 (1) Å. Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(methyl C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.
