The title compound, C14H13BrN2O3S, features an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond which generates an S(6) ring motif. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 86.47 (6)°. Intermolecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O interactions link neighbouring molecules via R22(13) ring motifs, forming one-dimensional extended chains along the c axis.

p-Tosylhydrazine (2 mmol) was added to a refluxing ethanolic solution (50 ml) of 5-bromosalicylaldehyde (2 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 2 h. After cooling, the colorless crystalline solid was isolated by filtration, washed with cold ethanol, and recrystallized from an ethanol solution of (I).
H atoms bound to O1 and N2 were located from a difference Fourier map and refined freely. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding model with C—H = 0.93 - 0.96 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2-1.5Ueq(C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl group. The highest residual electron density peak (1.28 eÅ-3) was located 0.64 Å from Br1 and the deepest hole (-0.59 eÅ-3) was located 0.59 Å from Br1.

Experimental. The low-temperature data was collected with the Oxford Cyrosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment. |
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. |

Sulfonamides were the first class of antimicrobial agents to be discovered. They inhibit dihydropteroate synthetase in the bacterial folic acid pathway. Although their clinical role has diminished, they are still useful in certain situations, because of their efficacy and low cost (Krygowski et al., 1998). Sulfonamides (e.g. sulfanilamide, sulfamethoxazole, sulfafurazole) are structural analogues of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and compete with PABA to block its conversion to dihydrofolic acid. These agents are generally used in combination with other drugs to prevent or treat a number of bacterial and parasitic infections (Tierney et al., 2006). With regard to all of the above, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
Bond lengths and angles in (I), Fig. 1, are comparable with those in related structures (Mehrabi et al., 2008; Ali et al. 2007). An intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond is noted which generates a S(6) ring motif. The two benzene rings make the dihedral angle of 86.47 (6)°. Intermolecular N—H···O and C—H···O interactions link neighbouring molecules via R22(13) ring motifs to form 1-D extended chains along the c-axis, Fig. 2 and Table 1. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular N—H···O, C—H···Br, C—H···O and π···π [Cg1···Cg1 = 3.9548 (8) Å; symmetry code: 2 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z] interactions.
