The title compound, C12H10N2O6, was synthesized via a Knoevenagel condensation and crystallized from ethanol. In the crystal, strong classical intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯N contacts link the molecules into ribbons extending along [010]. Intramolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯N contacts support the planar conformation of the molecules (mean deivation 0.0270 Å).

To a stirred ethanol solution, was added 3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (4.9 g, 27 mmol), ethyl 2-cyanoacetate (3.4 g, 30 mmol) and ammonium acetate (0.75 g, 9.7 mmol). The mixture was heated to reflux for 6 h before filtration and the solid obtained was recrystallized from ethanol to afford the title compound as yellow solid, 6.1 g (81.9%); mp: 484–485 K; IR (KBr): 3446, 3232, 2223, 1687, 1602, 1543, 1284, 1221 cm-1; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) p.p.m.: 8.29, 8.10, 7.89, 4.32–4.28, 1.31–1.28; EIMS (%): 278 (M+, 17), 250 (31), 233 (23), 202 (55), 174 (31), 158 (34), 130 (25), 102 (28). The title compound was dissolved in ethanol and the solution evaporated gradually at r.t. to give single crystals of (I).
H atoms of the O—H groups were located from difference Fourier maps, they were freely refined. All H atoms of parent C atoms were placed in calculated positions and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.95 Å, and their displacement parameters set to Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

Entacapone has been found to possess anticancer activity. Structure-activity relationships of entacapone revealed that catechol, cyano moieties and trans double-bond are necessary to sustain the activity and a nitro group substituted at C5 phenyl ring is preferable, and the amide group could be modified. (Bäckström et al., 1989 & Tervo et al., 2003) In continuation of our work on synthesis, crystal structure and anticancer evaluation of E-2-cyano-(3-substituted phenyl)acylamides, (Zheng et al., 2007 & Zhou et al., 2009) we synthesized E-2-cyano-substituted phenyl acrylic acid or its esters under Knoevenagel condensation, among which only E-2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylic acid had good in vitro KB inhibitory activity at IC50 36 µM. Herein, we present the structure of the title compound (I).
The molecular structure of (I) is illustrated in Fig. 1. The phenyl ring, atoms C7 > C9, O1 > O6 and N2 are almost coplanar, which makes dihedral angles of 14.2 (2)° and 8.72 (2)° with the planes C8/N10/C1 and O5/C11/C12, respectively. As shown in Fig. 2, the molecules are linked into chains along the b axis to form ribbons which are oriented parallel to the a,b plane. There are two intermolecular and two intramolecular (O—H···O and C1—H···N) hydrogen bonds (Table 1) which contribute to the formation of parallel ribbons in the crystal lattice.
