In the title compound, C12H15BrN2O2, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the mean plane of the amide grouping is 77.7 (8)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur, and the packing is further supported by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br interactions and weak π–π ring stacking interactions.

A mixture of 2-bromo-5-methoxybenzohydrazide (2.45 g, 0.01 mol) and ethyl methyl ketone(1.44 g, 0.02 mol) in 20 ml of ethanol containing a drop of dilute sulfuric acid was refluxed for about 2 h (Scheme 2). On cooling, the solid separated was filtered and recrystallized from ethyl methyl ketone. M.P.: 385 K. Analysis for C12H15BrN2O2: Found (Calculated): C: 48.14 (48.18); H: 5.02 (5.05%); N: 9.31 (9.36%).
All of the H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with N—H = 0.88, C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5 Ueq(C,N).

are useful precursors in the synthesis of several heterocyclic systems (Narayana et al. 2005; 2005a). Some substituted are reported to exhibit carcinostatic activity against several types of tumors (Cajocorius et al. 1977) and also possess antimicrobial activity. It is also used as an intermediate in many pharmaceutically important compounds (Liu et al. 2006). In continuation with our studies on the structures of and their (Sarojini et al. 2007a, 2007b, 2007c, 2007d; Butcher et al. 2007) a new Schiff base, (I), C12H15BrN2O2, has been synthesized and its is now reported.In the title compound, C12H15BrN2O2, (Fig. 1), the 2-bromo and 5-methoxy groups are in the plane of the benzene ring. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the carbonyl group (–C6—C8(O2)—N1—N2-) and benzene ring is 77.7 (8)°. The C1—C6—C8—O2 and C1—C6—C8—N1 torsion angles (-101.1 (3)° & -103.7 (3)°) support this observation. Crystal packing is supported by a collection of intermediate N1—H1A—O2 (-x,-y + 2,-z + 1) intermolecular interactions (see Table 1) which produces a cooperative network of infinite O—H···O—H···O—H chains arranged diagonally along the (101) plane of the π-π ring stacking interactions at 3.869 (1)Å (2 - x,1 - y,1 - z; slippage = 1.43 (2) Å, where Cg1 = C1—C6), collectively, slightly influence crystal packing in this crystalline environment.
(Fig. 2). In addition, weak intermolecular C10—H10A···O2 (-x,-y + 2,-z + 1), C11—H11A···O1 (-x + 1, y - 1/2,-z + 1/2), C7—H7B···O2 (-x,-y + 2,-z) and C10—H10A···Br (x,-y + 3/2,z1/2) interactions (Table 1) along with Cg1···Cg1After a MOPAC AM1 computational calculation (Schmidt, 2007), the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the carbonyl group (–C6—C8(O2)—N1—N2-) and benzene ring becomes 84.0 (8)°, significantly greater that the 77.7 (8)° seen in the crystal. This supports the observation of a collective action of the intermediate and weak hydrogen bond interactions along with weak intermolecular π-π stacking interactions which influence crystal packing stability.

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. |

Hydrazides and the corresponding Schiff bases are useful precursors in the synthesis of several heterocyclic systems (Narayana et al. 2005; 2005a). Some substituted hydrazides are reported to exhibit carcinostatic activity against several types of tumors (Cajocorius et al. 1977) and also possess antimicrobial activity. It is also used as an intermediate in many pharmaceutically important compounds (Liu et al. 2006). In continuation with our studies on the structures of hydrazides and their Schiff bases (Sarojini et al. 2007a, 2007b, 2007c, 2007d; Butcher et al. 2007) a new Schiff base, (I), C12H15BrN2O2, has been synthesized and its crystal structure is now reported.
In the title compound, C12H15BrN2O2, (Fig. 1), the 2-bromo and 5-methoxy groups are in the plane of the benzene ring. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the carbonyl group (–C6—C8(O2)—N1—N2-) and benzene ring is 77.7 (8)°. The C1—C6—C8—O2 and C1—C6—C8—N1 torsion angles (-101.1 (3)° & -103.7 (3)°) support this observation. Crystal packing is supported by a collection of intermediate N1—H1A—O2 (-x,-y + 2,-z + 1) intermolecular interactions (see Table 1) which produces a cooperative network of infinite O—H···O—H···O—H chains arranged diagonally along the (101) plane of the unit cell (Fig. 2). In addition, weak intermolecular C10—H10A···O2 (-x,-y + 2,-z + 1), C11—H11A···O1 (-x + 1, y - 1/2,-z + 1/2), C7—H7B···O2 (-x,-y + 2,-z) and C10—H10A···Br (x,-y + 3/2,z1/2) interactions (Table 1) along with Cg1···Cg1 π-π ring stacking interactions at 3.869 (1)Å (2 - x,1 - y,1 - z; slippage = 1.43 (2) Å, where Cg1 = C1—C6), collectively, slightly influence crystal packing in this crystalline environment.
After a MOPAC AM1 computational calculation (Schmidt, 2007), the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the carbonyl group (–C6—C8(O2)—N1—N2-) and benzene ring becomes 84.0 (8)°, significantly greater that the 77.7 (8)° seen in the crystal. This supports the observation of a collective action of the intermediate and weak hydrogen bond interactions along with weak intermolecular π-π stacking interactions which influence crystal packing stability.
