The title compound, C7H4BrNO3, was isolated as a by-product while attempting to prepare a diselenide. There is a close intramolecular Br⋯O contact [2.984 (2) Å]. The molecules form loosely associated dimers held together by weak intermolecular Br⋯O interactions with the nitro O atoms [Br⋯O = 3.179 (3) Å]. As a result of these interactions, there is also a close Br⋯Br intermolecular contact [3.8714 (6) Å]. In addition, there are weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions. The combination of these interactions produces sheets which propagate in the (210) and (10) directions perpendicular to c.

The title compound 1, C7H4NO3Br, was isolated as a by-product while attempting to prepare diselenide 2 by reacting 2-bromo-3-nitrobenzylalcohol with disodium diselenide (Wirth & Fragale, 1997). Presumably, the formation of 1 takes place during
on silica gel where the alcohol function is oxidized to the aldehyde function. It has been prepared previously by a different routes (Rahman & Scrowston, 1984; Sienkowska et al. 2000).Crystal suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained from CH2Cl2/ethyl acetate.
The stucture of the title compound, (I), is shown below. Dimensions are available in the archived CIF.
The title compound 1, C7H4NO3Br, was isolated as a by-product while attempting to prepare diselenide 2 by reacting 2-bromo-3-nitrobenzylalcohol with disodium diselenide (Wirth & Fragale, 1997) as shown in scheme 1. Presumably, the formation of 1 takes place during
on silica gel where the alcohol function is oxidized to the aldehyde function. The preparation (but not the structure) of the title compound by different routes has been previously reported (Rahman & Scrowston, 1984; Sienkowska et al., 2000). In 1, with two withdrawing ortho groups present, the 2-position is highly susceptible to nucleophilic substitution by Na2Se2, Na2Te2, Na2Se to afford a series of novel chalcogen compounds (Singh et al. 2009). In this paper we report the structure of the precursor.The bond lengths and angles in the title compound are within the normal ranges for related compounds (Allen et al., 2002). When chalcogens (Se, Te) are present in the 2-position in place of bromine there is an intramolecular chalcogen (Se/Te···oxygen(aldehyde/nitro)) interaction (Singh et al. 2009). It was of interest to see whether the bromo analog will interact intramolecularly with the nitro/aldehyde donor groups. There is a close intramolecular Br···O contact of 2.984 (2) Å. The molecules form loosely associated dimers held together by weak intermolecular Br···O interactions with the nitro O atoms (Br···O 3.179 (3) Å, see Figure 1). Similar interactions have been previously reported (Jones & Lozano, 2004; Kruszynski, 2007; Pedireddi et al., 1992; Xie et al., 2009). As a result of these interactions there is also a close Br···Br intermolecular contact (3.8714 (6) Å) as has been commonly observed [42 examples found in a search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002)]. In addition there are weak intermolecular C—H···O interactions. Of the intermolecular interactions, only that between O3 and the aldehyde H is out of plane. As a result of this out-of-plane interaction the nitro group is twisted by 43.6 (4)° from the plane of the aromatic ring. The combination of these interactions produces sheets which propagate in the (2 1 0) and (-2 1 0) directions perpendicular to c as shown in Figure 2.

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. |

The title compound 1, C7H4NO3Br, was isolated as a by-product while attempting to prepare diselenide 2 by reacting 2-bromo-3-nitrobenzylalcohol with disodium diselenide (Wirth & Fragale, 1997) as shown in scheme 1. Presumably, the formation of 1 takes place during column chromatography on silica gel where the alcohol function is oxidized to the aldehyde function. The preparation (but not the structure) of the title compound by different routes has been previously reported (Rahman & Scrowston, 1984; Sienkowska et al., 2000). In 1, with two withdrawing ortho groups present, the 2-position is highly susceptible to nucleophilic substitution by Na2Se2, Na2Te2, Na2Se to afford a series of novel chalcogen compounds (Singh et al. 2009). In this paper we report the structure of the precursor.
The bond lengths and angles in the title compound are within the normal ranges for related compounds (Allen et al., 2002). When chalcogens (Se, Te) are present in the 2-position in place of bromine there is an intramolecular chalcogen (Se/Te···oxygen(aldehyde/nitro)) interaction (Singh et al. 2009). It was of interest to see whether the bromo analog will interact intramolecularly with the nitro/aldehyde donor groups. There is a close intramolecular Br···O contact of 2.984 (2) Å. The molecules form loosely associated dimers held together by weak intermolecular Br···O interactions with the nitro O atoms (Br···O 3.179 (3) Å, see Figure 1). Similar interactions have been previously reported (Jones & Lozano, 2004; Kruszynski, 2007; Pedireddi et al., 1992; Xie et al., 2009). As a result of these interactions there is also a close Br···Br intermolecular contact (3.8714 (6) Å) as has been commonly observed [42 examples found in a search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002)]. In addition there are weak intermolecular C—H···O interactions. Of the intermolecular interactions, only that between O3 and the aldehyde H is out of plane. As a result of this out-of-plane interaction the nitro group is twisted by 43.6 (4)° from the plane of the aromatic ring. The combination of these interactions produces sheets which propagate in the (2 1 0) and (-2 1 0) directions perpendicular to c as shown in Figure 2.
