The title compound, C13H10ClNO2, exists in a trans configuration about the central C=N bond. The two benzene rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 2.48 (10)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along [101]. Short C⋯Cl contacts [3.584 (2)–3.646 (2) Å] are observed. A short intramolecular C—H⋯O contact occurs.

The title compound was synthesized by adding 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (0.312 g, 2 mmol) to the solution of 2-aminophenol (0.218 g, 2 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml). The mixture was refluxed with stirring for half an hour. The resultant yellow-orange solution was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to give a yellow solid product. Yellow needle-shaped single crystals of the title compound suitable for x-ray
were obtained from ethanol by slow evaporation at room temperature after a few days.All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with d(O—H) = 0.82 Å and d(C—H) = 0.93 Å. The Uiso(H) values were constrained to be 1.2Ueq of the carrier atoms. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.70 Å from C5 and the deepest hole is located at 0.05 Å from H1O2.
We have been interested in synthesis of Schiff base ligands and their complexes (Eltayeb et al., 2007a,b) due to their applications such as analytical reagents for the determination of trace elements (Eltayeb & Ahmed, 2005a,b), pharmacological activities, anticancer (Dao et al., 2000), anti-HIV (Sriram et al., 2006), antibacterial and antifungal (Karthikeyan et al., 2006) activities. The title compound was used to synthesis the chelated borate catalyst (Wei & Atwood, 1998). Herein we report the
of the title Schiff base ligand (I).The molecule of (I) (Fig. 1), C13H10ClNO2, crystallizes in a trans configuration about the C═N bond [1.312 (3) Å] with a torsion angle C1–N1–C7–C8 = -179.2 (2)°. The molecule is almost planar with a dihedral angle between the two benzene rings being 2.48 (10)°. The chloro and two hydroxy groups lie on the same plane with their attached benzene rings with the r.m.s. of 0.0105 (2) Å for the seven non H atoms (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 and O1) and 0.0129 (2) Å for the eight non H atoms (C8, C9, C10, C11, C12, C13, O2 and Cl1). An intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond between the imine N atom and one hydroxy group generates an S(6) ring motif (Fig. 1 and Table 1) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The bond distances are of normal values (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with the related structure (Pu, 2008).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2) , O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) which formed between the two hydroxy O atoms link the molecules into into chains along the [101] direction. The crystal is consolidated by O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and C···Cl [3.584 (2)–3.646 (2) Å] short contacts.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

We have been interested in synthesis of Schiff base ligands and their complexes (Eltayeb et al., 2007a,b) due to their applications such as analytical reagents for the determination of trace elements (Eltayeb & Ahmed, 2005a,b), pharmacological activities, anticancer (Dao et al., 2000), anti-HIV (Sriram et al., 2006), antibacterial and antifungal (Karthikeyan et al., 2006) activities. The title compound was used to synthesis the chelated borate catalyst (Wei & Atwood, 1998). Herein we report the crystal structure of the title Schiff base ligand (I).
The molecule of (I) (Fig. 1), C13H10ClNO2, crystallizes in a trans configuration about the C═N bond [1.312 (3) Å] with a torsion angle C1–N1–C7–C8 = -179.2 (2)°. The molecule is almost planar with a dihedral angle between the two benzene rings being 2.48 (10)°. The chloro and two hydroxy groups lie on the same plane with their attached benzene rings with the r.m.s. of 0.0105 (2) Å for the seven non H atoms (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 and O1) and 0.0129 (2) Å for the eight non H atoms (C8, C9, C10, C11, C12, C13, O2 and Cl1). An intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond between the imine N atom and one hydroxy group generates an S(6) ring motif (Fig. 1 and Table 1) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The bond distances are of normal values (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with the related structure (Pu, 2008).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2) , O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) which formed between the two hydroxy O atoms link the molecules into into chains along the [101] direction. The crystal is consolidated by O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and C···Cl [3.584 (2)–3.646 (2) Å] short contacts.
