A mixture of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (0.40 g, 0.0022 mol) and 5-amino-3,4-dimethylisoxazole (0.24 g, 0.0022 mol) in ethanol (15 ml) was refluxed for 5 h with stirring to give a light brown needles of title compound (I).
The H-atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl and x = 1.2 for aryl H-atoms.
Heterocycles such as nitrogen and oxygen containing compounds are abundant in nature and are of great significance to life. We herein report the synthesis and
of title compound (I, Fig. 1).The crystal structures of 4-chloro-2- [(E)-({4-[N-(3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)sulfamoyl]phenyl}iminio) methyl]phenolate (Shad et al., 2008), 4-bromo-2-((E)-{4-[(3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)sulfamoyl]phenyl} iminiomethyl)phenolate (Tahir et al., 2008), 2-[(E)-(3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)iminomethyl]phenol (Fun et al., 2010a), 1-[(E)-(3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)iminomethyl]-2-naphthol (Fun et al., 2010b) and N-[4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]-3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-amine (Asiri et al., 2010) have been published previously, which contain the 5-amino-3,4-dimethylisoxazole moiety.
In (I), the 4-bromobenzaldehyde moiety A (C1—C7/BR1) and 5-amino-3,4-dimethylisoxazole moiety B (N1/C8—C12/N2/O1) are planar with r. m. s. deviations of 0.0119 Å and 0.0128 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B is 4.89 (8)°. The title compound essentially consists of monomers. Weak intramolecular H-bonding of C—H···O type (Table 1, Fig. 1) exists and complete an S(5) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). There exists also π–π interaction between the centroids of phenyl rings at a distance of 3.7862 (14) Å [symmetry code: -x, 2 - y, 1 - z].

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

Heterocycles such as nitrogen and oxygen containing compounds are abundant in nature and are of great significance to life. We herein report the synthesis and crystal structure of title compound (I, Fig. 1).
The crystal structures of 4-chloro-2- [(E)-({4-[N-(3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)sulfamoyl]phenyl}iminio) methyl]phenolate (Shad et al., 2008), 4-bromo-2-((E)-{4-[(3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)sulfamoyl]phenyl} iminiomethyl)phenolate (Tahir et al., 2008), 2-[(E)-(3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)iminomethyl]phenol (Fun et al., 2010a), 1-[(E)-(3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)iminomethyl]-2-naphthol (Fun et al., 2010b) and N-[4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]-3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-amine (Asiri et al., 2010) have been published previously, which contain the 5-amino-3,4-dimethylisoxazole moiety.
In (I), the 4-bromobenzaldehyde moiety A (C1—C7/BR1) and 5-amino-3,4-dimethylisoxazole moiety B (N1/C8—C12/N2/O1) are planar with r. m. s. deviations of 0.0119 Å and 0.0128 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B is 4.89 (8)°. The title compound essentially consists of monomers. Weak intramolecular H-bonding of C—H···O type (Table 1, Fig. 1) exists and complete an S(5) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). There exists also π–π interaction between the centroids of phenyl rings at a distance of 3.7862 (14) Å [symmetry code: -x, 2 - y, 1 - z].
