The title compound was synthesized according to methods reported earlier (Zhao et al., 2009; Dong et al., 2009). A solution of 1-(4-aminophenyl)-methanal (1.21 g, 10 mmol) in methanol (15 ml) was added to a mixture of hydroxylamine sulfate (1.31 g, 10 mmol) and sodium acetate (2.0 g, 25 mmol). After refluxing for 4–5 h, the reaction was completed. The solvent was evaporated under vacuo. Demineralized water (40 ml) was added, cooled to 268–265 K and filtered, resulting in 4-aminobenzaldehyde oxime as a crystalline solid (yield; 1.18 g, 86.7%; m.p. 395–397 K). To an ethalnol solution (5 ml) of 4-aminobenzaldehyde oxime (0.1362 g, 1 mmol) was added dropwise an ethanol solution (5 ml) of 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (0.19995 g, 1 mmol). The mixture solution was stirred at 328–333 K for 5 h. After cooling to room temperature, the precipitate was filtered off, and washed successively three times with ethanol. The product was dried in vacuo and purified by recrystallization from ethanol to yield 267.5 mg (Yield, 83.8%) of solid; m.p. 490–491 K. Pale-yellow needle-like single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by slow evaporation from a solution of methanol at room temperature in about one month.
An
was determined by Flack (1983) method employing 1615 Friedel pairs. H atoms were treated as riding atoms with distances C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). The hydroxyl H-atoms were located from a difference Fourier map and were allowed to refine freely.Schiff bases have been used widely as versatile ligands in coordination chemistry (Biswas et al., 2008; Dong et al., 2010). Recently, the structures of a few Schiff base compounds have been reported (Dong et al., 2007; Dong et al., 2009). In this paper, we report the synthesis and
of the title compound, (I).In the title compound (Fig. 1) the bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges and agree very well with the corresponding bond lengths and angles reported in similar structures (Dong et al., 2007; Dong et al., 2009; Zhao et al., 2009). The mean planes of the two benzene rings are almost parallel to each other making a dihedral angle of 4.09 (1) ° with respect to each other. There is an intramolecular hydrogen bond, O1—H1···N1 (Tab. 1). Besides, intermolecular hydrogen bonds, O2—H2···N2 and C5—H5···O2 link molecules into infinite catenarian supramolecular shape (Tab. 1 & Fig. 2).

Experimental. Anal. Calc. for C14H11BrN2O2: C, 52.69; H, 3.47; N, 8.78. Found: C, 52.67; H, 3.44; N, 8.81. |
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. |

Schiff bases have been used widely as versatile ligands in coordination chemistry (Biswas et al., 2008; Dong et al., 2010). Recently, the structures of a few Schiff base compounds have been reported (Dong et al., 2007; Dong et al., 2009). In this paper, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
In the title compound (Fig. 1) the bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges and agree very well with the corresponding bond lengths and angles reported in similar structures (Dong et al., 2007; Dong et al., 2009; Zhao et al., 2009). The mean planes of the two benzene rings are almost parallel to each other making a dihedral angle of 4.09 (1) ° with respect to each other. There is an intramolecular hydrogen bond, O1—H1···N1 (Tab. 1). Besides, intermolecular hydrogen bonds, O2—H2···N2 and C5—H5···O2 link molecules into infinite catenarian supramolecular shape (Tab. 1 & Fig. 2).
