The Schiff base of the title compound, C15H14N4O6·C3H7NO, was obtained from the condensation reaction of 3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 3.05 (10)° and intramolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate S(6) and S(5) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal, the Schiff base and dimethylformamide solvent molecules are linked by an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond.

2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (1 mmol, 0.198 g) was dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (15 ml), H2SO4(98%, 0.5 ml) was then added and The mixture was stirred for several minitutes at 351k, 3-Ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1 mmol, 0.166 g) in ethanol (8 mm l) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at refluxing temperature for 2 h. The product was isolated and recrystallized from DMF, red blocks of (I) were obtained after one week.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic), 0.97 (methylene), 0.96 Å (methyl) and N—H = 0.86 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(CH, CH2 or NH) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C).
As part of our ongoing studies of
(Zhao et al., 2010), we have synthesized the title compound, (I), and determined its crystal structure.The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig.1. The benzene ring and the 2,4-dinitro benzene ring is nearly planar, making a dihedral angle of 3.05 (10)°.
Intramolecular N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) help to establish the planar conformation of the molecule.

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. |

As part of our ongoing studies of Schiff bases (Zhao et al., 2010), we have synthesized the title compound, (I), and determined its crystal structure.
The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig.1. The benzene ring and the 2,4-dinitro benzene ring is nearly planar, making a dihedral angle of 3.05 (10)°.
Intramolecular N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) help to establish the planar conformation of the molecule.
