(Received 25 August 2010; accepted 31 August 2010; online 15 September 2010)

The title compound, C₂₀H₂₄N₂O₆, was obtained as an unexpected product by the reaction of hydrazinium dithiocarbazate with 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzaldehyde in refluxing ethanol. The molecule lies on a center of inversion. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions.

Related literature

The surprising formation of the title hydrazone was probably due to the decomposition of hydrazinium dithiocarbazate in solution resulting in the formation of hydrazine, which then reacted with 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzaldehdye. Hydrazinium dithiocarbazates are known to decompose on heating (Rudorf, 2007 ). For the biological activity of Schiff bases, see: Akbar Ali et al. (2008 ); Chan et al. (2008 ).

Comment top

The compound, C₂₀H₂₄N₂O₆ (I) was obtained by the reaction of hydrazinium dithiocarbazate and 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzaldehyde in boiling ethanol. The surprising formation of the hydrazone was probably due to the decomposition of hydrazinium dithiocarbazate in solution resulting in the formation of hydrazine, which then reacted with 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzaldehdye to form the corresponding hydrazone (I). Hydrazinium dithiocarbazates are known to decompose on heating (Rudorf, 2007).

Schiff bases have attracted considerable attention because they can act as chelating agents for metal ions and many of them also exhibit useful biological activities (Akbar Ali et al., 2008; Chan et al., 2008). Although the compound has previously been reported its X-ray structure has not been provided (Praefcke et al., 1991). Hydrazones derived from the reactions of hydrazines with aldehydes or ketones are common but bis-hydrazones are not.

The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Figure 1 and its selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1. Like most thiosemicarbazones and Schiff bases, the imine moiety in [I] shows an E configuration about the C10—N1 [1.283 (2) Å] and N1A—C10A bonds. The C10—N1 and N1A—C10A bond distances also compare well with C=N double bonds in other related compounds. A comparison of the N(1)—N(1 A) distance [1.413 (3) Å] with that in an aroyl hydrazone [1.377 (3) Å] (Ji et al. 2010) shows that the bond is shorter than a single N—N bond (1.44 Å) indicating that a significant π-charge delocalization occurs along the C—N—N—C moiety. As the bond angles C6—C10—N1 (121.68°) and C6A—C10A—N1A (121.68°) are close to that of a sp²-hybridized carbon atom (ca 120°), the molecule does not have a distorted geometry. Due the fact that the molecule lies on a center of inversion the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 0.0°.

Figure 2 shows the packing of (I) in the unit cell. The packing diagram shows that there are intermolecular hydrogen bonds between one of the CH3 hydrogen atoms of one molecule with an ether oxygen of another molecule.

Experimental top

2,3,4-trimethoxybenzaldehyde (0.24 g, 1.24 mmol) dissolved in absolute ethanol (5 ml) was mixed with a solution of hydrazinium dithiocarbazate (0.93 g, 0.66 mmol) in the same solvent (45 ml). After refluxing for two hours, the resulting clear yellow solution was left to stand at room temperature for five days to afford crystalline yellow plates. The crystals were filtered, washed with cold absolute ethanol and dried in vacuo. Yield: 0.152 g (63%); m.p. 192–194 °C; IR (KBr, cm^-1): 2968, 2937, 2832, 1614, 1590, 1494, 1457, 1431, 1410, 1286, 1229, 1199. 1166, 1090, 1023, 1008, 943, 898, 809, 699, 667, 594, 540, 433; ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃, 30 °C): δ 8.92 (2H, s, CH=N), 7.84 (2H, d, ArH), 6.76 (2H, d, ArH), 3.96 (6H, s, OCH₃), 3.92 (6H, s, OCH₃), 3.90 (6H, s, OCH₃); Anal.

IR spectrum was recorded as a KBr disc with 13 mm KBr discs SPECAC accessory on a Perkin-Elmer 1600 F T IR spectrometer. ¹H NMR spectrum was run in CDCl₃ on a Varian 400-NMR spectrometer at Universiti Brunei Darussalam. Elemental analysis for C, H and N was done by the Elemental Analysis Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore. The X-ray data were collected at the X-ray Diffraction Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore using a Bruker-AXS Smart Apex CCD single-crystal diffractometer.

Special details top

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.
