In the title molecule, C16H9NO5S, there is an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the quinolone carbonyl O atom and a carboxyl OH group. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl group of the quinolone carboxyl group, and a second carboxyl group on the thiazeto moiety lead to the formation of chains propagating along [201] and perpendicular to the π-stacks of molecules.

To a mixture of ethyl 2-{[2- ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)thio)-4-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline-3-carboxylate (1 mmol) and K2CO3 (2.8 mmol) in dry DMF (25 ml) under a nitrogen atmosphere was added 1,2-dibromopropane (2.8 mmol) along with a catlytic amount of KI. The reaction mixture was heated at 343 K for 24 h, and then poured into ice-H2O. The resulting thiazetoquinoline derivative was collected by filtration. The separated product was reacted with sodium hydroxide (2.2 mmol) in water (20 ml) and heated at 373 K for 3–4 h. After being cooled, the reaction mixture was neutralized with hydrochloric acid (1 mol/L), extracted with CH2Cl2, dried over MgSO4, and then evaporated. The obtained solid was purified by recrystallization from ethanol to afford the title compound as a yellowish white powder. Mp. 508 K, yield = 39%. 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR data are given in the archived CIF.
The OH H-atoms, H3 and H5a, were located from difference Fourier maps, and were refined with distance restraints: O-H = 0.96 (3) Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O). The C-bound H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: C-H = 0.95, 0.98, 0.99 and 1.0 Å for H-aromatic, H-methyl, H-methylene and methine H-atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = k × Ueq(parent C-atom), where k = 1.5 for H-methyl and k = 1.2 for all other H-atoms.

Experimental. Spectroscopic data: 1H-NMR: (500 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ= 8.27(1H, d, J=8.8), 8.25(1H, d, J=8.4), 8.17(1H, d, J=7.5), 8.02(1H, d, J=8.80), 7.83(1H, dd, J=11.0, 4.0), 7.81–7.76(1H, m), 7.73(1H, s)}. 13C-NMR: (500 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ= 175.76, 165.64, 165.25, 164.26, 136.09, 135.26, 129.58, 128.97, 127.58, 126.05, 122.67, 122.33, 121.53, 121.15, 103.64, 70.43. |
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. |

4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives (quinolones) are an important class of antibacterial agents, and a significant market exists for thiazetoquinoline antibiotics (Matsuoka et al.,1999; Ito et al., 1992; Ito et al., 1994; Ozaki et al., 1991). To this end, the title comound was obtained from the reaction of ethyl 2-{[2- ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)thio)-4-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline-3-carboxylate with 1,2-dibromopropane in the presence of a catalytic amount of KI, followed by saponification using sodium hydroxide.
The molecular structure of the title molecule is shown in Fig. 1. It exhibits intra- (O5—H5a···O1) and intermolecular (O3—H3···O4i) hydrogen bonding (Table 1 and Fig. 2) leading to a chain-like arrangement of molecules which run along [201] and perpendicular to the π stacks (Fig. 2). Centroid-centroid distances range from 3.560 (2) to 3.688 (2) Å with angles of elevation between 19.56 and 24.39° (Table 2), while the inter-planar distance, as defined by the adjacent 14-atom (N1,C1—C13) ring system is 3.34 (1) Å.
