The title compound, C24H32N2O4, is a polydentate Schiff base and reveals strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding between the hy­droxy O atom and the imino N atom, with an O⋯N distance of 2.570 (3) Å. In the crystal, a centre of inversion is located at the mid-point of the compound. The diimino­hexyl­ene chain is almost ideally in the anti conformation, with an average dihedral angle of 179.0°.

Comment top

The title compound crystallized in the triclinic space group P1, same to the analogous compounds with propylene chain (C21H26N2O4) (Ha, 2010) and butylene chain (C22H28N2O4) (Fun et al., 2009), whereas the related Schiff base with ethylene group (C20H24N2O4) crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c (Bermejo et al., 2007).

The asymmetric unit of the title molecule contains one half of the formula unit; a centre of inversion is located in the midpoint of the compound (Fig. 1). The Schiff base reveals strong intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonding between the hydroxy O atom and the imino N atom with d(O···N) = 2.570 (3) Å forming a nearly planar six-membered ring (Fig. 2, Table 1). The N1—C9/10 bond lengths and the C9—N1—C10 bond angle indicate that the imino N1 atom is sp2-hybridized [d(N1C9) = 1.271 (3) Å and d(N1—C10) = 1.469 (3) Å; <C9—N1—C10 = 121.2 (2)°]. The torsion angles for the four atoms within the diiminohexylene chain indicate that the chain is almost perfectly in the anti conformation with <N1—C10—C11—C12 = 179.1 (2)° and <C10—C11—C12—C12i (symmetry code i: 1 - x, 2 - y, 1 - z) = 178.8 (3)°.

Experimental top

1,6-Diaminohexane (0.8132 g, 6.998 mmol) and 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde (2.3265 g, 14.000 mmol) in EtOH (20 ml) were stirred for 5 h at room temperature. After addition of pentane (30 ml) to the reaction mixture, the formed precipitate was separated by filtration, washed with ether, and dried at 50 °C, to give a yellow powder (2.3563 g). Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from a toluene solution.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms [C—H = 0.95 Å (CH), 0.99 Å (CH2) or 0.98 Å (CH3) and O—H = 0.84 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C, O)].

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.
