In the title compound, C12H11IO4, the C and O atoms of both methoxy groups lie very close to the mean plane of the six C atoms of the benzene ring. The O and C atoms of the group lying closest to the I atom are 0.012 (3) and 0.022 (4) Å, respectively, out of the mean plane. For the other methoxy group, the corresponding distances are 0.020 (3) and 0.078 (4) Å. In the crystal, there are only very weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and O⋯I contacts [3.080 (2) Å]. The molecules are approximately parallel to (100), forming a layered structure.

To a stirred solution of 5,7-dimethoxy-4-methylcoumarin (2.20 g, 10 mmol) in 15–20 ml of methanol containing 8.2 g KOH was dropwise added to a solution of I2 (2.56 g, 10 mmol) over a period of 30 min and stirred at room temperature for about 2 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water and residual iodine was removed by washing with sodium thiosulfate. On treatment with sodium thiosulfate we obtained a precipitate which was filtered and crystallized with CHCl3—MeOH as white crystals (300 mg, m.p. 490 K). This precipitate was identified as 6,8-Diiodo-5,7-dimethoxy-4-methylcoumarin (Pereira Silva et al., 2010). The mother liquor showed the mixture of one major spot along with some minor impurity, which was removed by preparative thin layer
(benzene:acetone; 3:2). The pure compound thus obtained was crystallized with CHCl3—MeOH as shining crystals of (I) (50 mg, m.p. 523 K).All H atoms were located in a difference Fourier synthesis, placed in calculated positions and refined as riding on their parent atoms, using SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008) defaults.

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. |

Coumarin is the simplest member of the group of oxygen heterocyclics called benzo-2-pyrone. Coumarins are an important class of compounds due to their presence in natural products as well as their medicinal applications such as anti-inflammatory (Lin et al., 2006), anti-viral (Massimo et al., 2003), antioxidant (Tyagi et al., 2003), antibacterial (Nawrot-Modranka et al., 2006), antifungal (Sardari et al., 1999), anti-HIV (Huang et al., 2005) and as anti-carcinogenic (Elinos-Baez et al., 2005). Besides the wide spectrum of biological applications of coumarin and its derivatives, there are also applications as cosmetics, optical brightening agents, and laser dyes. A recent report has revealed the anion sensing ability of some coumarin derivatives. Among various coumarin derivatives, recent pharmacological evaluation of iodocoumarins as cannabinoid receptor antagonists and inverse agonists has been done. Iodocoumarins such as 8-iodo-7-hydroxycoumarin exhibited moderate activity and 8-iodo-5,7-dihydroxycoumarin displayed good antimicrobial properties with MIC values <100 µg/ml. Also, iodocoumarins had been successfully used for the optimization of reaction conditions and kinetic studies in high throughput format. Because of the biological and pharmaceutical importance of iodocoumarins, several protocols for the synthesis have been reported.
In the light of the mentioned above we planned to synthesize iodocoumarins by reaction of 5,7-dimethoxy-4-methylcoumarin with iodine in basic media (Ali & Ilyas, 1986).
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the best plane through the aromatic ring shows an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0059 Å; the O1—C2—C3—C4—C10—C9 ring shows a larger deviation from planarity, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0279 Å. The angle between these two planes is 2.85 (5)°.
The C2 atom of the carbonyl group has a distorted trigonal geometry with O2—C2—O1 [116.5 (3)°] and O2—C2—C3 [127.3 (23)°] deviating significantly from the ideal sp2 value of 120°.
The methoxy groups are almost in the same plane as the aromatic ring, as indicated by the torsion angles C12—O3—C5—C6 [1.8 (4)°] and C13—O4—C7—C6 [0.3 (4)°]. This contrasts with the geometry of 6,8-diiodo-5,7-dimethoxy-4-methylcoumarin (Pereira Silva et al., 2010), where the methoxy groups are considerably out of this plane.
The iodine atom is approximately in the plane of the benzene ring and the methyl group is only slightly out of the pyrone ring plane.
In the crystal, the molecules are linked by very weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds and O···I contacts [3.080 (2) Å.]. There are no classic hydrogen bonds. The molecules are approximately parallel to (100), forming a layered structure (Fig. 2).
