A mixture of 4,5,6,7-tetrabromoisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (4.64 g, 0.01 mol) and methanol (15 ml) was refluxed for 0.5 h. Ethanamine (0.73 g, 0.01 mol) was then added to the above solution, being mixed round for 10 min at room temperature. The solution was kept at room temperature for 5 d. Natural evaporation gave colourless single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis.
H atoms were initially located in a difference map and then refined in a riding model, with C—H = 0.96 Å, N—H = 0.89 Å and O—H = 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(parent atom).

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. |

4,5,6,7-Tetrabromo-2-ethylisoindoline-1,3-dione is an important flame retardant. 2-(Methoxycarbonyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrabromobenzoic acid is the intermediate of the flame retardant.
In this paper, the structure of the title compound is reported (Fig. 1). The bond lengths and angles agree with those in the similar compounds (Liang, 2008; Li, 2011). The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H···O hydrogen bonds between the 2-methylpropan-2-aminium cation and the 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrabromobenzoate anion, and by O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds between methanol, 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrabromobenzoate and 2-methylpropan-2-aminium (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
