In the anion of the title compound, C7H10N+·C9H3Br4O4−·CH3O, the dihedral angles formed by the benzene ring and the mean planes of the carboxylate and methoxycarbonyl groups are 74.8 (5) and 75.0 (5)°, respectively. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into chains along [100]. Additional stabilization is provided by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

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 and then o-toluidine (1.07 g, 0.01 mol) was added to the above solution. The solution was mixed 20 min at room temperature. This 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 from difference maps and then refined in a riding model with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å, N—H = 0.89 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O, N, methyl C).

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. 3,4,5,6-tetrabromo-2-(Methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid is an intermediate in the sytnthesis of this flame retardant. In this paper, the structure of the title compound is reported. The asymmetric unit of the title compound (I) contains one o-toluidinium cation, one 3,4,5,6-tetrabromo-2-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoate anion and one methanol solvent molecule (Fig. 1). In the anion, the dihedral angles formed by the benzene ring and the mean-planes of the carboxylate and methoxycarbonyl groups are 74.8 (5) and 75.0 (5) °, respectively. The bond lengths and angles are in agreement with those which are related in ethylammonium 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrabromobenzoate methanol solvate (Li, 2011) and in ethane-1,2-diammonium bis(2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrabromobenzoate) methanol solvate (Liang, 2008). In the crystal, intermolecular N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds link the components of the structure into one-dimensional chains along [100] (Fig. 2). Additional stabilization is provided by weak intermolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonds.
