To a solution of 4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol (217.4 mmol, 30 g) and NaBr (217.4 mmol, 22.17 g) in acetone (600 ml), a solution of oxone (200 g) in water (1 L) was added dropwise at 263 K within 3 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by
(TLC, hexane/ethyl acetate 6:4), and when the reaction was over (complete consumption of the substrate), AcOEt (500 ml) was added to the mixture. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with two 300 mL portions of AcOEt. The combined organic solutions were washed with water (300 ml), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 (100 g), and evaporated. The monobrominated product, obtained in almost quantitative yield (47.1 g), appeared to be spectroscopically pure, white solid (Bovicelli et al., 2007). Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93, 0.98 and 0.97 Å for aromatic, methine and methylene H atoms, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (or 1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq(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. |

The title compound is used as the key intermediate in the synthesis of hydroxytyrosol (Bovicelli et al., 2007). As a part of our studies on the synthesis of hydroxytyrosol we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the molecules of the title compound, (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles agree very well with the corresponding bond lengths and angles reporeted in a structure containing the title compound as its fragment (Mewett et al., 2009).
In the crystal structure, O—H···O and O—H···Br type hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 1) link the molecules into ribbons extended along the a-axis (Fig. 2). The two molecules of the title compound in the asymmetric unit are identical. The torsion angles O1/C1/C2/C3 and C1/C2/C3/C8 are 61.7 (12) and -100.6 (11)°, respectively, in one molecule. The corresponding torion angles in the other molecule are 61.5 (11) and -101.5 (11)° (for O3/C9/C10/C11 and C9/C10/C11/C12, respectively).
