In the zwitterionic title compound, C18H16N2O4, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene and indole rings is 26.38 (10)°. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked through N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into infinite chains propagating in [010].

To a 100-ml round-bottom flask were added 20 ml (3:1) methanol-water and 2 mmol of L-tryptophan (0.416 g), the mixture stirred to form a clear colorless solution, 2 mmol of 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (0.276 g) added to form a yellow clear solution. The mixture was refluxed under heating and stirring for seven hours after which the mixture was filtered and left to stand at room temperature for 12 h. Dark orange crystals which appeared, were filtered after two days and recrystallized from ethanol to yield orange blocks of (I), then left to dry. The IR showed broad peak due to O–H (carboxylic acid and phenol) stretch superimposed on the sharp band due to N–H stretch at 3500–3100 cm-1. The C=O stretch (1708 cm-1), C=N stretch (1644 cm-1), C–O stretch (1230 cm-1), O–H bends (1460 cm-1).
The N- and O-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were refined freely. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.95 or 1.00 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). In the absence of significant
effects, 1577 Friedel pairs were merged.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

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. |

Recently, we reported the crystal structure of (E)-2-(2,4-dihydroxybenzylideneammonio)-3-(1H- indol-3-yl)propanoate (Ba-Salamah et al. 2011). In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1), obtained by the reaction of L-tryptophan and 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde.
In the zwitterionic title compound, C18H16N2O4, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene and indole rings is 26.38 (10)°. Bond lengths have normal values (Allen et al., 1987). The C1 in the benzene ring and C11 in the indol ring are connected together by a chain of four atoms, C7/N1/C8/C10 which has torsion angle 101.2 (2) °. The torsion angles of the chain C8/N1/C7/C1 and N1/C8/C10/C11 are -179.0 (2) ° and 64.4 (2) °, respectively. The title molecule has a zwitterionic form with an intramolecular N1—H1N1···O3 hydrogen bond (Table 1, Fig.1) which generates an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The C7—N1 [1.295 (3) Å] and C2—O3[1.318 (3) Å] bond distances are comparable to those [1.3129 (19) and 1.2915 (17) Å; 1.310 (2) and 1.304 (2) Å;1.302 (2) and 1.316 (2) Å] observed in similar zwitterionic structures (Eltayeb et al., 2010a,b,c).
In the crystal structure of (I) as shown in Fig. 2, the molecules are linked through N—H···O, O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1). C—H···π interactions are also present; C8—H8···Cg3i = 2.70 Å, C16—H16···Cg2ii = 2.81 Å. Cg3 and Cg2 are centroids of C12—C17 and C1—C6 rings respectively, [symmetry codes: (i) = –X,-1/2+Y,1-Z; (ii) = –X,1/2+Y,-Z]. The molecules are linked into infinite one-dimensional chains along the b axis.
