The title enaminoketone, C11H10Br2FNO, has a roughly planar pentenone chain; the maximum displacement of an atom from the pentenone plane is 0.071 (4) Å. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the pentenone unit is 77.2 (1)°. Intermolecular C—H⋯Br and C—H⋯O interactions, as well as an intramolecular N—H⋯O interaction, are observed. In both methyl groups, each H atom is disordered equally over two sites.

A solution of acetylacetone (11.15 g, 0.1113 mol), 2,6-dibromo-4-fluoroaniline (26.94 g, 0.1002 mol) and 2 drops of H2SO4(conc.) in 150 ml benzene was refluxed for 24 h in a Dean-Stark trap, filtered and left to crystallize. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained in 30.80 g (87.59%) yield. This compound is stable in air and light over a period of several months.
All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95 and 0.98 Å for Csp2—H and C(methyl)—H, respectively, N—H = 0.85 Å; Uiso(H) = kUeq(carrier atom), where k = 1.2 for Csp2—H and 1.5 for all other H atoms. The methyl groups were positioned to fit the difference electron density and the groups were then refined as rigid rotors. In both methyl groups each H atom is disordered equally over two sites.

Experimental. The intensity data was collected on a Bruker X8 ApexII 4 K Kappa CCD diffractometer using an exposure time of 5 s/frame. A total of 1849 frames were collected with a frame width of 0.5° covering up to θ = 26.83° with 99.9% completeness accomplished. |
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. |

A well known system in organometallic chemistry is the β-diketone compound AcacH (acetylacetone; or when coordinated acetylacetonato, acac-). A multitude of derivatives have been synthesized to date, with enaminoketones being one type. Enaminoketones contain nitrogen and oxygen atoms as well as an unsaturated C═C bond, making these electron-rich compounds of interest in various fields including liquid crystals (Pyżuk et al., 1993), fluorescence studies (Xia et al., 2008) as well as the formation of complexes of medical interest (Tan et al., 2008; Chen & Rhodes, 1996). It also has significant application possibilities in catalysis (Nair et al., 2002; Van Aswegen et al., 1991; Steyn et al., 1992, 1997; Otto et al., 1998; Roodt & Steyn, 2000; Brink et al., 2010). Enaminoketones readily coordinate to rhodium to form carbonyl species (Venter et al., 2009a, 2009b).
The title compound (Fig. 1) is a derivative of 4-(phenylamino)pent-3-en-2-one whose crystal structure has already been published (Shaheen et al., 2006) and forms part of an ongoing investigation on the influence of electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents on the benzene unit of these types of enaminoketones (Table 2; Venter et al., 2010a, 2010b). The position of the substituents has an influence on the dihedral angle (angle between the benzene ring and the N—C—C—C—O plane) of the compounds, with compounds containing substituents on the ortho-position having larger dihedral angles. The N···O distance is larger for compounds containing electron-withdrawing substituents than for compounds containing electron-donating substituents. The C2—C3 distance of 1.355 (5) Å, versus the C3—C4 bond distance of 1.432 (5) Å indicates an unsaturated bond in the pentenone backbone. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and pentenone unit is 77.2 (1)°.
Intermolecular C—H···Br and C—H···O interactions as well as an intramolecular N—H···O interaction are observed. There is also a short Br···Br contact of 3.496 (1)Å for Br12···Br16(1/2-x, 1-y, z-1/2).
