The title compound, C8H7BrO3, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.055 Å). In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into C(6) chains propagating in [010]. Very weak aromatic ππ inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.984 (5) and 3.982 (5) Å] also occur.

Comment top

In the title compound (I), (Fig. 1), all bond lengths and angles are comparable with those of its isomer methyl 4-bromo-3-hydroxybenzoate (Huang et al., 2011). These isomers crystallize in the monoclinic P 21 (Z= 2) and P 21/c (Z=4) space groups, respectively.

Both these crystals have two different supramolecular O—H···O hydrogen-bond patterns. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1), forming a zigzag chain of C(6) motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995) along the [010] and are further interlinked through very weak π-π stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.984 (5) and 3.982 (5) Å] between the benzene rings, along the [1 0 0] axis (Table 1 and Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by dissolving methy-5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (1.0 g, 4.6 mmol) in DMF (10 ml) and n-hexane washed sodium hydride (0.22 g, 9.0 mmol). The whole mixture was astirred at room temperature for 45 min followed by the addition of methyl iodide (0.85 g, 5.9 mmol). The whole reaction mixture was stirred at room temprature till the completion of the reaction and poured into crushed ice in a beaker. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to 4.0 with 1 N HCl. Precipitates were produced, filtered and washed twice with distilled water and crystallized from chloroform solution as yellow-brown needles.

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and were refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C) [O—H = 0.82 Å, C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å]. Four poorly fitted reflections (0 - 1 1), (-1 0 10), (0 1 1) and (1 6 3) were omitted from the refinement.

Special details top

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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.
