The title compound, C9H10Br2O2, crystallizes with two molecules in the The two molecules are essentially planar with slight differences in the (Br)C—C—O—C(H3) torsion angles [−176.7 (2) and −172.8 (2)° in one molecule and 174.8 (2) and 179.9 (2)° in the other]. The consists of sheets of molecules linked through Br⋯Br [3.3547 (4), 3.3703 (4) and 3.5379 (4) Å] interactions, which are in turn connected through π–π interactions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.5902 (14) and 3.5956 (14) Å.

To a solution of 1,3-dimethyl-5-methylbenzene (1.0 g, 6.578 mmol,1 eq.) in water (40 ml), bromine (3.1 ml, 39.473 mmol, 6.0 eq.) was added at 0 oC and the resultant solution refluxed at 110 oC for 12 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC using EtOAc/ Hexane (5/95, Rf = 0.6). After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (30 ml) and washed with 20 ml of water. The organic layer was separated and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford a crude mixture of dibromo and tribromo-compound. This was purified by
using 100% hexane. Colourless crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvents from solutions of the title compound in a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane to yield the title compound with a m.p. of 165–167 °C.1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ (p.p.m.): 6.42 (1H, s), 3.90 (6H, s), 2.61 (3H, s). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ (p.p.m.): 155.9, 139.4, 105.9, 95.0, 56.7, 24.3
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms. The carboxyl H atoms were located from the difference map and allowed to ride on their parent atoms. All H atoms were refined isotropically.
The title compound (I), is an important precursor in the synthesis of 2,4-dihydroxy-1,3-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzene, a key intermediate in the synthesis of Drimiopsin A (Koorbanally et al., 2004).
The two molecules are essentialy planar with a mean plane deviation of -0.010 (1)°, -0.018 (1)°, 0.031 (1)° and 0.003 (1)° for Br1 to Br4 respectively. All bond distances and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) (Fig 1).
In the crystal, molecules are connected through three diferent Br···Br (Br1···Br1 = 3.3547 (4), Br2···Br2 = 3.3703 (4) and Br3···Br4 = 3.5379 (4) Å, Symmetry codes: 1 - x, -y, 2 - z; 1 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z; -1 + x, y, z) intermolecular interactions and a Br···O interaction (3.2657 (18) Å Symmetry code: -1 + x, y, z) resulting in sheets along the ab face. These sheets are in turn connected through π···π interactions with distances between 3.5902 (14) and 3.5956 (15) Å (Symmetry code: x, y, 1 - z).

Experimental. Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.96 Å for Me H atoms and 0.93 Å for aromatic H atoms; Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (1.5 for Me groups)] and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation. |
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 Following Model ALERTS were generated - (Acta-Mode) <<< Format: alert-number_ALERT_alert-type_alert-level text 112_ALERT_2_B ADDSYM Detects Additional (Pseudo) Symm.

The title compound (I), is an important precursor in the synthesis of 2,4-dihydroxy-1,3-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzene, a key intermediate in the synthesis of Drimiopsin A (Koorbanally et al., 2004).
The two molecules are essentialy planar with a mean plane deviation of -0.010 (1)°, -0.018 (1)°, 0.031 (1)° and 0.003 (1)° for Br1 to Br4 respectively. All bond distances and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) (Fig 1).
In the crystal, molecules are connected through three diferent Br···Br (Br1···Br1 = 3.3547 (4), Br2···Br2 = 3.3703 (4) and Br3···Br4 = 3.5379 (4) Å, Symmetry codes: 1 - x, -y, 2 - z; 1 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z; -1 + x, y, z) intermolecular interactions and a Br···O interaction (3.2657 (18) Å Symmetry code: -1 + x, y, z) resulting in sheets along the ab face. These sheets are in turn connected through π···π interactions with distances between 3.5902 (14) and 3.5956 (15) Å (Symmetry code: x, y, 1 - z).
