In the title compound, C15H11BrO3, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 72.59 (6)°. In the crystal, pairs of C—H⋯π contacts form inversion dimers. Additional C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R21(6) ring motifs and stack these dimers along the b axis. Short intermolecular Br⋯O contacts of 3.254 (3) Å are also observed and link the stacks into a three-dimensional network.

All the chemicals used were of analytical reagent grade and were used directly without further purification. The title compound was synthesized according to an already reported method (Shwu-Jiuan & Mei-Hua, 1984). The crude product was recrystallized from an ethanol/chloroform mixture, to give colourless crystals in 78% yield.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H and C—H = 0.97 Å for methylene H and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and methylene H.

Experimental. 3-(Bromo acetyl) phenyl benzoate: it was obtained as an off-white solid; M.P: 378k; GCMS data m/e 320 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 4.46 (s 2H, Methylene-CH2),7.50 (s,1H, Ar—H), 7.52 (s,1H, Ar—H), 7.66 (s,1H, Ar—H), 7.68 (s,1H, Ar—H), 7.88 (s,1H, Ar—H), 7.90 (s,1H, Ar—H), 8.19 (d,2H, Ar—H), |
Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

3-(2-bromoacetyl)phenyl benzoate is key starting material for the synthesis of phenylephrine, (R)-3-[-1-hydroxy-2-(methylamino)ethyl]phenol. Phenylephrine is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist used primarily as a decongestant, as an agent to dilate the pupils, and to increase blood pressure.
Oral phenylephrine is extensively metabolized by monoamine oxidase (Naoto et al., 2008), an enzyme that is present in the gastrointestinal tract and in the liver. Therefore, compared to intravenous pseudoephedrine, it has a reduced and variable bioavailability, only up to 38% (Shwu-Jiuan & Mei-Hua, 1984; Jaakko & Erkki, 1959). Because phenylephrine is a directly selective α-adrenergic receptor agonist, it does not cause the release of endogenous noradrenaline, as pseudoephedrine does. Therefore, phenylephrine is less likely to cause side effects such as central nervous system stimulation, insomnia, anxiety, irritability, and restlessness (Junichi et al., 1956). Phenylephrine's effectiveness as a decongestant stems from its vasoconstriction of nasal blood vessels, thereby decreasing blood flow to the sinusoidal vessels, leading to decreased mucosal edema (D'Amico et al., 1956).
The asymmetric unit of 3-(2-bromoacetylphenyl benzoate is shown in Fig. 1. The dihedral angle between two (C3–C8) and (C10—C15) benzene rings is 72.59 (6)°. In the crystal structure a pair of C6—H6···π [Cg(2)(C10–C15) contacts form inversion dimers. Additional C4—H4···O3 and C1—H1B···O3 (Table.1) hydrogen bonds generate R12(6) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995) and stack these dimers along the b axis (Fig. 2). Short intermolecular Br1···O2 contacts, 3.254 (3) Å are also observed and link the stacks into a three dimensional network.
