In the title compound C11H9BrCl2O2, which represents the Z isomer, the methylacrylate moiety is essentially planar within 0.039 (2) Å and has an extended trans configuration. The benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 28.3 (1)° with the mean plane of the methylacrylate moiety. The crystal packing is characterized by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding and halogen–halogen interactions [Cl⋯Cl = 3.486 (3) Å], resulting in the formation of R22(11) ring motifs and connecting the molecules into chains propagating along the b axis.

To a stirred solution of methyl 2-((2,4-dichlorophenyl)(hydroxy)methyl) acrylate (4 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (15 ml), 48% aqueous HBr (0.68 ml) was added at room temperature. The reaction mixture was cooled to 273 K and then catalytic amount of concentrated H2SO4 was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred well at room temperature for about 24 hrs. After the completion of the reaction (confirmed by TLC analysis), the reaction mixture was poured into water and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 10 ml). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (10 ml) and concentrated. The crude product thus obtained was purified by
(EtOAc/Hexane, 2–6%) to provide (Methyl (2Z)-2-(bromomethyl)-3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl) prop-2-enoate) in 93% yield, as a yellow crystalline solid.Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 - 0.97 Å and refined in riding model with fixed isotropic displacement parameters: Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for aromatic and methylene groups Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O) for methyl group. The rotation angles for methyl group were optimized by least squares.

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. |

Cinnamic acid and its derivatives are important compounds because of their agrochemical and medical applications (De Fraine & Martin, 1991). Also they possess significant antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (Xiao et al. 2008).
X-ray analysis established the molecular structure and atom connectivity of the title compound, as illustrated in Fig. 1. Its methylacrylate part is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.0390 (24) Å for atom C8 and forms dihedral angle of 28.25 (9) ° with the phenyl ring C1–C6. The methylacrylate moiety adopts an extended conformation as evident from the torsion angle values [C7–C8–C9–O1 = 4.7 (4), C7–C8–C9–O2 = 175.2 (2), C8–C9–O2–C10 = -178.8 (2) and O1–C9–O2–C10 = 1.3 (4) °]. The reasons for the extended conformation were discussed earlier (Schweizer and Dunitz, 1982).
The phenyl ring (C1–C6) and the carbonyl group of the acrylate are (+)syn-periplanar to each other with the torsion angle of C7–C8–C9–O1 = 4.7 (4) °. The carbonyl group of the acrylate and the methyl bromide group are (-)anti-periplanar to each other with the torsion angle of C11–C8–C9–O1 = -171.8 (2) °. The least square plane of methyl bromide group forms dihedral angles of 81.44 (17) and 82.48 (15) ° with the phenyl ring and the acrylate group, respectively, being almost orthogonal to both. The chlorine atom Cl1 is slightly deviating from the phenyl ring plane (C1–C6) – by -0.033 (1) Å. The title compound exhibits structural similarities with an earlier reported related structure (Karthikeyan et al. 2012).
The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C2—H2···O1i hydrogen bond and halogen interation of type I mode represented by Cl1···Cl2i contact [d = 3.486 (3) Å, θ = 151.68 (6) °] which form R22(11) ring motifs which in turn, connect the molecules to form bands parallel to [0 1 0] (Schmidt et al. 2011, Johnson & Lemmerer, 2012). The symmetry code: (i) x,-1 + y,z. The packing view of the title compound is shown in Fig.2.
