In the title compound, C10H14Br4O5, synthesized from the methoxy Schiff base N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methoxyaniline and molecular bromine, the cyclohexanone ring has a chair conformation with one of the four methoxy groups equatorially orientated with respect to the carbonyl group and the others axially orientated. The C—Br bond lengthsvary from 1.942 (4) to1.964 (4) Å. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯Ocarbonyl hydrogen-bonding interactions generate chains extending along the b-axis direction. Also present in the structure are two short intermolecular Br⋯Omethoxy interactions [3.020 (3) and 3.073 (4) Å].

Molecular bromine (0.15 g, 1.00 mmol) was added carefully to a methanolic solution (10 mL) of N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methoxyaniline (0.20 g, 1.00 mmol). The color of the reaction mixture turned immediately from yellow to red and a yellow precipitate formed after one hour of stirring. The precipitate was filtered off, washed first with acetone then with diethylether and then redissolved in deuterated methanol and kept in an NMR tube for crystallization. Crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis was obtained within 15 days by slow evaporation of the solvent.
All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.98 ° (methylene) or 0.96 Å (methyl) and Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C).
Brominated organic compounds have a broad spectrum of applications. The polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenylethers and hexabromobenzene are widely used as flame retardants. Other brominated molecules such as 1,4-dibromobenzene (1,4-DBB) and bromoxynil serve as fumigants, as intermediates in the synthesis of dyes, as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, or herbicides (Alaee et al., 2003; Czerski et al., 2005; Cupples et al., 2005). Very few examples of the synthesis and applications of compounds similar to the title compound, C10H14Br4O5, 2,2,6,6-tetrabromo-3,4,4,5-tetramethoxycyclohexanone (TBTM) have been reported in the literature (Khan et al., 2004). Our synthesis of this compound, by the reaction of the Schiff base N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methoxyaniline (PMMA) with molecular bromine in methanol has not previously been reported and its structure is reported herein.
In the racemic title compound (Fig. 1), the cyclohexanone ring has a chair conformation with one of the four methoxy groups equatorially oriented with respect to the carbonyl group and the others axially orientated. The C—Br bond lengths are variable [C—Br = 1.946 (4), 1.964 (4),1.942 (4) and 1.959 (4) Å]. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H···Ocarbonyl hydrogen-bonding interactions (Table 1) generate one-dimensional chains extending along b (Fig. 2). Also present in the structure are a number of short intramoleculat Br···O contacts [Br···O, 2.961 (3)–3.169 (4) Å] as well as two short intermolecular Br···Omethoxy interactions [Br4···O2ii, 3.020 (3) Å and Br1···O3iii, 3.073 (4) Å] [for symmetry codes: (ii) x + 1/2, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2; (iii) -x, -y + 1, -z].

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Brominated organic compounds have a broad spectrum of applications. The polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenylethers and hexabromobenzene are widely used as flame retardants. Other brominated molecules such as 1,4-dibromobenzene (1,4-DBB) and bromoxynil serve as fumigants, as intermediates in the synthesis of dyes, as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, or herbicides (Alaee et al., 2003; Czerski et al., 2005; Cupples et al., 2005). Very few examples of the synthesis and applications of compounds similar to the title compound, C10H14Br4O5, 2,2,6,6-tetrabromo-3,4,4,5-tetramethoxycyclohexanone (TBTM) have been reported in the literature (Khan et al., 2004). Our synthesis of this compound, by the reaction of the Schiff base N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methoxyaniline (PMMA) with molecular bromine in methanol has not previously been reported and its structure is reported herein.
In the racemic title compound (Fig. 1), the cyclohexanone ring has a chair conformation with one of the four methoxy groups equatorially oriented with respect to the carbonyl group and the others axially orientated. The C—Br bond lengths are variable [C—Br = 1.946 (4), 1.964 (4),1.942 (4) and 1.959 (4) Å]. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H···Ocarbonyl hydrogen-bonding interactions (Table 1) generate one-dimensional chains extending along b (Fig. 2). Also present in the structure are a number of short intramoleculat Br···O contacts [Br···O, 2.961 (3)–3.169 (4) Å] as well as two short intermolecular Br···Omethoxy interactions [Br4···O2ii, 3.020 (3) Å and Br1···O3iii, 3.073 (4) Å] [for symmetry codes: (ii) x + 1/2, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2; (iii) -x, -y + 1, -z]. The overall packing in the unit cell is shown in Fig. 3.
