The 7H4BrNO, has been determined, revealing a partial molecular packing disorder such that a 180° rotation of the molecule about the phenol C—O bond results in disorder of the bromine and nitrile groups. The disorder has been parameterized as a disorder of only the bromine and nitrile substituents on a unique phenol ring. An intramolecular O—H⋯Br contact occurs. In the crystal, O—H⋯Br/O—H⋯Nnitrile hydrogen bonding is present between the disordered bromine and nitrile substituents and the phenol group, forming a spiral chain about a twofold screw axis extending parallel to the b-axis direction. Within this spiral chain, the molecules also interact, forming offset face-to-face π-stacking interactions with plane-to-centroid distance of 3.487 (1) Å.

The title compound, 3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzonitrile, may be prepared by the addition of a cyano group to o-bromophenol (Anwar & Hansen, 2008; Nakai et al. 2014). It has also recently been synthesized by the one-pot conversion of the salicylaldoxime, (E)-3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde oxime, directly to 3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzonitrile (Whiting et al., 2015). 3-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzonitrile is used as a synthetic reagent in the synthesis of 3,4-fused isoquinolin-1(2H)-one analogs (Li & Chua, 2011) and ampakine heterocycles which are a promising as a therapy for neurodegenerative diseases (Mulzer & Coates, 2011). The
of an isomer of the title compound which differs only in the position of the bromine substituent, 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzonitrile, has previously been published (Oh & Tanski, 2012).3-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzonitrile, (Fig. 1), crystallizes with a partial molecular packing disorder, where the bromine and nitrile substituents ortho to the phenol group are disordered with one another via a 180° rotation of the molecule about the carbon-oxygen bond of the phenol moiety. The disorder has been modeled as a disorder of only the bromine and nitrile substituents on a unique phenol ring, where the phenolic hydroxyl itself is not disordered, and the model has been refined with the help of similarity and advanced rigid bond restraints (Thorn et al., 2012). Although the accuracy of the observed metrical parameters for the disordered groups is impacted by the ≡N distance 1.142 (4) Å (Oh & Tanski, 2012), and the unbrominated analog, o-cyanophenol, with C≡N distance 1.136 (2) Å (Beswick et al., 1996). The aromatic bromine bond lengths C1—Br1A and C3—Br1 of 1.988 (5) Å and 1.907 (2) Å, respectively, are also similar to those seen in the related structure 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzonitrile, with C—Br length 1.897 (3) Å (Oh & Tanski, 2012).
of the disorder, the bond lengths are nevertheless comparable to those found in related structures. The nitrile bond lengths C7—N1 and C7A—N1A of 1.161 (4) and 1.14 (2) Å, respectively, are similar to those seen in the related structures 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzonitrile, with nitrile CThe molecules of the title compound pack together in the solid state with intermolecular O—H···Br/O—H···Nnitrile hydrogen bonding (Fig. 2, Table 2). The hydrogen bonding is disordered with respect to the disordered bromine and nitrile substituents, not with respect to the phenol hydroxyl, which is found to have only one orientation. This hydrogen bonding forms a one-dimensional spiral chain extending parallel to the crystallographic b-axis, about the two-fold screw axis in P21/c with direction [0,1,0] at 1/2, y, 1/4. Within the chains, the molecules also interact via an offset face-to-face π-stacking interaction. This π-stacking is characterized by a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.8488 (2) Å, a plane-to-centroid distance of 3.487 (1) Å, and a ring offset or ring-slippage distance of 1.630 (2) Å (Hunter & Saunders, 1990; Lueckheide et al., 2013).
3-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzonitrile (97%) was purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company, USA, and was recrystallized from acetone.
The structure was refined against F2 using all data with SHELXL2014 (Sheldrick, 2015), employing established
strategies (Müller, 2009). All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. Hydrogen atoms on carbon were included in calculated positions and refined using a riding model at C–H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 × Ueq(C) of the aryl C-atoms. Coordinates for the hydrogen atom on oxygen were taken from the difference Fourier synthesis and the hydrogen atom was subsequently refined semi-freely with the help of an O—H distance restraint (target value 0.84 (2) Å) while constraining its Uiso to 1.5 times the Ueq of the oxygen atom. The extinction parameter refined to zero and was removed from the The structure exhibits a partial molecular disorder. The disorder was successfully modeled and refined with the help of similarity restraints on 1,2- and 1,3-distances and displacement parameters as well as advanced rigid-bond restraints (Thorn et al., 2012) for anisotropic displacement parameters, and interatomic distance restraints.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2013); cell

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. |
