The molecule of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₀ClNO, (I), which contains an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond, is almost planar: the dihedral angle between the two aryl rings is only 3.31 (9)°. The molecules of (I) are linked into sheets by two C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds and the sheets are linked into a three-dimensional structure by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Comparisons are made with the structures of a number of related compounds.

Keywords: crystal structure; Schiff bases; molecular conformation; hydrogen bonding; supramolecular assembly.

1. Chemical context

Schiff bases exhibit a very wide range of biological activities (da Silva et al., 2011 ) and are also of interest because of the photochromic and thermochromic properties (Hadjoudis & Mavridis, 2004 ; Minkin et al., 2011 ). The molecular structure of N-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-2-hydroxyaniline (I) was reported in the space group P2₁/n a number of years ago [CSD (Groom et al., 2016 ) refcode FAKDIE; Kamwaya & Khoo, 1985 ]. However, scrutiny of the reported structure reveals a number of unexpected features: the refinement was conducted in a non-standard monoclinic cell having β < 90°; the C—C distances in the aryl rings range between 1.336 and 1.427 Å; no H atoms bonded to C atoms were included; and the C—O—H angle was reported as 88°, which seems very small, while the associated intramolecular H⋯N distance was only 1.66 Å, which is very short, even for a strong O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. Hence any conclusions drawn from the deposited atomic coordinates may be untrustworthy. The structures of several positional isomers of (I) have been reported recently (Kazak et al., 2004 ; Sundararaman et al., 2007 ; Saranya et al., 2015 ) and in view of these reports and of the widespread applications of Schiff bases, we have accordingly now collected a new data set for compound (I), whose structure we report here (Fig. 1).

2. Structural commentary

The molecular skeleton of compound (I) (Fig. 1) is very nearly planar: the r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane through all of the non-H atoms is only 0.043 Å, with a maximum displacement from this plane of 0.0900 (10) Å for atom Cl14. The dihedral angle between the two aryl rings in the molecule of (I) is only 3.31 (9)°. A fairly short intramolecular O—H⋯N contact (Table 1) may be an influence on the molecular conformation. The C—C distances within the rings lie in the range 1.377 (3)–1.393 (3) Å for the hydroxylated ring, and 1.366 (3)–1.387 (3) Å for the chlorinated ring, much smaller than the range previously reported (Kamwaya & Khoo, 1985), while the C—O—H angle is 103.0 (18)°. The inter-axial angle β, as found here and as previously reported, β′, are related by β = (180 - β′) and the atomic coordinates found here can be related to those reported previously, after inversion and a straightforward origin shift, by the transformation (x, y, −z), suggesting that the previous determination may have in advertently used a left-handed axis set.

3. Supramolecular features

The supramolecular assembly is dominated by two C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds (Table 1): that having atom C6 as the donor links molecules related by the 2₁ screw axis along (0.75, y, 0.75), and that having atom C15 as the donor links molecules related by the 2₁ screw axis along (0.25, y, 0.75), so forming two distinct types of chain parallel to [010]. In the first of these, the chlorinated ring provides both the donor and the acceptor, while in the second the hydroxylated ring provides both the donor and the acceptor (Fig. 2). The combination of these two chains links the molecules of (I) into sheets lying parallel to (001) (Fig. 2). Two sheets of this type, related to one another by inversion, pass through each unit cell, in the domains 0 < z < 0.5 and 0.5 < z < 1.0. Adjacent sheets are linked into a continuous three-dimensional framework by a combination of a short O—H⋯O contact involving inversion-related pairs of molecules (Fig. 3), and an aromatic π–π stacking interaction. The aryl rings (C1–C6) and (C11–C16) in the molecules at (x, y, z) and (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z), respectively, which lie in adjacent sheets, make a dihedral angle of 3.31 (9)°: the ring centroid separation is 3.773 (2) Å and the shortest perpendicular distance from the centroid of one ring to the plane of the other is 3.465 (2) Å, giving a ring centroid offset of ca 1.49 Å. In the earlier report (FAKDIE; Kamwaya & Khoo, 1985), the absence of any H atoms bonded to C atoms means that the C—H⋯π(Arene) interactions were necessarily overlooked, and the apparent misplacement of the hydroxyl H atom noted above means that the intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond was also overlooked.

4. Database survey

The structures of a number of Schiff bases which are isomeric with compound (I) have been reported in recent years (see Fig. 4). In each of compounds (II) (Kazak et al., 2004) and (III) (Sundararaman et al., 2007), the molecules are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form chains of the C(7) and C(8) types, respectively, while in compound (IV) (Saranya et al., 2015) the sole O—H⋯N interaction is intramolecular. The bromo derivative (V) (Jiao et al., 2006 ) is isomorphous with the chloro analogue (I), but these two compounds are not strictly isostructural in that the structure of (V) contains only one C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bond, as compared with two such bonds in the structure of (I). On the other hand, compounds (III) and (VI) (Jothi et al., 2012 ) do appear to be isostructural. Finally, we note the isomeric nitrone (VII), which crystallizes in space group P $[\overline{1}]$ with Z′ = 2: each of the two types of molecule forms a C(4) chain built from C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Vijayalakshmi et al., 2000 ).

5. Synthesis and crystallization

To a solution of 2-aminophenol (0.917 mmol) in ethanol (20 cm³), an equimolar quantity of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde was added dropwise, with constant stirring, in the presence of a catalytic amount of glacial acetic acid. The mixture was then heated under reflux for 4 h. When the reaction was complete, as judged using thin layer chromatography, the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and the resulting solid product was collected by filtration and recrystallized from dimethyl sulfoxide, to give crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction; m.p. 358 K.

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2. All H atoms were located in difference maps. The H atoms bonded to C atoms were subsequently treated as riding atoms in geometrically idealized positions with C—H distances of 0.93 Å and with U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C). For the H atom bonded to the O atom, the atomic coordinates were refined with U_iso(H) = 1.5U_eq(O), giving an O—H distance of 0.84 (3) Å. In the final analysis of variance there was a negative value, −3.134, of K = [mean(F_o²)/mean(F_c²)] for the group of 291 very weak reflections having F_c/F_c(max) in the range 0.000 < F_c/F_c(max) < 0.003: this is probably a statistical artefact.

Special details top

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.
