The crystal structures of four (E)-methoxybenzaldehyde oxime derivatives, namely (2-methoxybenzaldehyde oxime, 1, 2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde oxime, 2, 4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde oxime, 3, and 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde oxime, 4, are discussed. The arrangements of the 2-methoxy group and the H atom of the oxime unit are s-cis in compounds 1–3, but in both independent molecules of compound 4, the arrangements are s-trans. There is also a difference in the conformation of the two molecules in 4, involving the orientations of the 2- and 5-methoxy groups. The primary intermolecular O—H(oxime)⋯O(hydroxy) hydrogen bonds generate C(3) chains in 1 and 2. In contrast, in compound 3, the O—H(oxime)⋯O(hydroxy) hydrogen bonds generate symmetric R₂²(6) dimers. A more complex dimer is generated in 4 from the O—H(oxime)⋯O(hydroxy) and C—H(2-methoxy)⋯O(hydroxy) hydrogen bonds. In all cases, further interactions, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π or π–π, generate three-dimensional arrays. Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint analyses are discussed.

Keywords: crystal structure; oxime derivative; hydrogen bonding.

1. Chemical context

In the plant kingdom, oximes play a vital role in metabolism (Sørensen et al., 2018 ). Aldoximes, RCH=NOH, are found in many biologically active compounds (Abele et al., 2008 ; Nikitjuka & Jirgensons, 2014 ), having a diverse range of uses including as anti-tumour agents (Martínez-Pascual et al., 2017 ; Qin et al., 2017 ; Canario et al., 2018 ; Huang et al., 2018 ), acaricidal and insecticidal agents (Dai et al., 2017 ), thymidine phosphorylase inhibitors (Zhao et al., 2018 ), anti-microbial agents (Yadav et al., 2017 ), bacteriocides (Kozlowska et al., 2017 ), anti-inflammatory agents (Mohassab et al. 2017 ), and in the treatment of nerve-gas poisoning (Lorke et al., 2008 ; Voicu et al., 2010 ; Katalinić et al., 2017 ; Radić et al., 2013 ).

Benzaldehyde oximes, ArCH=NOH, with their –CH=N—OH functional group are ideally arranged for classical O—H⋯O and/or O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding. The last survey of the classical hydrogen-bonding patterns in benzaldehyde oximes reported in 2010 (Low et al., 2010 ) confirmed that the most frequently found arrangements, with the exception of salicylaldoxines, are $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) dimers and C(3) chains, Fig. 1. Aakeröy et al. (2013 ) reported the percentages of $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) dimers and C(3) chains found in non-salicylaldoxine to be ca 72 and 24%, respectively – similar percentages can be derived from a recent survey of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD Version 5.39, August 2018 update; Groom et al., 2016 ). Hydrogen bonds are considered to be the strongest and most directional of intermolecular interactions in molecules (Etter, 1990 ) and thus play the major roles in determining the overall supramolecular structures. However, the involvement of weaker intermolecular interactions, such as C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, π–π interactions and interactions involving the substituents, can have a significant influence on the supramolecular arrays generated. In a continuation of recent studies on aldoximes (Low et al. 2018 ; Gomes et al., 2018 ), we have determined the crystal structures of four methoxybenzaldehyde derivatives, namely 2-MeO-X-C₆H₃CH=NOH where X = H in 1, X = 3-MeO in 2, X = 4-MeO in 3 and X = 5-MeO in 4. The aim of the study was to further investigate the occurrence of $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) dimers and C(3) chains in a series of related compounds.

2. Structural commentary

There are no unusual features in the molecular structures. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna2₁ with one molecule in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 2), compound 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ with one molecule in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 3), compound 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P $[\overline{1}]$ with one molecule in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 4), and compound 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group, P2₁/c with two independent molecules, Mol A and Mol B, in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 5). The geometry about the oxime moiety in all molecules is (E). In compounds 1–3, the 2-methoxy group and the hydrogen of the oxime moiety have an s-cis arrangement. In contrast, in both molecules of compound 4, the 2-methoxy group and the hydrogen atom of the oxime moiety have an s-trans arrangement. The s-trans arrangement of the 2-alkoxy group and hydrogen atom of the oxime units in compound 4 is very much rarer than the s-cis arrangement found in compounds 1–3 and other non-salicylaldoximes. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD Version 5.39, August 2018 update; Groom et al., 2016) revealed that only salicylaldoximes and 2-alkoxybenzaldehyde oxime (E)-2-({2-[(E)-(hydroxyimino)methyl]phenoxy}methyl)-3-p-tolylacrylonitrile (LAQRIG; Suresh et al. 2012 ) had this s-trans arrangement. In contrast, the isomer 2-({2-[(hydroxyimino)methyl]phenoxy}methyl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)acrylonitrile (GARNEU; Govindan et al., 2012a ) and some similar compounds such as (E)-2-({2-[(E)-(hydroxyimino)methyl]phenoxy}methyl)-3-phenylacrylonitrile (LAQRUS; Govindan et al., 2012b ) had the s-cis arrangement.

There is a conformational difference between the two independent molecules Mol A and Mol B of compound 4. This difference is in the orientation of the two methoxy groups, see Fig. 5: in Mol A the orientation is s-trans and in Mol B, it is s-cis. As expected for a 1,2,3-trisubstituted benzene derivative, compound 4 is the least planar of the four oxime derivatives, with the 2-methoxy substituent furthest out of the plane of the attached phenyl group, see Table 1.

3. Supramolecular features

3.1. Hydrogen bonding

In the crystal of 1, molecules are primarily linked by strong O13—H13⋯N12ⁱ hydrogen bonds (Table 2), forming C(3) chains, illustrated in Fig. 6. Also present in compound 1 are two weaker hydrogen bonds, namely, C3—H3⋯O13ⁱⁱ and C21—H21C⋯O13ⁱⁱⁱ, as well as a weak π–π stacking interaction [Cg⋯Cg^iv = 4.025 (2) Å: slippage 2.105 Å: symmetry code; x, y, z − 1]. These three interactions generate the molecular arrangement shown in Fig. 7. The C3—H3⋯O13ⁱⁱ hydrogen bonds generate C7 chains in the c-axis direction, while the C21—H21C⋯O13ⁱⁱⁱ hydrogen bonds form C(8) spiral chains along the a-axis direction: together these hydrogen bonds form R₄⁴(22) rings. The tilted π–π stacks propagate in the c-axis direction. The involvement of the weaker C3—H3⋯O13ⁱⁱ, C21—H21C⋯O13ⁱⁱⁱ and π–π interactions, along with the stronger O13—H13 ⋯N12ⁱ hydrogen bonds, creates the three-dimensional structure for 1.

As in 1, molecules of 2 are primarily linked by strong O13—H13 ⋯N12ⁱ hydrogen bonds (Table 3), forming C(3) chains: as such chains are very similar to those in compound 1, see Fig. 6, an illustration has not been provided for the C(3) chain in compound 2. Other intermolecular interactions in 2 are the weaker C21—H21B⋯O31ⁱⁱⁱ and C31—H31B⋯O13^iv hydrogen bonds and a C31—H31C⋯Cg1^v interaction involving the C1–C6 ring. These three interactions combine to form the arrangement illustrated in Fig. 8. The C21—H21B⋯O31ⁱⁱⁱ hydrogen bonds on their own generate C(6) chains, which propagate in the a-axis direction while the C31—H31B⋯O13^iv hydrogen bonds generate spiral C(9) chains in the b-axis direction. Together these hydrogen bonds generate a network of R₄⁴(26) rings. The C31—H31C⋯Cg1^v interactions lead to chains along the a-axis direction. The involvement of the weaker C21—H21B⋯O31ⁱⁱⁱ, C31—H31B⋯O13^iv C and C—H⋯π interactions, along with the stronger O13—H13 ⋯N12ⁱ hydrogen bonds, creates a three-dimensional structure for 2. C4—H4⋯O12ⁱⁱ hydrogen bonds also occur.

In compound 3, $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) dimers are generated from strong O13—H13⋯N12ⁱ hydrogen bonds (Table 4), as illustrated in Fig. 9. Linkages of these $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) dimers by weaker C41—H41A(methoxy)⋯O13ⁱⁱ hydrogen bonds provide a two-molecule-wide ribbon. Within the ribbons are R₄⁴ (22) rings as well as the $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) rings. An additional interaction in 3 is the C41—H41C⋯Cg1ⁱⁱⁱ interaction, which generates a tilted ladder assembly, propagating in the a-axis direction, with the $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) rings acting as the rungs and the C41—H41C⋯Cg1ⁱⁱⁱ interactions as the supports.

In compound 4, each of the two independent molecules forms symmetric dimers, see Fig. 10. These are generated from combinations of O113—H113⋯N112ⁱ and O113—H113⋯O121ⁱ hydrogen bonds (Table 5) for Mol A and O213—H213⋯N212ⁱⁱ and O213—H213⋯O221ⁱⁱ hydrogen bonds for Mol B. In each case, the dimers contain three rings, two R₁²(6) and one $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6). There are short N⋯N distances across the $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) dimer rings, 2.8595 (12) Å for MolA and 2.8956 (12) Å for Mol B, each being less than the sum of the van der Waals radius (3.10 Å) for two N atoms.

The links between the two different dimers of 4 are provided by a number of C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions, listed in Table 5. Fig. 11 restricts the contacts to just the C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, namely C121—H12C⋯N212ⁱⁱⁱ, C111—H111⋯O251 and C151—H15A⋯O113^iv. To facilitate the viewing of the connection in Fig. 11, the two different dimers are drawn in different colours.

3.2. Hirshfeld surface analysis

Hirshfeld surfaces (Spackman & Jayatilaka, 2009 ) and two-dimensional fingerprint (FP) plots (Spackman & McKinnon, 2002 ), provide complementary information concerning the intermolecular interactions discussed above. The analyses were generated using Crystal Explorer3.1 (Wolff et al., 2012 ). The Hirshfeld surfaces mapped over d_norm for 1–4 are illustrated in Fig. 12. The red areas on the surfaces correspond to close contacts. The fingerprint plots are shown in Fig. 13. In all of the FP plots, the pair of spikes pointing south-west relate to the N—H contacts, which in compounds 1 and 2 are involved in the C(3) chains, while in compounds 3 and 4, they are responsible for the creation of the dimers. In compound 3, the fins ending at d_e, d_i = 1.9,1.1 Å are due to C(π)⋯H/C(π)⋯H contacts. The FP plots for Mol A and Mol B of compound 4 are asymmetric because of the different interactions of each molecule. The double wings in the FP plot for Mol A in the second quadrant are complementary to those displayed in the fourth quadrant by MolB and relate to C⋯H close contacts connecting the two molecules. The spike ending at d_i, d_e = 1.1 Å in Mol A is due to H⋯H contacts.

Figure 12
Hirshfeld surfaces for compounds 1–4. In each case, the interactions related to the red areas are designated.

Figure 13
Fingerprint plots for compounds 1–4.

The percentages of the various atom–atom contacts, derived from the fingerprint plots, for the four compounds are shown in Table 6. The fact that compound 1 has only one methoxy group while the isomers, 2–4, have two is reflected in the greater percentages of contacts involving the oxygen close contacts. The C(3)-chain-forming compounds 1 and 2 show higher percentages of H⋯H and C⋯C contacts, but a lower percentage of H⋯C/C⋯H contacts, than the dimer-forming compounds 3 and 4.

4. Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database survey (CSD Version 5.39, August 2018 update; Groom et al., 2016) revealed compounds similar to 2 and 3. The classical hydrogen bonds in 3,5-dimethoxybenzene oxime generate C(3) chains (VUZJAC; Dong et al., 2010 ). No benzene oxime derivative with only methoxy substituents has been reported in the database to form an $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) or related dimer. The structure has been reported of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzene oxime (MEQDAO; Chang, 2006 ) in which classical hydrogen bonds, formed between the oxime unit and the 4- and 5-methoxy moieties, but not the 2-methoxy group, result in the formation of a tetramer. The water molecule in 3,4.5-trimethoxybenzene monohydrate (HESWUY; Priya et al., 2006 ) is strongly involved in the hydrogen-bonding arrangements.

There are 376 structures, (411 fragments) in the CSD database with oxime $[R_{2}^{2}]$ (6) dimers in which the N⋯N distance across the ring is less than or equal to 3.10 Å, the sum of two N-atom van der Waals radii. The H⋯O hydrogen-bond distance range was restricted to 1.739–2.285 Å to exclude improbable O⋯H distances based on a statistical analysis in Mercury (Macrae et al., 2006 ). The N⋯N distances range from 2.727 to 3.097 Å with a mean value of 2.987 Å. There are 27 structures within the range 2.838 to 2.909 Å in which our values of 2.8595 (12) Å for MolA and 2.8956 (12) Å for MolB of compound4 lie. Only single-crystal organic compounds were searched for with no limit on the R factor.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

The title compounds were prepared from hydroxyamine and the corresponding benzaldehyde in methanol in the presence of potassium carbonate and were recrystallized from methanol solutions, m.p. = 364–365 K for compound 1, 371–373 K for 2, 378–380 K for 3 and 370–371 K for 4.

6. Refinement details

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 7. All hydroxy hydrogen atoms were refined isotropically. C-bound H atoms were refined as riding with C—H = 0.95–0.98Å and U_iso(H) = 1.2–1.5U_eq(C).

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.

Refinement. Refined as a 2-component perfect inversion twin.
