The title compound, C22H20N2O4, is a Schiff base ligand. The dihedral angles between the central and two outer benzene rings are 2.20 (12) and 58.29 (12)°. Two O—H...N intra­molecular hydrogen bonds involving the two hydr­oxy groups generate S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are stacked approximately along the a axis and are linked by weak inter­molecular C—H...O inter­actions. The crystal structure is stabilized by intra­molecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds, weak C—H...O inter­molecular inter­actions and C—H...π inter­actions.

Schiff base compounds have received much attention because of their potential applications. Some of these compounds exhibit various pharmacological activities, such as anticancer (Dao et al., 2000), anti-HIV (Sriram et al., 2006), antibacterial and antifungal (Karthikeyan et al., 2006) properties. In addition, some of them may be used as analytical reagents for the determination of trace elements (Eltayeb & Ahmed, 2005a,b). Recently we have reported the crystal structures of 2,2'-[1,2-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]bis(5-methylphenol) (Eltayeb, Teoh, Chantrapromma et al., 2007a) and 6,6'-Dimethyl-2,2'-[1,2-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol (Eltayeb, Teoh, Chantrapromma et al., 2007b). As an extension of our investigations of Schiff base ligands and their complexes, the title compound was synthesized by the reaction of o-phenylenediamine and 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde, and its crystal structure is reported here.

In the structure of the title compound, the C15–C20 benzene ring is almost planar with the o-phenylaniline as indicated by the dihedral angle between the C8–C13 and C15–C20 benzene rings being 2.20 (12)° and the torsion angle C13/N2/C14/C15 = 178.2 (2)°. The C1–C6 benzene ring makes the dihedral angles of 58.29 (12)° and 57.60 (12)° with C8–C13 and C15–C20 benzene rings, respectively and the torsion angle C8/N1/C7/C6 is -178.8 (2)°. The two methoxy groups are slightly deviated from the mean planes of C1–C6 and C15–C20 benzene rings with the torsion angles C21/O2/C3/C2 = 5.5 (4)° and C22/O4/C18/C19 = -5.8 (4)°. The two intramolecular hydrogen bonds, O1—H1O1···N1 and O3—H1O3···N2 generate S(6) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). Bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and comparable to those in related structures (Eltayeb, Teoh, Chantrapromma et al., 2007a; 2007b; Eltayeb, Teoh, Teh et al., 2007a; 2007b).

In the crystal, the molecules are stacked approximately along the a axis and are linked by weak C—H···O intermolecular interactions (Table 1). The crystal is stabilized by O—H···N intramolecular hydrogen bonds, weak C—H···O intermolecular interactions and C—H···π interactions (Table 1); Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of C1–C6 and C8–C13 benzene rings, respectively.

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by adding 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde (0.608 g, 4 mmol) into a solution of o-phenylenediamine (0.216 g, 2 mmol) in ethanol 95% (20 ml). The mixture was refluxed with stirring for half an hour. The resultant yellow solution was filtered. Yellow needle-shaped single crystals suitable for x-ray structure determination were formed after one week of slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature.

Refinement top

Hydroxyl H atoms were located from the difference map and isotropically refined. The O—H distance was restrainted to be 1.02 Å. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.96 Å. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the carrier atom for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.

Experimental. The low-temparture data was collected with the Oxford Cyrosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment.

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.
