The title compound was purchased and crystallized from ethyl acetate by slow evaporation.
H6 and H7 were located in difference syntheses and refined isotropicaly [O6—H6 = 0.96 (2) Å, Uiso(H) = 0.14 (2) Å2 and C7—H7 = 0.99 (3) Å, Uiso(H) = 0.046 (8) Å2]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically, with O—H = 0.82 Å (for OH) and C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aromatic and methyl H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C,O), where x = 1.2 for aromatic H, and x = 1.5 for all other H atoms.
ortho-Alkoxybenzoic acids are a class of acids which crystallize with different packing modes. The distinctive behaviour of 2-ethoxybenzoic acid which forms monomers is due to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond (Gopalakrishna & Cartz, 1972). 2,3-Dimethoxybenzoic acid forms the normal acid dimer pattern (Bryan & White, 1982a). 2,6- Dimethoxybenzoic acid (Bryan & White, 1982b) and 2,6-dimethoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid (Frankenbach et al., 1991) form catemers. The carboxyl group of 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid exists in an anti conformation, while the carboxyl group of 2,6-dimethoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid in a syn conformation. We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1) contains two crystallographicaly independent molecules, in which the bond lengths and angles are generally within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The C—O bonds of the carboxyl groups (Table 1) are compatible with the corresponding values in similar structure (Khan et al., 2006), and smaller than those usually observed in carboxylic acid [1.365 Å]. The valence angles C3—C2—C7 [121.5 (3)°] and C13—C12—C17 [121.9 (2)°] are larger than the standard value of 120°, due to the presence of methoxy and carboxyl groups.
In the crystal structure, the intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) form catemers, as observed in 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid and 2,6-dimethoxy-3 -nitrobenzoic acid, the intermolecular C—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2, Fig. 2) link the molecules, in which they seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

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. |

ortho-Alkoxybenzoic acids are a class of acids which crystallize with different packing modes. The distinctive behaviour of 2-ethoxybenzoic acid which forms monomers is due to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond (Gopalakrishna & Cartz, 1972). 2,3-Dimethoxybenzoic acid forms the normal acid dimer pattern (Bryan & White, 1982a). 2,6- Dimethoxybenzoic acid (Bryan & White, 1982b) and 2,6-dimethoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid (Frankenbach et al., 1991) form catemers. The carboxyl group of 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid exists in an anti conformation, while the carboxyl group of 2,6-dimethoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid in a syn conformation. We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1) contains two crystallographicaly independent molecules, in which the bond lengths and angles are generally within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The C—O bonds of the carboxyl groups (Table 1) are compatible with the corresponding values in similar structure (Khan et al., 2006), and smaller than those usually observed in carboxylic acid [1.365 Å]. The valence angles C3—C2—C7 [121.5 (3)°] and C13—C12—C17 [121.9 (2)°] are larger than the standard value of 120°, due to the presence of methoxy and carboxyl groups.
In the crystal structure, the intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) form catemers, as observed in 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid and 2,6-dimethoxy-3 -nitrobenzoic acid, the intermolecular C—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2, Fig. 2) link the molecules, in which they seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
