The compound 2-yydroxy-4,5-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde was synthesized by following the literature method of Akselsen et al. (2009). Brown crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from hexane:ethyl acetate (95:5). m.p. 125–127 °C. 1H NMR: δ (p.p.m.): 6.01 (2H,s, O–CH2–O); 6.46 (1H, s, H-5); 6.86 (1H, s, H-8); 9.62 (1H, s, CHO); 11.79 (1H, s, OH). 13C NMR: δ = 98.37, 102.15, 109.35, 113.65, 141.33, 155.17, 161.54, 193.69. HRMS m/z 166.0264 (calcd for C8H6O4: 166.0266).
All H-atoms were refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic, C—H = 0.99 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for CH2.
The title compound 6- hydroxybenzo[d][1,3]dioxole-5-carbaldehyde was obtained as an intermediate product in our research effort aimed at the total synthesis of biologically active compounds. These compounds have been used for HIV-1 integrase inhibitory activities as reported by Bailly et al. (2005), Dopamine D1 receptor full agonist (Cueva, et al. 2006) and glycogen phosphorylase inhibitory activity reported by Juhász et al. (2007). The compound has been previously reported by Juhász et al. (2007) and Akselsen et al. (2009) with 45% yield when it was respectively utilized as a starting material and as an intermediate in the synthesis of the biologically active compounds. However, inspite of the varied biological applications of (I) the crystal structure of the title compound has not been reported to date. The compound has two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit that are related by a crystallographic centre of inversion and a glide plane perpendicular to the (0, 1, 0) axis. The benzodioxole ring systems in the title compound are almost planar and show strong pi-pi interactions in the unit cell. The molecule is stabilized by intra-molecular hydrogen bonding contacts which are however balanced by a network of O···O electrostatic contacts that are both intra- [O1···O4 & O5···O8 = 2.649 (3) Å] and inter-molecular [O4···O8 = 3.001 (2) Å] in nature.
For the preparation, see: Juhász et al. (2007); Akselsen et al. (2009). For hydrogen-bond motifs, see: Bernstein et al. (1995). The title compound is a starting material and an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. These compounds have shown HIV-1 integrase inhibitory activity (Bailly et al., 2005), dopamine D1 receptor full agonist (Cueva, et al. 2006) and glycogen phosphorylase inhibitory activity (Juhász et al., 2007).

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. |

The title compound 6- hydroxybenzo[d][1,3]dioxole-5-carbaldehyde was obtained as an intermediate product in our research effort aimed at the total synthesis of biologically active compounds. These compounds have been used for HIV-1 integrase inhibitory activities as reported by Bailly et al. (2005), Dopamine D1 receptor full agonist (Cueva, et al. 2006) and glycogen phosphorylase inhibitory activity reported by Juhász et al. (2007). The compound has been previously reported by Juhász et al. (2007) and Akselsen et al. (2009) with 45% yield when it was respectively utilized as a starting material and as an intermediate in the synthesis of the biologically active compounds. However, inspite of the varied biological applications of (I) the crystal structure of the title compound has not been reported to date. The compound has two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit that are related by a crystallographic centre of inversion and a glide plane perpendicular to the (0, 1, 0) axis. The benzodioxole ring systems in the title compound are almost planar and show strong pi-pi interactions in the unit cell. The molecule is stabilized by intra-molecular hydrogen bonding contacts which are however balanced by a network of O···O electrostatic contacts that are both intra- [O1···O4 & O5···O8 = 2.649 (3) Å] and inter-molecular [O4···O8 = 3.001 (2) Å] in nature.
