The title compound, C8H6O4, crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The benzodioxole ring system is almost planar in each mol­ecule, with maximum deviations of 0.008 (1) and 0.007 (1) Å. The mol­ecular structure is characterized by strong electrostatic intra­molecular O...O contacts [2.649 (3) Å] and intra­molecular O—H...O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. Inter­molecular O...O inter­actions [3.001 (2) Å] are observed in the crystal structure.

Comment top

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.

Special details top

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.
