Abstract

In the title compound, C13H11BBrFO3, the dioxy­boron fragment is close to co-planar with the benzene ring to which the B atom is connected [dihedral angle = 8.96 (4)°]. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 14.8 (2)°. One of the OH groups is engaged in an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­action. The second OH group is involved in inter­molecular hydrogen bonding, forming a centrosymmetric dimer. The F atom and the corresponding meta-H atom are disordered over two positions in a 0.675 (6):0.325 (6) ratio.

Comment

The high synthetic utility of boronic acids (Bien et al., 1995; Miyaura & Suzuki, 1995) enforces a continuous progress in the preparation and characterization of these compounds. The molecular structure of the title compound, C13H11BBrFO3 (I), is shown in Fig. 1. It is the second example of an arylboronic acid based on the aryl-benzyl ether structure containing an aryloxymethylene substituent. Aryl-benzyl ethers found recently a new application as human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) inhibitors (Dai et al., 2009).

The molecular structure of (I) shows that the dioxyboron fragment formed by B, O1 and O2 atoms is essentially planar with the phenyl ring to which the boron atom is connected (C6—C5—B1—O2 = 3.6 (6)°). The hydrogen atom bonded to O2 is involved in an intramolecular O—H···O interaction with atom O3, forming a five-membered ring. The hydrogen atom bonded to O1 is involved in an intermolecular hydrogen bonding to form a centrosymmetric dimer (Fig. 2). The angle between planes formed by two phenyl rings in the same molecule is 14.8 (2)°.

For the structural characterization of a related boronic acid derivative, see: Serwatowski et al. (2006).

Experimental

3-Bromo-2-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)phenylboronic acid was obtained from Aldrich and recrystallized from toluene.

Refinement

The fluorine atom is disordered over two positions with site occupation factors of 0.325 (6) and 0.675 (6). Positions of most of the hydrogen atoms were refined freely with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). The OH hydrogen atoms were refined with a constrained bond length of O—H = 0.84 Å. Hydrogen atoms that belong to the disordered part of the phenyl ring were not refined but added geometrically with a fixed bond length of 0.95 Å.

Special details

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.
