Comment

The antioxidant property (Tian et al., 2008) and vasorelaxant activity (Wang et al., 2008) of the title compound (I) is already described. At 296 K, X-ray structure analysis was carried out in order to structurally characterised (I). The molecular structure of the title compound and the atom-numbering scheme are shown in Fig.1. In the Fig.1, the hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity. As shown in Fig.2, both the carbonyl oxygen and the hydroxyl oxygen form hydrogen bonds with the hydrogen of the hydroxyl in another moleculars. The distance of O1 and O4 is 2.7622 (14)/%A. The distance is longer than that between O2 and O3(2.7417/%A), shorter than O3 and O1(2.7832/%A). All the data, listed in table 1 suggest strong hydrogen bond interactions.

Experimental

The synthesis of the crude product was carried out according to reported methods(Zhang et al., 2009). The title compound was crystalised from ether and water at room temperature. Spectroscopic analysis: IR(KBr, χm-1): 3256, 2952, 1678, 1656; 1H NMR (DMSO, δ, p.p.m.): 12.389 (s, 1 H), 9.492 (s, 1 H), 9.316 (s, 1 H), 7.286—7.282 (d, 1 H), 7.196 (s, 1 H), 7.088—7.068 (m, 1 H), 6.797—6.781 (d, 1 H), 3.771 (s, 3 H), 1.985 (s, 3 H).

Refinement

H atoms bonded to N and O atoms were located in a difference map and refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.8200 and N—H = 0.8600 Å, and with Uĩso~(H) = 1.2U~eq~(N,O). Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model (including free rotation about the ethanol C—C bond), with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å.

Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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.
