Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C14H12N4O2, was determined as part of a project on the coordination chemistry of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives. In the crystal structure, one of the two benzene rings is almost coplanar with the five-membered triazole ring (mean deviation = 0.019 Å), whereas the second benzene ring is rotated by 51.973 (2)°. The two N—C—N—N torsion angles [170.365 (2) and −170.942 (3)°] indicate that the amido group is slightly twisted away from the triazole plane. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding is found.

Experimental

2-hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzohydrazide and hydrazine monohydrate were purchased from Acros and used without further purification. 2-hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzohydrazide (4.08 g, 0.15 mmol) and hydrazine monohydrate(7.27 ml, 0.15 mol) were transfered into a 50 ml round-bottom flask. The mixture was stirred and refluxed for 3 h. After cooling, the solution was poured into ice water and the resulting light pink precipitate was collected by filtration, and recrystallized from ethanol. colorless crystal, 1.812 g (46.6 %), 1H NMR (DMSO, 400 MHz, p.p.m.): 11.27 (s, 2H), 8.0 (q, 2H), 7.4 (m, 2H), 7.0 (q, 4H), 6.14 (s, 2H). m.p = 532.3–533.2 K.

Refinement

All C-H H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions (methyl H atoms allowed to rotate but not to tip) and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C—H distances in the range of 0.93–0.98 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 U eq for aryl H atoms and 1.5 Ueq for the methyl H atoms. The O-H and N-H H atoms were located in difference map and were refined isotropic with varying coordinates. Because no strong anomalous scaterring atoms are present the absolute structure cannot be determined, Therefore, Friedel-opposites were merged in the refinement and the absolute structure was selected arbitrarily.

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 > 2sigma(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.
