Comment
The chemistry of Schiff-bases is very diverse because of a variety of possible substituents with different electron donating and withdrawing groups (Yildiz et al., 2008; Hijji et al., 2009; Karakas et al., 2008). These compounds have been studied for their use as anion sensors (Hijji et al., 2009), antimicrobial activity (Yildiz et al., 2008), photochromism and thermochromism (Hadjoudis et al., 2004) and nonlinear optical properties (Karakas et al., 2008). As a continuation of our work on the synthesis and structural characterization of Schiff-base compounds we report the synthesis and crystal structure of (E)-4-bromo-N-(2,3-dimethoxybenzylidene)aniline (1).
An ORTEP plot, with the atomic numbering scheme is depicted in Fig. 1. Bond lengths in the title compound are normal (Allen et al., 1987). The C1—N1 and C11—N1 bond lengths of 1.286 (3) and 1.415 (3) Å, respectively, conform to the value for a double and single bonds as found in similar Schiff-base compounds (Khalaji et al., 2007; Khalaji & Harrison, 2008; Khalaji et al., 2008; Khalaji & Simpson, 2009; Khalaji et al., 2009; Khalaji et al., 2010). The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 64.02 (6)°, while the plane through the central C1—N1—C1—C2 system is inclined at 21.65 (18)° to the dimethoxyphenyl ring and 42.37 (18)° to the bromobenzene ring. The two methoxy groups attached at C3 and C4 are twisted away from the C2—C7 benzene ring, with corresponding torsion angles C8—O1—C3—C2, C9—O2—C4—C3 of 103.6 (2)°, -88.7 (2)°, respectively. The third methoxy group attached at C5 is almost coplanar with the C2—C7 ring, as shown by the torsion angle C10—O3—C5—C6 of -7.2 (3)°.
Experimental
The title compound was prepared in 83% yield from 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzaldehyde and 4-bromoaniline as reported elsewhere (Khalaji & Harrison, 2008) and recrystallized from chloroform. Anal. Calc. for C16H16BrNO3: C, 54.87; H, 4.60; N, 4.00%. Found: C, 54.66; H, 4.52; N, 4.06%. IR (KBr pellet, cm-1): 2911–2998 (m, C—H aromatic and aliphatic), 2837 (s, –CH=N–); 1615 (s, C=N), 1413–1594 (C=C aromatic).
Refinement
All hydrogen atoms were discernible in difference Fourier maps and could be refined to reasonable geometry. According to common practice the H atoms were placed in geometrically ideal positions and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms, with C—H distance of 0.96 Å. The isotropic atomic displacement parameters of hydrogen atoms were evaluated as 1.2*Ueq of the parent atom.

Refinement. The refinement was carried out against all reflections. The conventional R-factor is always based on F. The goodness of fit as well as the weighted R-factor are based on F and F2 for refinement carried out on F and F2, respectively. The threshold expression is used only for calculating R-factors etc. and it is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.The program used for refinement, Jana2006, uses the weighting scheme based on the experimental expectations, see _refine_ls_weighting_details, that does not force S to be one. Therefore the values of S are usually larger than the ones from the SHELX program. |
