Abstract

In the title compound, C9H11NO3, a derivative of salicyl­amide, the intra­cyclic C—C—C angles span the range 117.96 (13)–121.56 (14)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydro­gen bond occurs. In the crystal, inter­molecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur and C—H⋯O contacts connect the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network. The closest inter­centroid distance between two π-systems is 3.8809 (10) Å.

Comment

Chelate ligands have found widespread use in coordination chemistry due to the enhanced thermodynamic stability of resultant coordination compounds in relation to coordination compounds exclusively applying comparable monodentate ligands (Gade, 1998). Combining different donor atoms, a molecular set-up to accomodate a large variety of metal centers of variable Lewis acidity is at hand. In this aspect, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-salicylamide seemed of interest due to its possible use as a strictly neutral or, depending on the pH value, as an anionic or cationic ligand. In addition, due to the set-up of its functional groups, it may act as mono-, bi-, tri- or even tetradentate ligand offering the possibility to create chelate rings of various size. The intriguing combination of a secondary amino group, a keto group as well as an aliphatic and an aromatic hydroxyl group classifies the title compound as a highly versatile ligand. To enable comparative studies in terms of bond lengths and angles in envisioned coordination compounds, we determined the molecular and crystal structure of the title compound. Information about the crystal structure of N-acetylsalicylamide (Vyas et al., 1987) is available in the literature.

Due to the possible resonance between the amide group and the aromatic system, a projection of the molecule shows nearly all atoms to reside in the same plane. The only marked exception from this finding is the aliphatic hydroxyl group which adopts a staggered conformation with respect to the plane of the phenyl moiety. Intracyclic C–C–C angles span a range from 117.96 (13)–121.56 (14) °. The least-squares planes defined by the carbon atoms of the aromatic system on the one hand and the CON-motif of the amide group on the other hand intersect at an angle of 11.71 (20) ° (Fig. 1). This finding is in good agreement with values reported for other salicylic acid-derived amides whose crystal structural data have been deposited with the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002; Fig. 2).

In the crystal structure, intra- as well as intermolecular hydrogen bonds are obvious. The intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed between the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group bonded to the aromatic system and the oxygen atom of the keto group, with the latter one also serving as acceptor for one intermolecular hydrogen bond stemming from the aliphatic hydroxyl group. The amino group acts as donor in a hydrogen bond applying the aliphatic hydroxyl group's oxygen atom as acceptor. Apart from these classical hydrogen bonds, C–H···O contacts are observed whose range falls by more than 0.1 below the sum of van-der-Waals radii of the atoms participating. These contacts are manifest between the CH group in ortho position to the hydroxyl group on the aromatic system and the O atom of this hydroxyl group in the neighbouring molecule thus connecting the molecules to centrosymmetric dimers. A second C–H···O contact can be observed between one of the aromatic CH groups and the O atom of the aliphatic hydroxyl group (Fig. 2). In terms of graph-set analysis (Etter et al., 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995), the descriptor for the classical hydrogen bonds is S(6)C11(7)R22(10) on the unitary level while a description of the C–H···O contatcs necessitates a C11(8)R22(8) descriptor on the same level. In total, the molecules are connected to a three-dimensional network. The closest intercentroid distance between two π-systems was found at 3.8809 (10) Å.

The packing of the title compound is shown in Figure 4.

Experimental

The compound was obtained commercially (Aldrich). Crystals suitable for the X-ray diffraction study were taken directly from the provided compound.

Refinement

Carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 Å for aromatic C atoms and C—H 0.99 Å for methylene groups) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms of the hydroxyl groups as well as the amine group were located on a difference Fourier map and refined with individual thermal parameters.
