Abstract

The title compound, C12H9FN2O, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the 16 non-H atoms = 0.019 Å), a conformation stabilized by an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R 2 2(16) loops.

Comment

The crystal structrue of 4-fluoro-2-[(E)-2-pyridyliminomethyl]phenol has been reported before, which is synthesized by 5-fluoro-salicyladehyde and pyridin-2-amine, and the distinction between title compound (I) and 4-fluoro-2-[(E)-2-pyridyliminomethyl]phenol are the different substituent position of the fluoro substituent (Cui et al., 2009).

The molecular structure of title compound is shown in Fig. 1, and selected geometric parameters are listed in Table 1. The C—F single bond length is 1.366 (4) Å, the C—O single bond length is 1.330 (4) Å, and the C—N double bond length is 1.273 (4) Å, which is similar with the bond lengths of reference compound (Cui et al., 2009). The benzene and pyridine, of course, planar with the Rms deviation of 0.0082 and 0.0015 Å, respectively. Atom F1 and O1 are almost on the benzene plane displaced by -0.0164 (49) and 0.0220 (45) Å, and N1 attached to prydine plane deviated slightly with the distance of 0.0115 (47) Å. The dihedral angle between benzene and pyridine in title compound is 1.14 (23) °, which is smaller than that in 4-Fluoro-2-[(E)-2-pyridyliminomethyl]phenol. Intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds and intermolecular C—H···O links occur (Table 2), and these lead to packing network of the molecules (Fig. 2).

Experimental

The title compound was prepared by stirring a mixture of 3-fluoro-salicylaldehyde (140 mg, 1 mmol) and pyridin-2-amine (94 mg, 1 mmol) in methanol (15 ml) for 3 h at room temperature. After keeping the solution in air for 5 d, yellow block-shaped crystals of (I) were formed. The crystals were isolated, washed three times with methanol and dried in a vacuum desiccator containing anhydrous CaCl2.

Refinement

All the H atoms, were placed in idealized positions (C—H = 0.93- 0.96 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

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.
