Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C7H7BrIN, contains two independent mol­ecules, which are linked by weak N—H⋯N hydro­den-bonding inter­actions between the amino groups.

Comment

The tittle compound, 5-bromo-4-iodo-2-methylaniline is an important intermediate, which can be utilized to synthesize highly fluorescent solid-state asymmetric spirosilabifluorene derivatives (Lee et al., 2005). And we report here the crystal structure of the title compound (I), see Fig. 1.

The asymmetric unit contains two title molecules of 5-bromo-4-iodo-2-methylaniline. Weak hydroden bonding interactions link them together with N···N distance 3.300 (14) Å. The bromo, iodo and amino substituents lie in the mean plane of the phenyl rings, with mean deviation of 0.0040 (1) Å from the plane (C2—C7), and 0.0120 (1) Å from the plane (C9—C14). The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987).

Experimental

The title compound, (I) was prepared by a method reported in literature (Lee et al., 2005). The crystals were obtained by dissolving (I) (0.5 g) in methanol (50 ml) and evaporating the solvent slowly at room temperature for about 10 d.

Refinement

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding, with N—H = 0.86 Å and C—H = 0.93 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N).

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.
