Abstract

In the title compound, C8H9BrN2O, the 1-bromo-4-methyl­benzene group and the formic hydrazide moiety [r.m.s. deviations of 0.0129 and 0.0038 Å] are oriented at a dihedral angle of 80.66 (11)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via strong N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of chains in the [010] direction. These chains are linked via weaker N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with R 2 2(7) and R 3 2(7) ring motifs, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (001).

Comment

Recently, we have reported the crystal structure of 2-chlorobenzohydrazide (Ahmad et al., 2012). In continuation of this work we have synthesized the title compound, a hydrazide derivative, and report herein on its crystal structure.

In the title molecule, Fig. 1, the 1-bromo-4-methylbenzene group A (C1–C7/Br1) and the formic hydrazide moiety B (O1/C8/N1/N2) are planar with r. m. s. deviations of 0.0129 Å and 0.0038 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between these mean planes, A/B, is 80.66 (11)°.

In the crystal, molecules are linked via N—H···O hydrogen bonds to form one-dimensional polymeric chains along [010]. These chains are linked via N-H···N and N-H..O hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional polymeric network in (001). The hydrogen bonds give rise to R22(7) and R32(7) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995; Table 1 and Fig. 2).

Experimental

2-(4-Bromophenyl)acetic acid (4.42 g, 0.022 mol) was converted to methyl 2-(4-bromophenyl)acetate by refluxing in methanol (25 ml) in the presence of catalytic amount of sulfuric acid. This ester was then converted into the title compound by refluxing with hydrazine hydrate (80%, 10 ml) in dry methanol. The title compound was purified by recrystallization from dry methanol, giving colourless rod-like crystals [M.p. 438–439 K].

Refinement

The coordinates of the H-atoms of the NH2 group were refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). The remainder of the H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: N–H = 0.86 Å, C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N,C).

Special details

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles
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.
