Abstract
The title compound, C10H8BrNO2, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.031 Å) and the conformation across the C=N bond is trans. Further, the O atom of the benzofuran ring is syn to the N atom of the oxime group. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate R 2 2(6) loops. Very weak aromatic π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid separations = 3.9100 (12) and 3.9447 (12) Å] are also observed.
Keywords: crystal structure, 1-(5-bromobenzofuran-2-yl) ethanone oxime, hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking interactions

supplementary crystallographic information
S1. Chemical context
The literature indicates that compounds having benzofuran nucleus possesses versatile pharmacological activities like anifungal, antiarrythmic, uricisuric, vasodilator and antimigraine agent (Rida et al., 2006; Manna et al., 2010; Patil et al., 2010; Patel et al., 2006). Further, (Benzofuran-2-yl) keoxime derivatives are known to show good antifungal activities (Demirayak et al., 2002). In view of the above and in continuation of our efforts to study the crystal structures of benzofuran moities (Aruna Kumar et al., 2014), the title compound was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined.
S2. Structural commentary
The title compound (I), C10H8BrNO2, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.031 Å) and the conformation across the C=N bond is trans in (I) (Figure 1). In contrast to this, the conformation across the C=N bond is syn in (1Z)-1-(1-Benzofuran-2-yl)ethanone oxime (II) (Aruna Kumar et al., 2014). Further, the O atom of the benzofuran ring is trans to the CH3 group in the side chain of (I), where as, in (II) (Aruna Kumar et al., 2014), it is syn. The torsions in the side chain of (I) have values: O1—C8—C9—N1 = 3.3 (3)o, C8—C9—N1—O2 = 179.41 (17)o and C7—C8—C9—C10 = 3.9 (4)o. The corresponding torsions in (II) have values 177.02 (16)o, 0.6 (3)o and 178.2 (2)o respectively (Aruna Kumar et al., 2014).
S3. Supramolecular features
The crystal structure features strong O2—H2A···N1 hydrogen bonds leading into R22(6) dimers, and these dimers are further interconnected via two π···π interactions, namely cg1···cg1 and cg1···cg2 (where cg1 is the centroid of the furan ring C4/C5/C7/C8/O1 and cg2 is the centroid of the aryl ring C1—C6) (Figure 2, Table 2), the centroid-centroid separations being 3.9447 (12) Å and 3.9100 (12) Å respectively.
S4. Synthesis and crystallization
5-bromo-2-acetylbenzofuran (1 g, 0.0062 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.65 g, 0.0093 mmol) and anhydrous K2CO3 (1.29 g, 0.0093 mmol) were taken in EtOH: H2O (3:1, 10 mL) and refluxed for 3 h. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured into ice cold water. The separated white solid was filtered, washed with water and dried. It was recrystallized from EtOH.
Colourless prisms were obtained from the solvent system: ethyl acetate: methanol (4:1) by slow evapouration technique.
S5. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1. The H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and O—H = 0.82 Å. The isotropic displacement parametersfor all H atoms were set to 1.2 times Ueq(Caromatic) and 1.5 times Ueq(Cmethyl, O).

Special details
| Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |
