Abstract
In the title compound {systematic name: 4,4′-[1,1′-(hydrazinediylidene)bis(ethan-1-yl-1-ylidene)]bis(benzene-1,3-diol)}, C16H16N2O4·2C3H7NO, the (E,E)-2′,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone azine molecule is centrosymmetric, the mid-point of the N—N bond being located on an inversion centre. All the non-H atoms of the azine molecule are approximately coplanar, the maximum deviation being 0.017 (2) Å. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs between the azine N atom and the hydroxy group. In the crystal, azine and dimethylformamide solvent molecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
Chemical context
Hydrazones are important compounds due to their possible applications in material and coordination chemistry. Fluorescence properties of hydrazones have been reported (Qin et al., 2009 ▸). Many organometallic compounds containing acylhydrazone ligands have also been synthesized for their potential magneto-chemical properties (Guo et al., 2010 ▸). In particular, they have received increasing interest for their biological activity as antioxidants (Kitaev et al., 1970 ▸), and their antimicrobial (Ramamohan et al., 1995 ▸) and antiviral properties (El-Tabl et al., 2008 ▸; Rollas & Küçükgüzel, 2007 ▸).
Although 2′,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone azine has been prepared and studied as a fluorescent probe, its structure has not been reported. As a part of our studies on synthesis and structural peculiarities of Schiff base ligands derived from 2′,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone and hydrazine, we determined the structure of the title compound, (E,E)-2′,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone azine dimethylformamide disolvate, (I).
Structural commentary
The molecular structure of the title compound is depicted in Fig. 1 ▸. The asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule of (E,E)-2′,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone azine and one dimethylformamide (DMF) molecule. The complete azine molecule is centrosymmetric and exists in an E,E configuration with respect to the two C=N bonds. The N1—C2 bond length of 1.301 (3) Å shows double-bond character. The C—O bond lengths [1.349 (3) and 1.358 (3) Å] are comparable with similar bonds in related structures (Chantrapromma et al., 2011 ▸; Tai et al., 2008 ▸). All the non-H atoms of the azine molecule are approximately coplanar. The nine atoms (i.e. N1, C1 and C2, and the six C atoms in the benzene ring) are essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.0024 Å. Each hydroxy group is nearly coplanar with its attached benzene ring; the r.m.s. deviation is 0.0045 Å for the seven non-H atoms. Intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds exist in the azine molecule (Table 1 ▸).

Database survey
A search of Cambridge Structural Database (Groom & Allen, 2014 ▸) for acetophenone azine gave 105 hits (excluding organometallics). There are four reported crystal structures of acetophenone azine containing hydroxy groups at the 2-position of benzene rings: (E,E)-2,2′-(1,1′-azinodiethylidyne)diphenol (Tai et al., 2008 ▸), (E,E)-4,4′-dichloro-2,2′-(1,1′-azinodiethylidyne)diphenol (Chang et al., 2007 ▸), (E,E)-3,3′-diethoxy-2,2′-(1,1′-azinodiethylidyne)diphenol (Fayos et al., 1980 ▸) and (E,E)-4,4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-(1,1′-azinodiethylidyne)diphenol (Zhang et al., 2008 ▸).
Synthesis and crystallization
A mixture of 2′,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone (3.06 g, 20 mmol), hydrazine sulfate (1.28 g, 10 mmol) and triethylamine (3.03 g, 30 mmol) in ethanol (40 ml) was heated under reflux for 24 h. After cooling, the precipitate was filtrated and washed with water to afford a yellow solid. Crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of the solid in DMF at room temperature for 5 d (yield 1.20 g, 75%; m.p: 484–485 K). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 13.59 (s, 2H, OH), 10.14 (s, 2H, OH), 7.58–7.61 (d, 2H, ArH), 6.37–6.41 (d, 2H, ArH), 6.30–6.31 (s, 2H, ArH), 3.34 (d, 6H, CH3).
Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. H atoms were placed geometrically (C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and O—H = 0.82 Å) and refined as riding, with U iso(H) = 1.2U eq(C) for aromatic H atoms or 1.5U eq(C,O) for methyl and hydroxy groups.

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. |
