Crystal structure of N-(1H-indol-2-yl­methyl­idene)-4-meth­oxy­aniline

The mol­ecule of the title compound contains an essentially planar indole ring system and a phenyl ring. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by a weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a two-dimensional network structure.

Abstract

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₄N₂O, contains an essentially planar indole ring system and a phenyl ring. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by a weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a one-dimensional column structure along the b-axis direction. These columns are linked by other C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a two-dimensional network structure.

Chemical context

Indole and its derivatives are useful starting compounds to derive pharmaceutical (Nalli et al., 2020 ▸) and biological materials (Arumugam et al., 2021 ▸). Indole can function as a hydrogen-bond donor because of the high acidity of the hydrogen atom at position 1. The introduction of a hydrogen-bond acceptor to position 2 of the indole ring forms a five-to-seven-membered intra­molecular hydrogen-bonded ring (Nosenko, et al., 2008 ▸). In this work, a Schiff base including an indole ring, N-(indol-2-yl­methyl­idene)-4-meth­oxy­aniline, was newly synthesized. Similar Schiff bases such as salicyl­idene­amines often function as bidentate ligands (Wang et al., 2018 ▸). Whereas salicyl­idene­amines form intra­molecular hydrogen bonds between coordination site atoms, such intra­molecular inter­actions are absent from the crystal structure of the title compound. We report herein on its mol­ecular and crystal structure.

Structural commentary

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1 ▸. The C=N double bond adopts an E configuration. The indole moiety is almost planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.009 (1) Å. The bond lengths and angles in the title mol­ecule are normal and agree with those in other indole imine compounds (IWIGUS; Suresh et al., 2016 ▸; KEVLON; Ho et al., 2006 ▸). The dihedral angle between the indole system and the benzene ring is 9.89 (5)°. In the related compound IWIGUS, the dihedral angles between the indole system and the benzene ring disordered over two sets of sites are widened to 81.8 (3) and 85.2 (3)° due to two isopropyl substituents in the benzene ring. There is no intra­molecular hydrogen bond in the title compound, because the N2—H2⋯N3 angle is as small as 94.4 (10)°; however, the N2⋯N3 distance is 2.8633 (16) Å, and the N2—C4—C12—N3 torsion angle is 3.94 (19)°. Although no intra­molecular hydrogen bond is observed, a broad peak assigned for the N—H proton is seen in the ¹H NMR spectrum of the title compound in a CDCl₃ medium and this suggests that the compound forms an intra­molecular hydrogen bond in solution (see Synthesis and crystallization).

Supra­molecular features

The title compound contains an N—H group, which is a hydrogen-bond donor, and an imino group, which is a hydrogen-bond acceptor, but neither of them forms an inter­molecular hydrogen bond in the crystal. Compounds containing a similar indol-2-yl­methyl­idene-aniline fragment with a cis-conformation of the C—C single bond between the N atoms often form dimers by inter­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds (see Database survey). However, in the crystal the mol­ecules of the title compound are linked by a weak inter­molecular C10—H10⋯O1ⁱ hydrogen bond and C—H⋯π inter­actions [C17—H17⋯Cg1ⁱ and C19—H19C⋯Cg2ⁱ; Cg1 is the centroid of the N2/C4–C6/C11 ring and Cg2 is the centroid of the C6–C11 ring; symmetry code: (i)  − x,  + y,  − z], forming columns along the b-axis direction (Fig. 2 ▸, Table 1 ▸). Besides this, the mol­ecules belonging to different columns are joined by other C—H⋯π inter­actions [C14—H14⋯Cg1ⁱⁱ and C15—H15⋯Cg2ⁱⁱ; symmetry code: (ii)  − x, −  + y,  − z] (Fig. 3 ▸, Table 1 ▸). As a result, the inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions form a two-dimensional network structure (Fig. 4 ▸).

Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.42, update of May 2021; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) using ConQuest (Bruno et al., 2002 ▸) for indole derivatives gave 5272 hits, and for the (1H-indol-2-yl)methanimine skeleton gave 86 hits. Among these, the imino N atom bonded to an H atom gave one hit, to an N atom gave 24 hits, and to a C atom gave 61 hits. A search for the indol-2-yl­methyl­idene-aniline fragment gave 30 hits, and those containing a (1H-indol-2-yl)methyl­idene-aniline fragment with a cis-conformation of the C—C single bond gave seven hits. These seven compounds include five examples of dimers linked by complementary N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds (FORJAA; Li et al., 2019 ▸; IWIGUS; Suresh et al., 2016 ▸; KEZCUQ; Ariyasu et al., 2016 ▸; VACKES; Gadekar et al., 2016 ▸; WAGCEP; Tian et al., 2016 ▸), one example of a one-dimensional-chain structure (UWUSAI; Kalalbandi & Seetharamappa, 2016 ▸), and one example of a monomer protected from hydrogen bonding by steric hindrance (KEVLON; Ho et al., 2006 ▸). These structures contain inter­molecular or intra­molecular hydrogen bonds involving the N—H or the imino groups. Of these structures, the compounds most closely related to the title compound are N-(2,6-diiso­propyl­phen­yl)-1-(1H-indol-2-yl)methanimine (IWIGUS; Suresh et al., 2016 ▸), 4,6-dimeth­oxy-3-methyl-2,7-bis­[(phenyl­imino)­meth­yl]indole (KEVLON; Ho et al., 2006 ▸) and 2-(phenyl-N-oxido­imino­meth­yl)-3-phenyl­amino­indole (CIP­WED; Greci & Sgarabotto, 1984 ▸). In the crystal of IWIGUS, which features a large dihedral angle between the indole and benzene rings, two neighbouring mol­ecules are associated through pairs of N—H⋯N inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, forming a centrosymmetric dimer. The crystal structure of an indol-2-yl­methyl­idene-aniline compound without a hydrogen bond between the N—H and imino groups has not yet been reported. In an almost planar mol­ecule without a bulky substituent such as the tile compound, the formation of a dimer by inter­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding is probably not appropriate for the crystal packing.

Synthesis and crystallization

Indole-2-carbaldehyde (145 mg, 1.00 mmol) and p-anisidine (148 mg, 1.20 mmol) were dissolved in toluene (20 mL), and the solution was refluxed under inert gas for 6 h, followed by evaporation. The residue was purified by recrystallization from a solvent mixture of acetone and n-hexane (1:1), and the title compound was then obtained (212 mg, 0.848 mmol, 84.8%) as a pale-red powder. The recrystallization of the title compound from a mixture of acetone and methanol afforded single crystals suitable for X-ray structure analysis. ¹H NMR (CDCl₃, 400 MHz) δ = 3.84 (s, 3H, OCH₃), 6.93–6.97 (m, 3H, ArH), 7.13 (td, 1H, J_ortho = 7.5 Hz, J_meta = 1.0 Hz, ArH), 7.25–7.31 (m, 3H, ArH), 7.40 (dd, 1H, J_ortho = 8.3 Hz, J_meta = 0.9 Hz, ArH), 7.66 (d, 1H, J_ortho = 8.0 Hz, ArH), 8.48 (s, 1H, N=CH), 9.25 (br, 1H, NH). HR–MS (m/z): calculated for [C₁₆H₁₅N_2O]⁺, m/z = 251.1179; found, 251.1192.

Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. The H atom attached to N2 was located in a difference-Fourier map and freely refined. The C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model: C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å with U _iso(H) = 1.2U _eq(C).

Special details

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

Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt).
