In the title compound, C14H12BrN3O3, the two benzene rings are slightly twisted, making a dihedral angle of 9.9 (3)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter­molecular N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

4-Nitrophenylhydrazine has applications in organic synthesis and some of its derivatives have been shown to be potentially DNA-damaging and mutagenic agents (Okabe et al.,1993). As a continuation of this work, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound(I).

The 4-nitrophenyl group and the methyl benzene rings areslightly twisted making a dihedral angle of 9.9 (3)° (Fig. 1). The N1/O1/O2 nitro group is co-planar with its attached benzene ring [dihedral angle =1.4 (2)°].

The intermolecular N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds can help stabilizing the molecular structure·(Table 1, Fig.2)

Experimental top

4-Nitrophenylhydrazine (1 mmol, 0.153 g) was dissolved in anhydrous methanol, H2SO4 (98% 0.5 ml) was added to this, the mixture was stirred for several minitutes at 351 K, 3-Bromo-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (1 mmol 0.215 g) in methanol (8 ml) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at refluxing temperature for 2 h. The product was isolated and recrystallized in dichloromethane, brown single crystals of (I) was obtained after 1 d.

Refinement top

All H atoms attached to C atoms and N atom were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic) or 0.96 Å (methy) and N—H = 0.86 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(Caromatic, N) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(methyl).

Special details top

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.
