Comment top

Most Schiff bases possess antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antitoxic activities (Williams, 1972), and sulfur-containing Schiff bases are particularly effective. For example, the 4-amino-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione derivative of p-nitrophenylaldehyde is known as a highly effective inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus (Liu et al., 1999). As part of our continuing study of Schiff bases of amine and 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, we have structurally characterized the title compounds, (I) (Fig. 1) (Kahveci et al., 2000; Çoruh et al., 2003; Işık et al., 2003).

The bonds and angles in (I) (Table 1) are consistent with those in similar substituted triazoles (Kahveci et al., 2000; Çoruh et al., 2003; Işık et al., 2003). Benzyl rings and 1,2,4-triazole ring are almost planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.008 (2) Å for N2. The dihedral angles between the 1,2,4-triazole ring and benzyl rings C1–C6 and C11–C16 are 179.3 (1) and 104.9 (1)°, respectively, and the dihedral angle between the benzyl rings is 104.9 (1)°.

The molecules of (I) form hydrogen-bonded dimers through the N—H···O interactions involving triazole atom O1 and the adjacent protonated N2 atom on the ring, shown as dashed lines in Fig.2. This feature appears to be common in Schiff bases of 4-amino-3-alkyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones (Sen et al., 1998). The molecule has also an intramolecular C7—H7···O1 contact (Table 2).

Experimental top

The corresponding amino compound (1.90 g., 0.01 mol) was heated in an oil both with 4-fluorobenzene (1.04 ml, 0.01 mol) at 428–433 K for one hour and then allowed to cool. The solid product was recrystallized from ethanol (yield; 96%) to give the desired compound (I) (m.p. = 466–467 K). Calculated: C 64.86, H 4.42, N 18.91%; found: C 64.83, H 4.26, N 18.35%. IR data (KBr/cm−1): 3250 (N—H), 1720 (CO), 1620, 1600 (CN), 700, 680, 840 (aromatic). 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ/p.p.m.): 4.18 (CH2,s, 2H), 9,78 (CH, s, 1H), 10.10 (NH, s, 1H); Ar—H: 7.04–7.40 (m, 7H), 7.70 (d, 2H).

Refinement top

H atoms were located geometrically and refined using a riding model, fixing the aromatic C—H distance at 0.93 Å, the C—H2 distance 0.97 Å and the N—H distance at 0.86 Å.

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.
