In the crystal structure of the title compound, C11H10N2O·H2O, the solvent water mol­ecule links the organic mol­ecules through O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains that run diagonally across the bc face. These chains are connected to adjacent chains through weak C—H⋯O inter­actions, resulting in hydrogen-bonded sheets extending along the b and c axes. The sheets are connected along the a axis through ππ inter­actions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.7571 (9) and 3.7231 (9) Å.

Comment top

The title compound is an intermediate product in the synthetic route to an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) chelating ligand bearing a pyridine backbone. The anhydrous form of the compound is available in chemical book database with CAS No. 10041–06-2. Neither structure of the hydrated nor the anhydrous forms of the title compound have been reported. Our synthetic route and the synthons used are different from those reported in the synthesis of the anhydrous form of the title compound. Absolute configuration of the title compound obtained in pure form from column chromatography using hexane:chloroform (6:4) solvent system was assigned by NMR and IR spectroscopy. Monohydrate block crystals of (I) were recrystallized from the same solvent system. The imidazole N(2) – phenyl carbon bond [C(9)—N(2)] is 1.3107 (16) Å. The one molecule of water binds as water of crystallization to the organic molecule, and is a constituent of the asymmetric unit cell. Molecules of (I) are stabilized through an extensive chain of hydrogen bonded network involving neighbouring methoxy (O—H···O) and imidazolium (N—H···O) moieties linked by the water of crystallization. Imidazole analogues of (I) with bonds to the phenyl group via carbon have been reported by Gayathri et al. (2010); while Zheng et al. (2011) have reported imidazole bonded to a phenyl group via nitrogen. Other related compounds have been reported by Ishihara et al. (1992).

Experimental top

The compound was synthesized by the modification of the method of Corberán et al. (2008). A 150 ml round bottom flask containing imidazole (0.01 mol, 0.68 g, Fluka AG) with KOH (0.015 mol, 0.84 g, Merck) was stirred at room temperature in DMSO (30 ml, Merck) for 2 h. Thereafter, para-choloroacetophenone (0.01 mol, 1.34 ml, Aldrich) was added dropwise, and then refluxed at 100 °C for 24 h. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool down to room temperature, washed and diluted with chilled distilled water till it became neutral. Addition of distilled water to the contents of the reaction flask gave a muddy emulsion which took 24 h to partition when extracted with chloroform (6x10 ml). The resulting organic components were dried in anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo yielding crude dark brown oily liquid (1.694 g). Thin layer chromatography of the crude product showed that it contained the expected product (Rf value 0.45 in ethyl acetate:methanol 4:6 solvent system) contaminated with unreacted imidazole and para-chloroacetophenone. Column chromatography of the crude product using hexane:chlorofom solvent system afforded the title compound as block-shaped light green crystals (0.987 g, 48.4% yield), m.p. = 119–122 °C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 8.09(d), 7.95(s), 7.51(d), 7.35(s), 7.25(s), and 1.62(s). 13C NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 196.5 (carbonyl CO), 140.8, 135.8, 135.4, 131.2, 130.4, 120.7, 117.7, 26.61(CH3). IR (ATR, cm-1): 1665(C=O), 1606(C=N), 1530(N—C), 956(C=C), 2222(C—H), 814(para substituted benzene), 3202 (water of crystallization absorbance band).

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.96 Å for Me H atoms and 0.93 Å for aromatic H atoms; Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (1.5 for Me groups)] and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation. The O—H H-atom was located in a difference map and freely refined with O—H = 0.87 – 0.91 Å (Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

Experimental. Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.96 Å for Me H atoms and 0.93 Å for aromatic H atoms; Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (1.5 for Me groups)] and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation. The O—H H-atom was located in a difference map and freely refined with O—H = 0.87 – 0.91 Å (Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

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. The following ALERTS were generated. Each ALERT has the format test-name_ALERT_alert-type_alert-level.

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.
