(Received 26 June 2012; accepted 6 August 2012; online 11 August 2012)

In the title compound, C5H4BrNO2, the non-H atoms of the pyrrole ring and the Br atom are approximately coplanar, with an r.m.s. deviation from the best fit plane of 0.025 (6) Å;. The dihedral angle between the plane of the carb­oxy group and this plane is 14.1 (2)°. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules together, forming corrugated sheets parallel to the bc plane.

Comment top

Pyrrole derivatives are well known in many marine organisms (Faulkner, 2002), some show important bioactivities, such as antitumor activity (Banwell et al., 2006) and protein kinase inhibiting activity (Sosa et al., 2002). These are the reasons why they have attracted our interest. This study is relevant to our previous studies on Methyl 2-(4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamido)propionate (Zeng et al., 2007) and 1H-Pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (Tang et al., 2008).

In the title molecule, bond lengths and angles are unexceptional. The non-H atoms of the pyrrole ring and Br atom are approximately coplanar (plane 1), with r.m.s. deviation from the best fit plane of 0.025 (6)°, the dihedral angle between the carboxy plane and Plane 1 is 14.1 (2)°. The OH hydrogen atom is disordered over two positions (shown as in Fig. 1), which form weak intermolecular O2—H2···O1 hydrogen bonds respectively (Table 1). In the crystal, the above hydrogen bonds link the molecules into corrugated sheets parallel to the bc plane (shown as in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).

Experimental top

The methyl 4-bromopyrrole-2-carbonylaminoacetate (1.30 g, 5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.38 g, 10 mmol) were added to acetonitrile (20 ml), the mixture was stirred at reflux for 24 h. After the reaction mixture was cooled and filtered, the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo, and then the residue was chromatographed over Si gel 60 using EtOAc-petroleum ether (1:2.5) as eluting solvent and the title compound (I) was obtained (55.2% yield). Light yellow monoclinic crystals suitable for X-ray analysis (m.p. 424 K) grew over a period of one week when the EtOH solution of I was exposed to the air at room temperature.

Refinement top

All non-H atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. The H atoms except the H(OH) were positioned geometrically[C—H = 0.93 Å for CH, and N—H = 0.86 Å] and refined using a riding model, with Uiso = 1.2Ueq of the parent atom. The H atoms attached to hydroxy O atoms were found automatically.

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.
