In the title compound, C18H16N2O2, the dihedral angle between the pyrrole rings is 79.47 (9)°, with the N—H groups approximately orthogonal (H—N⋯N—H pseudo torsion angle = −106°). In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into [11[\overline{1}]] chains. A C—H⋯O inter­action is also observed.

Structure description

Dipyrro­methane-di­aldehydes are inter­mediates for the preparation of various macrocyclic (Love et al., 2003[Love, J. B., Blake, A. J., Wilson, C., Reid, S. D., Novak, A. & Hitchcock, P. B. (2003). Chem. Commun. pp. 1682-1684.]) and acyclic di­imino­dipyrro­methane Schiff bases (e.g.: Deliomeroglu et al., 2016[Deliomeroglu, M. K., Lynch, V. M. & Sessler, J. L. (2016). Chem. Sci. 7, 3843-3850.]). As a part of our studies in this area, we now report the crystal structure of the title compound.

The dihedral angles between the N1-pyrrole ring (A), N2-pyrrole ring (B) and the C13–C18 phenyl ring (C) are A/B = 79.47 (9), A/C = 87.21 (8) and B/C = 70.40 (8)°. The N1—C6—C7—O1 [−2.7 (2)°] and N2—C11—C12—O2 [2.8 (2)°] torsion angles indicate that the aldehyde groups are almost coplanar with their adjacent pyrrole ring systems (Fig. 1[link]).

In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 1[link]) link the mol­ecules into [11[\overline{1}]] chains (Fig. 2[link]). A weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bond consolidates the chains. The Hirshfeld surface and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were generated with CrystalExplorer17.5 (Turner et al., 2017[Turner, M. J., McKinnon, J. J., Wolff, S. K., Grimwood, D. J., Spackman, P. R., Jayatilaka, D. & Spackman, M. A. (2017). CrystalExplorer17. University of Western Australia. https://hirshfeldsurface.net]) (see supplementary materials). The percentage contributions from the different inter­atomic contacts to the Hirshfeld surfaces are as follows: H⋯H (47.9%), C⋯H/H⋯C (27.5%), O⋯H/H⋯O (21.5%), N⋯H/H⋯N (1.5%) and C⋯O/O⋯C (1.5%).

Synthesis and crystallization

The title compound, C18H16N2O2 was prepared by the reported method (Fig. 3[link]); Muwal et al. 2018[Muwal, P. K., Nayal, A., Jaiswal, M. K. & Pandey, P. S. (2018). Tetrahedron Lett. 59, 29-32.]) and colourless cubes were recrystallized from a toluene–hexane solvent mixture at −4°C.

Special details top

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.
