(Received 10 August 2009; accepted 12 August 2009; online 19 August 2009)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C8H7Br2NO3, comprises two crystallographically independent mol­ecules (A and B). The nitro groups are twisted from the attached benzene rings, making dihedral angles of 39.26 (9) and 35.90 (9)° in mol­ecules A and B, respectively. In each mol­ecule, the dibromo­methyl group is orientated in such a way that the two Br atoms are tilted away from the benzene ring. An inter­esting features of the crystal structure is the two short Br⋯Br inter­actions which, together with inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, link the mol­ecules into an extended three-dimensional network. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions.

Comment top

Brominated organic compounds are important synthetic intermediates and products in organic chemistry (Augustine et al., 2007). They are found in C-C coupling reactions, as precursors to organometallic species and in nucleophilic substitutions (Tyeklar et al., 1993). They are also used for the synthesis of useful pharmaceutical materials and agrochemicals (Derdau et al., 2003). However the use of molecular bromine as an electrophilic brominating reagent has several drawbacks arising from its toxic and corrosive nature and its high reactivity (Tyeklar et al., 1993). Alternative brominating reagents such as N-bromosuccinimide make for easier handling and result in improved selectivity (Khatuya, 2001).

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, there are two crystallographically independent molecules, designated A and B (Fig. 1). In each molecule, the nitro group is twisted from the mean plane of the C1-C6 benzene ring, as shown by the dihedral angle formed between the mean plane through C5/N1/O2/O3 and the C1-C6 benzene ring of 39.26 (9)° in molecule A; the comparable angle is 35.90 (9)° for molecule B. Meanwhile, the dibromomethyl group is orientated in such a way that the two Br atoms are tilted away from the benzene ring. The bond lengths and angles are comparable to those found in related structures (Fun, Chantrapromma, Maity et al., 2009; Fun, Chantrapromma, Sujith et al., 2009; Yeap et al., 2008).

In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the interesting features are the Br1A···Br2B and Br2A···Br1B short interactions (Table 1). Together with intermolecular C7A—H7A···O2B and C8B—H8BA···O1A hydrogen bonds (Table 2), they link the molecules into a three-dimensional extended network. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C8A—H8AA···Cg2 interactions (Table 2).

Experimental top

Benzoyl peroxide (0.20 g, 10 %) and N-bromosuccinimide (6.38 g, 0.0358 mol) were added in portions to a solution of 4-methyl-2-nitroanisole (2.00 g, 0.0119 mol) in CCl4 (20 ml). The reaction mixture was heated at 85 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere for 12 h. The reaction mass was cooled and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to produce a crude product. The latter was recrystallized with hexane to afford the title compound as a colourless crystalline solid. The yield was 3.50 g, 92 %. M.p. 370–373 K.

Refinement top

The H-atoms bound to C7A and C7B were located from the difference Fourier map and allowed to refine freely. The other H-atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic, and C—H = 0.96 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl group; these aromatic and methyl group H atoms were refined as riding on their parent atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl group.

Special details top

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cyrosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1)K.

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.

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 > 2sigma(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.
