The precursor bis(3-methoxysalicylaldimine)-o-phenylene was prepared by condensing 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde with o-phenylenediamine. To a solution of the Schiff base (0.38 g, 1 mol) in methanol (80 ml) at room temperature was added solid potassium borohydride (0.27 g, 5 mol). The solution was stirred for several hours until the yellow color had disappeared. The solvent was removed and dichloromethane (50 ml) was added. A small amount of anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to remove traces of water. The colorless solution was dried to obtain a brown solid. This was purified by recrystallization from anhydrous methanol to give brown crystals of (I) in about 60% yield. CH&N elemental analysis. Calculated for C22H24N2O4: C 69.46, H 6.36, N 7.36; found: C 69.43, H 6.44, N 7.29%.
Carbon-bound hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).
The amino and hydroxy H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with a distance restraint of N—H = O—H = 0.85±0.01 Å; their Uiso vaules were freely refined.
In this study, we synthesized the Schiff base, 1,2-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)benzene, whose constitution is similar to that of the heterocyclic analog, 3,4-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)pyridine, and whose structure we have recently reported (Bi et al., 2007). We then reduced the carbon–nitrogen double-bond of the Schiff base to form the title double-amine, which should function as a flexible tetradentate chelate in the formation of metal complexes.
For 1,2-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)benzene Schiff base itself, the rigid nature is seen is the strained bond dimensions found in, for example, the manganese (Przychodzeń et al., 2005), cobalt (Wu et al., 2006) and copper (Salmon et al., 2005) complexes.

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. |

In this study, we synthesized the Schiff base, 1,2-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)benzene, whose constitution is similar to that of the heterocyclic analog, 3,4-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)pyridine, and whose structure we have recently reported (Bi et al., 2007). We then reduced the carbon–nitrogen double-bond of the Schiff base to form the title double-amine, which should function as a flexible tetradentate chelate in the formation of metal complexes.
For 1,2-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)benzene Schiff base itself, the rigid nature is seen is the strained bond dimensions found in, for example, the manganese (Przychodzeń et al., 2005), cobalt (Wu et al., 2006) and copper (Salmon et al., 2005) complexes.
