In the title compound, C7H5BrO3, the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring and the carb­oxy­lic acid group is 4.8 (4)°, and an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, carb­oxy­lic acid inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R22(8) loops. Short Br⋯Br contacts [3.4442 (5) Å] between the mol­ecules of the adjacent dimers leads to a one-dimensional architecture.

Structure description

Derivatives of salicylic acid have many biological effects, such as anti-malarial (Fritzson et al., 2011[Fritzson, I., Bedingfield, P. T. P., Sundin, A. P., McConkey, G. & Nilsson, U. J. (2011). Med. Chem. Commun. 2, 895-898.]), anti­fungal (Bassoli et al., 2008[Bassoli, A., Borgonovo, G., Caimi, S., Farina, G. & Moretti, M. (2008). Open Nat. Prod. J. 1, 14-19.]) and herbicidal activities (Silverman et al., 2005[Silverman, F. P., Petracek, P. D., Heiman, D. F., Ju, Z., Fledderman, C. M. & Warrior, P. (2005). J. Agric. Food Chem. 53, 9769-9774.]). As part of our studies in this area, the crystal structure of the title compound was studied.

The title mol­ecule (I) is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.035 Å) and an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring (Fig. 1[link] and Table 1[link]). The plane defined by the non-H atoms of the carboxyl group is twisted slightly by 4.8 (4)° to the mean plane of the phenyl ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate [R_{2}^{2}](8) loops. Short Br⋯Br contacts [3.4442 (5) Å] between the mol­ecules of the adjacent [R_{2}^{2}](8) dimers leads to a one-dimensional architecture (Fig. 2[link]).

The crystal structure of an isomer of the title mol­ecule, 3-bromo-2-hy­droxy­benzoic acid (II) has been reported recently (Laus et al., 2015[Laus, G., Kahlenberg, V., Gelbrich, T., Nerdinger, S. & Schottenberger, H. (2015). Acta Cryst. E71, 531-535.]). The mol­ecule of (II) is essentially planar and exhibits an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond with the graph set motif S(6), similar to that observed in (I). Furthermore, in (II) the plane defined by the non-H atoms of the carboxyl group is twisted by an angle of 4.7 (4)° to the mean plane of the phenyl ring, which is almost same as that in (I). However, the crystal structures of the two compounds are very different in terms of the weak inter­actions displayed in them. Both the structures feature a pair of strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generating [R_{2}^{2}](8) loops in the initial stage of packing, but both differ in the second stage of packing. In (I), short Br⋯Br contacts between the [R_{2}^{2}](8) loops leads to a one-dimensional architecture, whereas in (II), C—H⋯O inter­actions between the [R_{2}^{2}](8) loops leads into corrugated sheets which lie parallel to the (10[\overline{3}]) plane.

Synthesis and crystallization

The title compound was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Colourless prisms were recrystallized from a methanol: chloro­form (2:1) solvent mixture.

Introduction top

Derivatives of salicylic acids are of great biological importance (Jack et al., 1997). The salicylic acid derivatives exhibits anti­oxidant, anti­proliferative (Al-Dabbas et al., 2006), cytotoxic activities (Djurendic et al., 2011), anti-inflammatory (Delgado-Rivera et al., 2010) and anti-thrombotic activities (Zavodnik et al., 2009). Further, these derivatives have been studied for anti-malarial (Fritzson et al., 2011), anti­fungal (Bassoli et al., 2008) and herbicidal activities (Silverman et al., 2005). In view of the above fact, the crystal structure of the title compound was studied.

Experimental top

Synthesis and crystallization top

The title compound was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by solvent evaporation technique using methanol:chloro­form (2:1) as the solvent mixture.

Refinement top

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2. Positions of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms were generated in idealized geometries using a riding model with C—H = 0.95 Å and their displacement parameters were set to Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). The H atoms attached to O were identified from difference Fourier maps and their positions refined with restrained distances [O—H = 0.86 (2) Å] and their isotropic thermal displacement parameters were refined freely.

Structure description top

Derivatives of salicylic acid have many biological effects, such as anti-malarial (Fritzson et al., 2011), antifungal (Bassoli et al., 2008) and herbicidal activities (Silverman et al., 2005). As part of our studies in this area, the crystal structure of the title compound was studied.

The title molecule (I) is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.035 Å) and an intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring (Fig. 1 and Table 1). The plane defined by the non-H atoms of the carboxyl group is twisted slightly by 4.8 (4)° to the mean plane of the phenyl ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H···O hydrogen bonds generate R22(8) loops. Short Br···Br contacts [3.4442 (5) Å] between the molecules of the adjacent R22(8) dimers leads to a one-dimensional architecture (Fig. 2).

The crystal structure of an isomer of the title molecule, 3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (II) has been reported recently (Laus et al., 2015). The molecule of (II) is essentially planar and exhibits an intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bond with the graph set motif S(6), similar to that observed in (I). Furthermore, in (II) the plane defined by the non-H atoms of the carboxyl group is twisted by an angle of 4.7 (4)° to the mean plane of the phenyl ring, which is almost same as that in (I). However, the crystal structures of the two compounds are very different in terms of the weak interactions displayed in them. Both the structures feature a pair of strong O—H···O hydrogen bonds generating R22(8) loops in the initial stage of packing, but both differ in the second stage of packing. In (I), short Br···Br contacts between the R22(8) loops leads to a one-dimensional architecture, whereas in (II), C—H···O interactions between the R22(8) loops leads into corrugated sheets which lie parallel to the (103) plane.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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.
