The title compound, C14H11ClN2O4, is a Schiff base. Its mol­ecule is approximatelly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.096 (4) Å from planarity for the methyl C atom of the meth­oxy group. The dihedral angle between the 5-chloro-2-meth­oxy­phenyl ring and the phenol ring is 2.40 (10)°. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and ππ stacking inter­actions consolidate the crystal packing.

Structure description

Many Schiff bases are biologically active, making this class of compounds important for many different disciplines in chemistry. Moreover, some Schiff bases show phototochromism which can be used for radiation intensity measurements, display systems or optical devices (Yıldız et al., 2005[Yıldız, M., Ünver, H., Dülger, B., Erdener, D., Ocak, N., Erdönmez, A. & Durlu, T. N. (2005). J. Mol. Struct. 738, 253-260.]; Hadjoudis et al., 1987[Hadjoudis, E., Vittorakis, M. & Moustakali-Mavridis, I. (1987). Tetrahedron, 43, 1345-1360.]). Apart from these areas, Schiff base are versatile complexing agents, with the products known to show anti­fungal, anti­bacterial, herbicidal, anti­cancer, anti­viral, anti­convulsant, diuretic or cytotoxic properties (Cozzi & Alesi, 2004[Cozzi, P. G. & Alesi, S. (2004). Chem. Commun. pp. 2448-2449.]; Shebl & Khalil, 2015[Shebl, M. & Khalil, S. M. E. (2015). Monatsh. Chem. 146, 15-33.]; Tarafder et al., 2002[Tarafder, M. T. H., Chew, K., Crouse, K. A., Ali, A. M., Yamin, B. M. & Fun, H.-K. (2002). Polyhedron, 21, 2683-2690.]). As another class of compounds, nitro­aromatics are common components of explosives, dyes and pesticides and have manifold use in organic synthesis as starting materials or inter­mediates (Yan et al., 2006[Yan, X. F., Xiao, H. M., Gong, X. D. & Ju, X. H. (2006). J. Mol. Struct. Theochem, 764, 141-148.]; Soojhawon et al., 2005[Soojhawon, I., Lokhande, P. D., Kodam, K. M. & Gawai, K. R. (2005). Enzyme Microb. Technol. 37, 527-533.]). Aromatic compounds containing multiple nitro substituents are known to resist electrophilic attack by oxgenases (Hallas & Alexander, 1983[Hallas, L. E. & Alexander, M. (1983). Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 45, 1234-1241.]). On the other hand, nitro­aromatics are industrial waste, directly polluting the environment due to their moderate solubility in water, hence poisoning rivers, ponds and soil (Yan et al., 2006[Yan, X. F., Xiao, H. M., Gong, X. D. & Ju, X. H. (2006). J. Mol. Struct. Theochem, 764, 141-148.]; Soojhawon et al., 2005[Soojhawon, I., Lokhande, P. D., Kodam, K. M. & Gawai, K. R. (2005). Enzyme Microb. Technol. 37, 527-533.]). We have synthesized a Schiff base with an aromatic nitro substituent and report herein on its crystal structure.

The title mol­ecule (Fig. 1[link]) is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.096 (4) Å from planarity for the methyl C atom (C14) of the meth­oxy group. The C7—N2 bond length of 1.270 (3) Å and the C5—O3 bond lengths of 1.328 (3) Å are consistent with a double bond and a single bond, respectively, and are comparable with those of related structures (Kılıç et al., 2009[Kılıç, I., Ağar, E., Erşahin, F. & Işık, Ş. (2009). Acta Cryst. E65, o737.]). The entities A (phenol ring; C1–C6/O3), B (nitro group; O1/O2/N1) and C (5-chloro-2-meth­oxy­phenyl ring; C8–C13/O4/ C14/CI1) are inclined by dihedral angles of A/B = 3.1 (3)°, A/C = 2.40 (10)° and (A+B)/C = 2.15 (9)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond stabilizes the mol­ecular conformation whereas inter­molecular (meth­yl)C—H⋯O(meth­oxy) and (imine)C—H⋯O(nitro) hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of sheets extending parallel to (210) (Fig. 2[link], Table 1[link]). A plane-to-plane distance of 3.379 (3) Å for parallel-aligned sheets indicates the presence of ππ stacking inter­actions in the crystal.

Synthesis and crystallization

The title compound was prepared by refluxing a mixture of 2-hy­droxy-5-nitro­benzaldehyde (0.0069 g, 0.413 mmol) in 20 ml ethanol and 3-chloro-4-meth­oxy­aniline (0.0065 g, 0.413 mmol) in 20 ml ethanol for one hour. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of the resulting solution (yield 35%; m.p 450–452 K).

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.

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.
