(Received 26 June 2009; accepted 29 June 2009; online 4 July 2009)

In the title compound, C15H12Br2N2O2, the mol­ecule adopts an E conformation about the C=N double bond and a transoid conformation about the central N—N bond, with a C(=O)—N—N—C(H) dihedral angle of 169.4 (4)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to C(4) chains. The packing also features slipped ππ stacking inter­actions, with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.838 (3) Å and a slippage of 1.19 Å.

Comment top

As part of our ongoing studies of substituted benzohydrazides (Narayana et al., 2007; Butcher et al., 2007) we now describe the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1).

The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the A (C1–C6) and B (C10–C15) rings is 18.6 (3)°. Atom C7 is dispalaced from the A plane by 0.064 (9)Å. The molecule is significantly twisted about the N1—N2 bond.

In the crystal, an intermolecular N—H···O interaction occurs (Table 2), leading to C(4) chains (Fig. 2) of molecules propagating in [001]. The shortest intermolecular aromatic ring centroid–centroid separation is 3.638 (3)Å, indicative of weak π-π stacking.

Experimental top

A mixture of 2-bromobenzaldehyde (1.85 g, 0.01 mol) and 2-bromo-5-methoxybenzo-hydrazide (2.45 g, 0.01mol) in 15 ml of ethanol containing 2 drops of 4 M hydrochloric acid was refluxed for 3 hours. On cooling, the solid separated was filtered and recrystallized from ethyl alcohol to yield colourless blocks of (I) (m.p: 440-442 K). Analysis (%) for C15H12Br2N2O2: calculated (found): C 43.73 (43.66), H 2.94 (2.91), N 6.80 (6.76).

Refinement top

The N-bound H atom was located in a difference map and its position was freely refined. All the other H atoms were placed in idealized locations (C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C). The methyl group was allowed to rotate, but not to tip, to best fit the electron density.

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.
