The compound (E)-2-[(2-Methoxyphenylimino)methyl]-4-bromophenol was prepared by reflux a mixture of a solution containing 5-bromosalicylaldehyde (0.05 g 0.25 mmol) in 20 ml e thanol and a solution containing o-Anisidine (0.03 g 0.37 mmol) in 20 ml e thanol. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h under reflux. The crystals of (E)-2-[(2-Methoxyphenylimino)methyl]-4-bromophenol suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from ethylalcohol by slow evaporation (yield % 70; m.p. 385–387 K).
The H2 atom was located in a difference map and refined freely (distances given in Table 2). All other H atoms were placed in calculated positions and constrained to ride on their parents atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C).
Schiff bases have been extensively used as ligands in the field of coordination chemistry (Calligaris et al., 1972). There are two characteristic properties of Schiff bases, viz. photochromism and thermochromism (Cohen et al., 1964). These properties result from proton transfer from the hydroxyl O atom to the imine N atom (Hadjoudis et al., 1987). Schiff bases display two possible tautomeric forms, namely the phenol–imine and keto–amine forms. In the solid state, the keto–amine tautomer has been found in naphthaldimine (Hökelek et al., 2000). Nevertheless, in the solid state, it has been established that there is keto–amine tautomerism in naphthaldimine, while the phenol–imine form exists in salicylaldimine Schiff bases (Dey et al., 2001). Our investigations show that compound (I) adopts the phenol–imine tautomeric form. An ORTEP-3 (Farrugia, 1997) plot of the molecule of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The C8—N1 and C1—C7 bond lengths are 1.413 (3) and 1.453 (3) Å, respectively (Table 1), and agree with the corresponding distances in (E)-2-Methoxy-6-[(2-trifluoromethylphenylimino)methyl]phenol [1.418 (5) and 1.454 (5) Å; Şahin et al., 2005]. The N1═C7 bond length of 1.274 (3) Å is typical of a double bond, similar to the corresponding bond length in N-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]salicylaldimine [1.276 (4) Å; Karadayı et al., 2003]. The O2—C4 distance of 1.338 (3) Å is close to the value of 1.349 (6) Å in 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methoxyazobenzene (Işık et al., 1998).
Fig. 1 also shows a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond (O2—H2···N1) can be described as an S(6) motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The O1—N1 distance of 2.575 (3) Å is comparable to those observed for analogous hydrogen bonds in (E)-2-[4-(Dimethylamino)phenyliminomethyl]-6-methylphenol [2.574 (3) Å; Gül et al., 2007].
Schiff base compounds can be classified by their photochromic and thermochromic characteristics (Cohen et al., 1964; Hadjoudis et al., 1987). For other relevant literature, see: Bernstein et al. (1995); Calligaris et al. (1972); Dey et al. (2001); Farrugia (1999); Gül et al. (2007); Hökelek et al. (2000); Işık et al. (1998); Karadayı et al. (2003); Şahin et al. (2005).

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. |
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 > σ(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. |

Schiff bases have been extensively used as ligands in the field of coordination chemistry (Calligaris et al., 1972). There are two characteristic properties of Schiff bases, viz. photochromism and thermochromism (Cohen et al., 1964). These properties result from proton transfer from the hydroxyl O atom to the imine N atom (Hadjoudis et al., 1987). Schiff bases display two possible tautomeric forms, namely the phenol–imine and keto–amine forms. In the solid state, the keto–amine tautomer has been found in naphthaldimine (Hökelek et al., 2000). Nevertheless, in the solid state, it has been established that there is keto–amine tautomerism in naphthaldimine, while the phenol–imine form exists in salicylaldimine Schiff bases (Dey et al., 2001). Our investigations show that compound (I) adopts the phenol–imine tautomeric form. An ORTEP-3 (Farrugia, 1997) plot of the molecule of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The C8—N1 and C1—C7 bond lengths are 1.413 (3) and 1.453 (3) Å, respectively (Table 1), and agree with the corresponding distances in (E)-2-Methoxy-6-[(2-trifluoromethylphenylimino)methyl]phenol [1.418 (5) and 1.454 (5) Å; Şahin et al., 2005]. The N1═C7 bond length of 1.274 (3) Å is typical of a double bond, similar to the corresponding bond length in N-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]salicylaldimine [1.276 (4) Å; Karadayı et al., 2003]. The O2—C4 distance of 1.338 (3) Å is close to the value of 1.349 (6) Å in 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methoxyazobenzene (Işık et al., 1998).
Fig. 1 also shows a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond (O2—H2···N1) can be described as an S(6) motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The O1—N1 distance of 2.575 (3) Å is comparable to those observed for analogous hydrogen bonds in (E)-2-[4-(Dimethylamino)phenyliminomethyl]-6-methylphenol [2.574 (3) Å; Gül et al., 2007].
