The title compound was synthesized by adding 6-methoxysalicylaldehyde (0.304 g, 2 mmol) into a solution of o-phenylenediamine (0.108 g, 1 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml). The mixture was refluxed with stirring for 30 min. The resultant red solution was filtered. Orange block-shaped single crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray structure determination were formed after 3 days of slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature.
Hydroxy H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. Methyl H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.98 Å and torsion angles were refined with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). Aromatic H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with C—H = 0.95 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Schiff bases rank among the most versatile synthetic organic intermediates. They are reported to show a variety of biological activities including antifungal (Singh & Dash, 1988; More et al., 2001), antibacterial (Baseer et al., 2000; El-Masry et al., 2000; Kabeer et al., 2001) and anticancer (Kuzmin et al., 2000; Desai et al., 2001) among others. Recently we reported the structure of a copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes with the N,N'-bis(6-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane ligand (Habibi et al., 2007a,b)·As an extension of our investigations of Schiff base ligands and complexes, the title compound (Fig. 1) was synthesized by the reaction of o-phenylenediamine with 6-methoxysalicylaldehyde, and its crystal structure is reported here.
The orientations of the C2–C7 and C16–C21 benzene rings respect to the o-phenylenediamine unit are indicated by the dihedral angles of 73.98 (5)and 2.78 (5)°, respectively. The C2–C7 and C16–C21 benzene rings makes the dihedral angle of 73.14 (5)°. The two methoxy groups are planarly attached to the C2–C7 and C16–C21 benzene rings·The intramolecular O—H···N interactions generate S(6) ring motifs (Table 1 and Fig. 2).

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 rank among the most versatile synthetic organic intermediates. They are reported to show a variety of biological activities including antifungal (Singh & Dash, 1988; More et al., 2001), antibacterial (Baseer et al., 2000; El-Masry et al., 2000; Kabeer et al., 2001) and anticancer (Kuzmin et al., 2000; Desai et al., 2001) among others. Recently we reported the structure of a copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes with the N,N'-bis(6-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane ligand (Habibi et al., 2007a,b)·As an extension of our investigations of Schiff base ligands and complexes, the title compound (Fig. 1) was synthesized by the reaction of o-phenylenediamine with 6-methoxysalicylaldehyde, and its crystal structure is reported here.
The orientations of the C2–C7 and C16–C21 benzene rings respect to the o-phenylenediamine unit are indicated by the dihedral angles of 73.98 (5)and 2.78 (5)°, respectively. The C2–C7 and C16–C21 benzene rings makes the dihedral angle of 73.14 (5)°. The two methoxy groups are planarly attached to the C2–C7 and C16–C21 benzene rings·The intramolecular O—H···N interactions generate S(6) ring motifs (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
