(E)-3-{[(2-Bromo-3-methylphenyl)imino]methyl)benzene-1,2-diol: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

Abstract

The title compound, C14H12BrNO2, was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-bromo-3-methylaniline. It crystallizes in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P (1) over bar. The configuration about the C=N bond is E. The dihedral angle between the planes of the 5-(2-bromo-3-methylphenyl ring and the catechol ring is 2.80 (17)degrees. In the crystal, O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen-bond interactions consolidate the crystal packing.
