Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N-Salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzylamine

Abstract

The title compound, N-salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzylamine, was synthesized and the crystal structure was determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 90 K. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 11.2114(15)Å, b = 12.5960(17)Å, c = 8.5169(12)Å, β = 96.039(2)°, V = 1196.1(3)ų, D_x = 1.453 g/cm³, and Z = 4. The R1 and wR2 values are 0.0358 and 0.0949, respectively, for 2805 reflections. The molecule is not planar with a dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of 66.51(3)°.
