(E)-2,4-Dibromo-6-(hydrazinylidenemethyl)phenol

Abstract

The title compound, C₇H₆Br₂N₂O, was obtained from a condensation reaction of 3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and hydrazine hydrate. The molecule is approximately planar, the largest deviation from the mean plane through all of the non-H atoms being 0.053 (1) Å. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond, generating anS(6) ring motif. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H...Br and N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming chains parallel to thebaxis. Molecules are further linked by π–π stacking interactions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.925 (3)–3.926 (3) Å, forming a three-dimensional network.
