Source of material
All starting materials were used as received. For the recrystallization 2.01 g (10 mmol) 3-bromopicolinic acid was mixed with 10 mL tetrahydrofuran and 1 mL deionized water under room temperature and was stirred to form a clear solution. The solution was filtered and evaporated naturally. Several days later, colorless block crystals of the title compound were obtained, yield 82% (based on the raw 3-bromopicolinic acid).
Experimental details
The structure was solved by direct methods with the SHELXS-2018 program. All H-atoms from C and N atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and refined isotropic (U iso (H) = 1.2U eq (C)) using a riding model with C–H = 0.95 Å. The H-atoms from O atoms positioned using peaks from the difference Fourier map and refined isotropic with the distance of O1–H1 = 0.84 Å and O3–H3 = 0.84 Å (U iso (H) = 1.5U eq (O)). The distance of Br1 and O4 is 3.034 Å, which indicates a short inter HL⃛A contact between Br1 and O4, resulting an Alert level B for checkcif. But there is no reasonable hydrogen bond. There may be some intermolecular weak interaction between Br1 and O4.
Comment
Among the mono-bromide-substituted picolinic acids, including 4-, 5- and 6-bromide-substituted picolinic acids and their derivatives, only the crystal structures of 4-bromopico-linic acid and methyl 5-bromo-6-methylpicolinate have been reported [5, 6]. Some of their metal complexes [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15] and organometal complexes [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22] have been also reported elsewhere. To the best of our knowledge, the crystal structures of 3-bromide-substituted picolinic acid has not been reported. Herein we reported the crystal structure of 3-bromopicolinic acid.
The asymmetric unit is made of two 3-bromopicolinic acid molecules, which show a slightly different conformation about the C1–C2 and C7–C8 bond, respectively. All bond lengths of the title compound are comparable with the reported results [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22]. There is one dimensional chain generated by hydrogen bonds O1–H1⃛N2 and O3–H3⃛N1.
