Comment top

Symmetrical and unsymmetrical 1,3,4-oxadiazoles have been reported to be versatile compounds with many properties (Omar et al., 1996; Goswami et al., 1984; Tully et al., 1991; Borg et al., 1999). The most common synthetic approach to 1,3,4-oxadiazoles involves oxidative cyclization from the corresponding aldehyde N-acylhydrazones (Yang & Dai, 1993; Shang, 2006). The title compound, (I), as the oxidative precursor, was synthesized from 4-methoxybenzaldehyde and methyl hydrazinocarboxylate in ethanol under reflux.

Both asymmetric molecules of (I) adopt a trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond (Fig. 1) as discribed previously (Shang et al., 2007). The crystal structure is stabilized mainly through intermolecular N—H··· O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).

Experimental top

A mixture of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (1.36 g, 10 mmol) and methyl hydrazinocarboxylate (0.90 g, 10 mmol) was refluxed in ethanol (30 ml) and monitored by thin-layer chromatography. After the reaction was complete, the resulting solid was filtered off and washed with a little cool methanol. 50 mg of (I) was dissolved in 20 ml e thanol and the solution was kept at room temperature for 10 d; natural evaporation gave colourless prisms of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis.

Refinement top

The N-bound H atoms were located in a difference map and their positions and Uiso values were freely refined.

The C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93–0.96Å and refined in a riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Special details top

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.
