atom was found in a difference electron-density map at the
end of the refinement process as a small positive electron
density. The H atom displacement parameters were
restricted to be 1.2Ueq of the parent atom. All atoms
(except hydrogen) were located from a difference Fourier
map and refined anisotropically. The details of the X-ray
data collection, structure solution and structure refinements
are given in Table 1. Selected bond distances and angles
are listed in Table 2. The molecular structure with the
atom-numbering scheme is shown in Fig. 1 [21] and the
crystal packing of the compound is depicted in Fig. 2.

Scheme 1 Tautomerism of the title compound
were reported in cm-1 units. The UV–Visible spectra were
measured using a SHIMADZU 1208 series spectrometer.
Carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen analyses were performed
on a LECO CHNS-932 analyzer. Melting points were
measured on an Electro Thermal IA 9100 apparatus using
a capillary tube. LC mass spectra were obtained on an
AGILENT 1100 MSD spectrometer with an ion source
temperature of 240 ꢁC. Sulfamethoxazole(Roche) and
2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, THF, CHCl3, EtOH,
benzene, DMSO were purchased from Merck (Germany).

FT-IR, H-NMR, 13C-NMR and UV–Visible
Spectroscopic Studies
The IR spectra of the compounds are given in synthetic
procedures. Vibration bands with the wave numbers of
3431 (mO–H), 3025 cm-1 (mC–H, Ar–H), 2923 (mC–H, OCH3),
1622 cm-1 (mC=N), 1508 cm-1 (mC=C), 1330 cm-1 (mC–O
,
Ar–O) and 1177 cm-1 (mC–O–Ar, Csp3–O–Csp3) were
observed for compound, respectively. The stretching fre-
quency observed at 2634 cm-1 in compound shows the
presence of O–HꢀꢀꢀN intramolecular hydrogen bond [11].
The C=N bond which is accountable partially for the
existence enol-imine form can also be inferred from the IR
spectra of compound. The compound with strong band at
1251 cm-1 possesses highest percentage of enol-imino
tautomer due to the stabilization of phenolic C–O bond
[23].

Sulfamethoxazole (2.53 g; 1 9 10-2 mol) was added to a
dry THF (200 mL) solution of 2-hydroxy-3-methox-
ybenzaldehyde (1.52 g; 1 9 10-2 mol). The mixture was
stirred and heated for 2 h. Compound was obtained from
the evaporation of THF. It was crystallized from chloro-
form/n-heptane as a red crystal, m.p. 218–220 ꢁC, 3.49 g

The H NMR data for compound show that the tauto-
meric equilibrium favours the enol-imine in DMSO. The
OH, N–H and azomethine protons are observed as singlet
d = 12.52, d = 11.50 and d = 8.96 ppm, respectively for
compound. The phenyl protons resonate at d = 6.91–
