The title compound is monoclinic,P2₁/n,Z=4,a=9.934(1),b=18.399(2),c=11.098(2)Å, =111.08(1)°. The molecule can conveniently be visualized as a benzophenone molecule with one of the aromatic rings fused to a 1,3-dioxin ring which adopts a distorted envelope conformation withcis-trichloromethyl groups substituted at positions 2 and 4. An interaction, observed for the first time, involves a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom from opposite sides of the same aromatic ring to give C-H-(Ar)Cl-C. The parameters are Hring-centroid 2.63 A, Clring centroid 3.41 Å, Hring-centroidCl 167°, C-Hring centroid 159°, C-Clring centroid 150.2°. The (Ar) system is that of the unfused aromatic ring. A second (Ar) Cl-C interaction occurs but this time with the (Ar) system of the fused aromatic ring. The ClCl and ClO(=C) interactions form the familiar zig-zag pattern which has been noted for many chloroaromatic compounds.

“Trimethyl lock” facilitated spirocyclizations: A structural analysis

A trimethyl lock was shown earlier to significantly facilitate certain cyclization reactions. Our renewed interests in such facile cyclization systems stemmed from their potential applications in the preparation of redox-, esterase-, and phosphatase-sensitive prodrugs. Furthermore, such systems have also been used for the development of redox-sensitive protecting groups for amines and alcohols. However, there is an undesirable spirocyclization reaction associated with certain trimethyl lock facilitated cyclization systems. In an effort to probe factors important for the controlling of the undesirable spirocyclization reaction, we undertook the X-ray crystallographic studies of the such trimethyl lock facilitated spirocyclization systems. The spirocyclization product was crystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane mixture (space group: P2₁/c,a=13.467(1),b=13.297(2),c=13.626(8) Å, =92.120(6)°. It was found that spirocyclization results in release of steric congestion caused by the trimethyl lock to a larger degree than the desired lactonization. However, this release of steric congestion itself is not enough to bring about the cyclization. A kinetically reactive nucleophile is also essential for the initiation of the spirocyclization reaction. This is consistent with the fact that such spirocyclization reactions require specific base catalysis.

In compound (I) the imino hydrogen atom is locked in an intramolecular hydrogen bond to the proximate oxygen atom of the heterocyclic ring and is not available for intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Instead the weakly acidic hydrogen atom [Cl₃C-C(2)]H takes part in a hydrogen bond to the carbonyl oxygen atom in another molecule. In compound (II) a normal intermolecular hydrogen bond of the type N-HO=C occurs. The 6-acetylam-ino group is twisted about the (C_Ar-N) bond such that the angles NHO=C, C_ArH_ArO=C, NHOH_ArC_Ar, at the carbonyl oxygen group total 360° (where NH is in the related molecule). The packing in both compounds takes the form of infinite chains and in compound (II) partial overlap of the aromatic ring and the acetylamino group, with very little offset, also occurs.
