Structure and conformation of the 6-carboxylic acid and the 6-methylsulfonate of 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin

The 6-methylsulfonate (I) and the 6-carboxylic acid (II) of 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin both crystallize in the space groupP2₁/n withZ=4. Unit cell parameters of I are:a=13.398(7),b=14.553(2),c=8.945(2) Å, =99.16(2)°; those of II are:a=6.010(16),b=25.741(16),c=10.505(10) Å, =100.05(16)°. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares, from room-temperature data obtained with an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer, to conventionalR factors of 0.035 for I and 0.041 for II. The methylsulfonate group of I is disordered except for the sulfur atom and in II, which forms hydrogen-bonded dimers through the –COOH group, the hydrogen atom of the –COOH group is distributed equally between two positions.The conformation and molecular parameters of the 2,4-bis(trichioromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin fragment for both compounds is very similar to that in 6-nitro-2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin (Irving A., and Irving H. M. N. H. (1986)J. Cryst. Spectrosc. Res. 16, 703). The dioxin ring has an approximate envelope conformation with a pseudoequatorial –CCl₃ group in the 2-position and a pseudoaxial –CC1₃ group in the 4-position. C(ring)-C_eq(Cl₃) is 1.525(5) Å for I and 1.536(6) Å for II, whereas the C(ring)-C_ax(Cl₃) bond length is 1.547(5) Å for I and 1.550(4) Å for II. The chemical shifts of the two protons in the heterocyclic ring do not appear to be altered by these changes in the 6-substituent.

6-Nitro-trichloromethy1-4-dichloromethylene-1,3-benzdioxin is monoclinic,C2/c,a=12.906(2) Å,b=19.957(2) Å,c=19.992(2) Å,=99.05(1)°,Z=8. The structure was solved by direct methods, from data collected at room temperature on an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer, and refined by least squares to a finalR value of 0.032 using 1838 reflections.The compound exhibits a distorted envelope structure in the dioxin ring, and the trichloromethyl group is in the equatorial position. The angle between the planes each containing a group of three atoms from either end of the double bond of the:C(ring)=CCl₂ moiety is 3.8(2)°: a short discussion of deformations found in other compounds which contain:C(ring)=CC1₂ in light atom structures is given.

The structure was solved by direct methods from data collected at room temperature on an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer and refined by least squares to a finalR value of 0.035 using 2092 reflections.The molecule consists of a heterocycle in a distorted screw boat conformation fused to a significantly nonplanar aromatic ring. One-CCl₃ group is pseudoequatorial while the (Ar-C)CCl₃ group is pseudoaxial. The C_Ar-C-O-C side of the ring is much flatter than the C_Ar-C_Ar-O-C side, the distortion being caused by the necessity of the-C_axCl₃ group to bend away from the heterocycle. C-C_eq 1.532(4) Å; C-C_ax 1.550(4) Å; C-C(C_ax)-O 113.0(3)°; C(C_ax)-O-C(C_eq) 115.5(2)°.     

The N,N-diacetylaminobenzene group in the structure of 6-methyl-8-N,N-diacetylamino-2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin

The structure was solved by direct methods, from data collected at room temperature on an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 difFractometer, and refined by least squares to a finalR value of 0.039 using 3038 reflections. The heterocyclic ring has an envelope conformation. Of thecis-CCl₃ groups one CC1₃ group is pseudoequatorial while the –(C_Ar·C)CCl₃ group is pseudoaxial. (C_Ar)O-C 1.405(4); (C_Ar·O)C-O 1.387(4) Å; C_Ar-C(C_ax)-0 112.3(3); C(C_ax)-O-C(C_eq) 116.1(2)°; (C_Ar)O-C-O-C(C_Ar)58.2(3)°. The configuration of the diacetylamino group (DAA) issyn-anti. The -systems of the DAA and of the aromatic ring are approximately orthogonal, the deviations from orthogonality probably being caused by an intermolecular bifurcated hydrogen bond, each such interaction involving two molecules only, between thesyn O(=C) of the DAA and both hydrogen atoms bonded to the heterocyclic ring in a molecule of the enantiomer. The geometry of the DAA-benzene fragment is compared with those found in the other three published X-ray structures containing this group.     

Two acetylamino derivatives of 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin showing different types of hydrogen bonding: (a) (C13C)CH⋯O=C and (b) N-H⋯O=C

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.

The reaction of p-toluenethiol with 4,5-dichloro-4-cyclopenten-1,3-dione in 1,2-dichloroethane with added DBU affords good yields of the new bidentate sulfide ligand 4,5-bis(p-tolylthio)-4-cyclopenten-1,3-dione.
