Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Antidepressant Activity of 5-[4-(Benzyloxy)phenyl]-9-(n-propyl)-4,6-dioxa-1-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane Hydrochloride 0.5Hydrate

The title compound 2(C22H28N+O3)·H2O·2Cl-was synthesized by the reaction of 2-bromo-1-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-1-pentone with 2,2'-azanediyldiethanol. The crystal determined by X-ray diffraction analysis belongs to the monoclinic system, space group Pc with a = 18.312(3), b = 14.838(3), c = 7.6227(14) , β = 97.981(4)°, Z = 2, Mr = 797.82, V = 2051.1(6) 3, Dc = 1.292 g/cm3, S = 0.956, μ = 0.21 mm-1, F(000) = 852, the final R = 0.0625 and wR = 0.1428 for 5683 observed reflections (Ⅰ > 2σ(Ⅰ)). Flack parameter is 0.10(9). The title compound is composed by four non-coplanar ring systems, two benzenes and two morpholines. One morpholine ring (C(3)–C(4)–N(1)–C(1)–C(2)–O(1)) forms a chair conformation, while the other (C(4)–C(3)–O(2)–C(6)–C(5)–N(1)) assumes a boat conformation. X-ray crystal structure displays extensive N–H…Cl and O–H…Cl intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The preliminary antidepressant activity test indicates that the inhibition ratio of SERT (5-HT Transporter) was 35.9% at the dosage of 10.0 mg/L.
