1,5-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpentane-1,5-dione

Abstract top

The title compound, C23H18Cl2O2, is the reaction product of a Michael addition. The two chlorophenyl rings are almost perpendicular to the phenyl ring.

Comment top

The Michael addition is one of the most important C—C bond forming reactions employed in organic synthesis (Qian & Widenhoefer, 2003). In recent years, the catalytic asymmetric Michael addition promoted by chiral metal complexes has been recognized as an efficient method for carbon-carbon bond formation (Emori et al., 1998). The asymmetric catalyzers of Michael reaction have metal catalyzers such as La3(O-tBu)9, Y3(O-tBu)8Cl, Y5(O-iPr)13O (Sasai et al., 1994), lithium diisopropylamide (Murai et al., 2000), and non-metal catalyzers that includes MacMillan's chiral imidazolidinone (Wang et al., 2005). We synthesized 1,5-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpentane-1,5-dione with tetrabutylammonium bromide. The two chlorophenyl rings are almost perpendicular to the central phenyl ring.

Experimental top

A mixture of 1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-phenyl-2-propylene-1-ketone (Wang & Shen, 1999) (1 mmol), 4-chloro-acetopnone (2 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium-bromide (0.1 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (5 mL). To this mixture was added 50% KOH (1 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with ether (3 times with 10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), concentrated to furnish the crude product, which was purified by flash chromatography (yield 54%). M.p. 463 k. Analysis, found (calculated for C23H18Cl2O2): C 69.53 (69.55%) H 4.57 (4.53%) O 8.05 (8.11%). Crystals were grown from a mixture of ethyl acetate and petroleum ether by slow evaporation.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H ranging from 0.95 - 1.00Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(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.
