Preparation of 2-allyloxy-5-chlorobenzoic Acid followed closely the procedure of White et al. (1958). A mixture of 8.63 g (50 mmol) of 5-chlorosalycilic acid, 6.05 g (0.05 mole) of allyl bromide, 8.29 g (60 mmol) of dry, powdered potassium carbonate, and sufficient dry acetone (about 30 ml) to give an easily stirred mass was stirred and refluxed for eight hours. Then the mixture was filtered, acidified with diluted acetic acid and the acetone removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue was initially purified by crystallization from acetone water (m.p. 75–76°C). Colorless crystals of (I) were grown from aqueous solution by slow evaporation at room temperature.
All non-H atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. H atom of the carboxylic moiety was found from Fourier map. This H atom was treated with riding model and they Ueq fixed at 1.2 times of the parent atom. H atoms bonded to C atoms were added at their calculated positions and included in the structure factor caculations, with C—H distances and Ueq taken from default of the refinement program.
The intramolecular Claisen rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate, catalyzed by chorismate mutase, represents a rare case of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift reaction in live organisms and corresponds to a key step in the pathway to form aromatic amino acids in plants, bacteria and fungi (Ziegler, 1977; Castro, 2004; Zhang et al., 2005). This unimolecular reaction occurs at the active site of the enzyme without formation of an enzyme-substrate covalent intermediate and it has been proposed that the transition state structures in the gas phase, water and enzyme are characteristic of a concerted pericyclic rearrangement. Since we are interested in the systematic analysis of the influence of electrostatic stabilization and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in [3,3] sigmatropic Claisen rearrangements, a series of ethers derived from salicylic acid has been synthesized. The 2-allyloxy-5-chlorobenzoic acid (I) is a new synthesized compound and here we report its X-ray crystal structure.
A projection of the crystal structure and the numbering of the non-hydrogen atoms are shown in Fig. 1 and the selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1. The data in Table 1 show that in the aromatic ring the C3—C4, C4—C5 and C5—C6 bonds are the strongest (shortest) C≐C ring bonds, probably as a consequence of electronic effects and the strain induced by ortho-substitution at C1 and C2. The carboxyl and ether groups are planar, but they are not perfectly coplanar with the aromatic ring plane and deviate by 8.1 (3)° for carboxyl and by 15.0 (2)° for ether. The electron withdrawing influence of the carboxyl group weakens the C1—C2 and C2—C3 bonds which made them longer than the other ring bonds. These effects are similar to those found in p-chlorobenzoic acid (II) (Colapietro & Domenicano, 1982). The Cl atom in (I) has a small effect on the C3—C4—C5 angle [120.4 (2)°], but the COOH group reduces the C1—C2—C3 angle from 120° (normal benzene ring) to 119.37 (19)°. The effect is opposite to that found in compound (II), where the C3—C4—C5 angle is 122.0° and C1—C2—C3 angle is 120.1°. This evidently results from the presence of the allyloxy group in (I), lengthening both C1—C2 and C1—C6 bonds, and reducing the C2—C1—C6 angle to 118.9 (2)°. Closely similar effects are observed for 2-methoxymethoxybenzoic acid, where the ortho-substituent is electronically and sterically similar (Jones et al., 1984).
A pair of molecules of (I) is connected through the carboxyl groups by centrosymmetric hydrogen bonds (O1—H1···O2i, O1···O2i 2.636 (2) Å, < (O1—H1···O2i) 167.2°, symmetry code is: -x, -y, -z), which are stacked into sheets along a axis (Fig. 2). There is some interaction between O2 and O3 atoms with 2.622 (2) Å distance, a distance which - though short - is fairly normal for systems like this with the plane of the COOH group close to coplanar with the ring and is probably a consequence of the crystal-packing forces.
