Abstract top

In the title compound, C19H16NO6P, the dihedral angles between the nitrobenzyl ring and the phenyl rings are 53.74 (3) and 63.30 (2)°, and that between the two phenyl rings is 88.86 (3)°. Intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds result in the stabilization of the crystal structure.

Comment top

Phosphates are extremely useful compounds which have received much attention as genetic materials, co-enzymes and in biochemistry in general. Phosphates have well known roles as intermediates in biochemical transformations (Schick et al., 1995). The title compound (I) is formed by the reaction of diphenylphosphite with an aromatic aldehyde in presence of triethylamine. We also find that the title compound may be obtained from a hydroxyphosphonate rearrangement. In this paper, we present an X-ray crystallographic analysis of (I), shown in Fig. 1. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings A (C1—C6), B (C8—C13) and C (C14—C19) are A/B = 53.74 (3)°, A/C = 63.30 (2)° and B/C = 88.86 (3)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds are effective in stabilizing the structure (Fig. 2, Table 2).

Experimental top

To a solution of 2-nitrobenzylaldehyde (1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (0.60 ml) was added diphenyl phosphite (1 mmol) at ice-bath temperature. After 15 minutes, triethylamine (0.14 ml) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred for a further 2 h at ice-bath temperature. The resulting solution was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution, extracted with dichloromethane and dried over MgSO4. The solution was then filtered and purified by column chromatography on silica gel, using ethyl acetate and petroleum as eluant, to afford compound (I).

1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): 8.17 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.73 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.65 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.35 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 4H), 7.19–7.26 (m, 6H), 5.74 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 2H). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from a dichloromethane-ether solution at 298 K.

Refinement top

All H atoms were initially located in a difference Fourier map. The phenyl H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C—H distances of 0.93 Å. Methylene groups were treated similarly, with C—H distances of 0.97 Å.

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.
