In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C17H16Br2N2, the 4,10-bromo-2,8-dimethyl analogue of Tröger's base, the two aryl rings are offset with respect to one another by virtue of the diazo­cine bridge. There are two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in the unit cell and both of these have a dihedral angle of 95.4 (1)° between the two aryl rings.

Comment top

The halogen substituents on Tröger's base analogues have been successfully converted into a range of other functionalities via exchange reactions (Jensen & Wärnmark, 2001; Jensen, Strozyk & Wärnmark, 2002; Jensen et al., 2002; Kiehne & Lützen, 2004; Hof et al., 2005). An important feature of this family of molecules is the methano-strapped diazocine bridge that creates the cavity present in these compounds. The bridge also imparts a twist within the compounds such that the two aryl rings are offset with respect to one another. The dihedral angle between these rings has been measured across a range of compounds to lie between 82° (Solano et al., 2005) and 108° (Faroughi et al., 2006b) for simple dibenzo Tröger's base analogues, and is dependant upon the nature of the substituents on the aromatic rings. We were interested in preparing a range of dihalo Tröger's base analogues as precursors for supramolecular recognition elements. The synthesis of (I) in racemic form was achieved by reacting 2-bromo-4-methylaniline with paraformaldehyde in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as shown in Fig. 2. The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared on a 2 g scale according to the literature procedure (Hansson et al., 2003) in an almost quantitative yield. Single crystals of (I) were produced by slow evaporation of a dichloromethane solution.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.95, 0.99 and 0.98 Å for aromatic, methylene and methyl H atoms, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms. The methyl groups were free to rotate about their respective C—C bonds in the refinement.

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.
