Abstract top

In the title compound, C17H13Cl4NO3, the isoindole unit is essentially planar. The seven-membered ring adopts a boat conformation. The O atom of the hydroxyethyl group is disordered over two positions with essentially equal occupancies. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by O-H...O and O-H...Cl hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional network parallel to the (010) plane.

Comment top

The construction of medium and large heterocyclic ring systems has constantly been an important task in organic synthesis (Evans & Holmes, 1991; Griesbeck et al., 1996; Illuminati & Mandolini, 1981). In continuation of our recent work on a new strategy for the synthesis of medium to large ring compounds based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) reactions of N-(ω-hydroxyalkyl)-4,5,6,7- tetrachlorophthalimide (TCP) with electron rich alkenes, we studied the photoinduced reaction of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4,5,6,7- tetrachlorophthalimide (TCP) with cycloheptatriene and obtained the title compound. We report here the crystal structure of the title compound which is determined to show its steric structure (Xue et al., 2000).

Bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable to those in a related structure (Fun et al., 2007). The isoindole unit (C1—C8/N1) is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.066 (2) Å for atom C1. The seven-membered ring adopts a boat conformation.

Intramolecular C15—H15A···O2 interaction generates an S(5) ring motif (Fig. 1) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H···O and O—H···Cl (Fig. 2 and Table 1) interactions. These interactions link the molecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to the (0 1 0) plane. The relatively short distance [2.980 (2) Å] between atoms Cl1 and O1(−1 − x, −y, 2 − z) indicates the presence of intermolecular Cl···O interactions, which contribute to further stabilization of the crystal structure.

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by a photo-induced reaction between N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrachlorophthalimide (0.025 M) and excess cycloheptariene in benzene (120 ml). The title compound was isolated using silica gel column chromatography with petroleum ether-ethyl acetate as eluent. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.

Refinement top

The ratio of the refined occupancies for the major and minor components of the disordered hydroxyl O atoms, O3A and O3B, are 0.509 (5):0.491 (5). H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with O—H = 0.82 Å and C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top

Experimental. The data was collected with the Oxford Cyrosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment.

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.
