Abstract top

In the title compound, C23H24N2, the dihedral angles between the phenyl ring at the 2-position and the other two other phenyl rings are 78.95 (10) and 71.76 (10)°. The imidazolidine ring adopts a slightly distorted envelope conformation. Molecules are linked into chains of rings and a three-dimensional network by C-H...[pi] hydrogen bonds

Comment top

As part of our investigation of the crystal structures of ethylenediamine derivatives, we report here the crystal structure of a new ethylenediamine derivative.

The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1. In the molecule, the dihedral angles between the phenyl ring (C4–C9) and the other two phenyl rings are 78.95 (10)° (C11–C16) and 71.76 (10)° (C18–C23). The imidazolidine ring adopts a slightly distorted envelope conformation, with C3 as the flap atom. Molecules are linked into chains of rings and a three dimensional network by C—H···π hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).

Experimental top

To a solution of benzaldehyde (20 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) ethylenediamine (10 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added. The mixed solution was stirred for 10 min and then acetic acid catalyst was added. The reaction mixture was stirred continuously for 10 h at 338 K and then filtered. The solution was allowed to stand, slowly producing crystals of the title compound.

Refinement top

All H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps. They were then treated as riding, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å (aryl), 0.97 Å (methylene) and 0.98 Å (methine); 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 > 2sigma(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.
