The title racemate (C11H14O3) aggregates in the solid as acid-to-ketone hydrogen-bonding catemers [O...O = 2.6557 (13) Å and O—H...O = 170°], whose components are glide-related. The stereochemistry of the carboxyl group arises spontaneously during the synthesis. One inter­molecular C—H...O=C close contact was found.

Author Response: Even though we collected data out to 0.84 \%A resolution, the crystal diffracted poorly beyond 0.88\%A resolution, where more than 50% of the missing data lie. Larger crystals were not obtainable, and since the crystals of this compound are no longer available, we can only rely on the current data set.

Comment top

Among ketocarboxylic acids, we have shown that the normally dominant dimerization is disfavored by lowering molecular flexibility, as measured by the number of fully rotatable bonds present. Typically this results in an increased frequency of acid-to-ketone catemers, as in the title compound, (I), whose structure and H-bonding pattern we report here.

Fig. 1 shows the asymmetric unit, whose only conformational options lie in the carboxyl side-chain, which is turned [8a-C1—C9—O2 torsion angle = 20.11 (18)°] so as to avoid interaction with the equatorial H at C8.

The disordering of C—O bond lengths and C—C—O angles often seen in carboxyl dimers is not possible in H-bonding modes that preclude the averaging mechanisms involved. Because (I) is not dimeric the distances and angles here (Table 1) are typical of those in highly ordered dimeric carboxyls (Borthwick, 1980).

Fig. 2 shows the the acid-to-ketone H-bonding scheme. Each carboxylic acid is linked to the ketone in a molecule glide related in the c direction, creating H-bonding chains that advance at an angle to the cell axes. In all, four separate parallel chains pass through the cell in counterdirectional pairs related centrosymmetrically about 1/2, 1/2, 1/2. The intra-chain glide relationship found is considerably rarer than either screw or translational schemes generally, and is shared with three other γ-keto acids of our experience (Barcon et al., 1998, 2002; Dufort et al., 2007).

We characterize the geometry of H bonding to carbonyls using a combination of the H···O=C angle and the H···O=C—C torsional angle. These describe the approach of the H atom to the receptor O in terms of its deviation from, respectively, C=O axiality (ideal = 120°) and planarity with the carbonyl (ideal = 0°). In (I) these angles are 122 & -7°. Within the 2.6 Å range we standardly survey for C—H···O packing interactions (Steiner, 1997), one intermolecular close contact was found, involving C1 & O2 (Table 2).

Experimental top

Compound (I) is previously unreported, although its ethyl ester has been described by Stork et al. (1963), whose procedure we used to prepare the analogous methyl ester, mp 330 K. Saponification, sublimation and crystallization from Et2O/hexane yielded crystals suitable for X-ray, mp 352 K. The C1/C8a stereochemistry clearly represents the stabler of the two epimers possible and probably arises from equilibrations during the alkylation or saponification steps (House et al., 1965).

The solid-state (KBr) infrared spectrum of (I) has C=O absorptions at 1723 & 1636 cm-1, with a peak separation typical of the shifts seen in catemers, due, respectively, to removal of H bonding from the acid C=O and addition of H bonding to the ketone; an alkene peak appears at 1616 cm-1. In CHCl3 solution, where dimers predominate, these bands appear, respectively, at 1713, 1667 and 1622 cm-1.

Refinement top

All H atoms for (I) were found in electron-density difference maps. The O—H was constrained to an idealized position with distance fixed at 0.84 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The methylene, methine, and vinyl Hs were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent C atoms with C—H distances of 0.99, 1.00, and 0.95 Å, respectively, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Experimental. 'crystal mounted on cryoloop using Paratone-N'

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.
