The title compound, C15H20O5S, is an intermediate in the synthesis of a new type of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer. The cyclohexane ring exhibits a chair conformation, with C-C bond lengths in the range 1.518 (3)-1.531 (3) Å and C-C-C angles in the range 110.45 (19)-112.09 (19)°; these agree well with the values in other cyclohexane derivatives described in the literature. In the crystal structure, adjacent molecules are linked by O-H
·O hydrogen bonds. The H atoms of the methyl group are disordered equally over two positions.
trans-4-(Methoxycarbonyl)cyclohexanemethanol (10 mmol), triethylamine (10 mmol) and a small amount of trimethylamine hydrochloride were suspended in dichloromethane (20 ml), and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (11 mmol) was added dropwise with vigorous stirring at room temperature; after 1 h the reaction was quenched by addition of water. The organic layer which separated was evaporated to give an oil and the oil was hydrolyzed in a methanol and aqueous NaOH (11 mmol) solution for 5 h at 323 K. The title compound was then obtained by acidification with hydrochloric acid and recrystallized from acetone. Colorless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a cyclohexane and acetone solution at room temperature.
The carboxyl H was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely to an O—H value of 0.89 (4) Å. The other H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined in the riding model approximation, with C—H = 0.93, 0.96, 0.97, or 0.98 Å for benzene, methyl, methylene or methine H atoms, respectively. For carbon-bound H atoms, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms of the methyl group are disordered equally over two positions.

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. |

PAMAM (poly(amidoamine)) dendrimers have attracted much interest for their symmetry, high degree of branching and high density of terminal functional groups, which can participate in different reactions. The modification of the periphery of PAMAM dendrimers, aimed to change their physical or chemical properties, have been reported recently (Grabchev et al.,2003; Ahmed et al.,2001; Wang et al.,2004). To improve the lipophilicity of PAMAM dendrimers and provide a new type of linker with special stereostructure, a series of cyclohexane derivatives were synthesized. In our synthetic work on PAMAM dendrimers, we obtained the title compound, and report here its crystal structure.
The crystal structure shows that molecules are linked by O—H···.O hydrogen bonds and the cyclohexane ring exists in the chair conformation. The mean C—C bond length of the cyclohexane ring is 1.524 (3) Å, which is close to the value in trans-1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid (1.523 (3) Å; Luger et al., 1972). The mean endocyclic angle is 111.3 (2)°, which is close to the value for an ideal cyclohexane ring, (C—C—C 111.1°; Bucourt & Hainaut, 1965) and the mean value in trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (111.4 (4)°; Dunitz & Strickler, 1966; Luger et al., 1972).
