In the crystal structure of the title compound, C14H17NO4, obtained by the reaction of N-benzoxycarbonyl-L-valine, paraformaldehyde and 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid, molecules are linked by C-H
O hydrogen bonds, generating linear chains parallel to the a axis. C-H
interactions of stacked benzene rings also provide stability for the crystal structure.
The title compound was prepared by a method based on one described by Reddy et al. (2000). A mixture of N-benzoxycarbonyl-L-valine (7.53 g, 3 mmol), paraformaldehyde (1.8 g, 6 mmol) and 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (PTSA, 0.31 g, 1.8 mmol) in benzene (25 ml) was refluxed, using a Dean–Stark apparatus, for about 1 h. After cooling, the resulting mixture was washed with 0.3 M aqueous K2CO3 solution (30 ml) followed by saturated aqueous NaCl solution (30 ml). The organic layer was separated and dried with Mg2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product as a white solid (5.12 g, 65%). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained from an ethanol solution.
The hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93, 0.98, 0.97 or 0.96 Å for phenyl, tertiary, methylene or methyl H atoms respectively) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation. The displacement parameters of methyl H atoms were set to 1.5Ueq(C), while those of other H atoms were set to 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

The title compound (I) belongs to a class of 5-oxazolidinone and has been used to synthesize dipeptides and a series of biologically active molecules (Dorow & Gingrich, 1999).
In the compound, the oxazolidine ring is formed by the reaction of N-benzoxycarbonyl-L-valine, paraformaldehyde, and 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid. The phenyl and the oxazolidine rings make a dihedral angle of 49.7 (1) (Fig. 1). The absolute configuration (S) of the stereocentre C4 remains unchanged during the synthetic procedure. An X-ray crystal structure determination of the molecular structure of compound (I) was carried out to determine its conformation. The bond lengths are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987).
The packing is shown in Fig. 2. The occurrence of C—H···O hydrogen bond interactions lead to the formation of linear chains parallel to the a axis. The packing is further stabilized by C—H···π interactions of stacked benzene rings in the chains (Fig. 3), with typical geometry (Pavel et al., 1993).
