The title compound [systematic name: 12-amino-42-(1-naphthyl)-1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane], C26H23N, was synthesized from 4-amino-13-bromo-[2,2]paracyclophane and 1-naphthaleneboronic acid in the presence of 1,4-dioxane. It is a new cyclophane-derived compound which can be regarded as a prospective ligand for asymmetric synthesis and catalysis. The benzene rings of the paracyclophane units are very slightly deformed from planarity as shallow boats.
A solution of 4-amino-13-bromo [2,2]paracyclophane (501.3 mg, 1.66 mmol), 1-naphthaleneboronic acid (428.3 mg, 2.49 mmol), KF (289.7 mg, 4.98 mmol), Pd-DPPF (13.6 mg, 0.0166 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (5 ml) was stirred at 353–363k for 24 h under a slight overpressure of nitrogen. After this, reagents were added to the mixture at 24 h intervals. 1-naphthaleneboronic acid (0.55 mmol), KF (72.4 mg, 1.245 mmol), Pd-DPPF (13.6 mg, 0.0166 mmol) were added to the flask in the first two times, in the last two times, 1-naphthaleneboronic acid (0.55 mmol), KF (72.4 mg, 1.245 mmol), Pd-DPPF (6.78 mg, 0.0083 mmol) were added. The flask was kept at 353–363 K and stirred the whole time. After completion of the reaction, as indicated by TLC, water (5 ml) was added and the solution was filtered. The solution was extracted by dichloromethane (30 ml) and the solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator. The solid was subjected to chromatography on silica gel (eluent: petroleum ether / ethyl acetate =20:1). Pure product was isolated (yield 84.6%). Analysis, calculated for C26H23N: C, 89.36; H, 6.63; N, 4.01. Found: C, 89.03; H, 6.62; N, 3.93. The elemental analyses were performed with a Perkin Elmer PE2400II.
All the H atoms could be found in the difference Fourier maps. Nevertheless, they were placed into the idealized positions and refined in a riding atom approximation with following constraints: C—H = 0.93, 0.97 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C-aromatic and methylene and N-amido) in all the cases. In the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects, 1406 Friedel pairs were merged. The absolute configuration was determined by synthesis.

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 chemistry of [2.2]paracyclophanes has attracted the interest of researchers since the middle of the last century. After a standstill period, investigations in this area have received a new impulse (Cipiciani et al., 1997) and recently there has been notable progress especially regarding the synthesis of new derivatives. [2.2]paracyclophane is unique as the strain in the molecule has become so large that the benzene rings have been substantially bent from planarity. The configurationally rigid [2. 2]paracyclophanyl unit makes the design of chiral ligands of different types possible. The [2.2]paracyclophane ligand has previously been included in diphosphanes, (Pye et al., 1997) oxazoline-phosphanes,(Wu et al., 2003) oxazoline-imidazolium,(Bolm et al., 2003) oxazoline-selenides, (Hou et al., 2000) oxazoline-alcohols,(Wu et al., 2001) and Schiff base phenols.
The benzene rings in the [2,2] paracyclophane are not planar. Their conformation can be described as an asymmetric boat conformation. The benzene C atoms which are directly bonded to the ethylene links of the paracyclophane deviate significantly from the least-squares planes running through the other four benzene C atoms. The largest deviations are found for the atoms C3 [0.117 (5) Å] and C12 [0.146 (4) Å], which are the atoms closest to the amino and naphtyl substituents of the benzene rings. The angle between the planes through the benzene rings is 6.0 (2) °. The N1—C1 bond length lies between the expected values for a C—N and a C=N bond, which is probably caused by p–π conjugation.
