Abstract top

The title compound, C20H20N2O3, is a head-to-tail oxetane, one of the regioisomers obtained by the the Paternó-Büchi reaction of 1,3-dimethylthymine with benzophenone. The oxetane ring is folded, the dihedral angle between the C-O-C and C-C-C planes being 14.4 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 64.3 (2)°. The pyrimidine ring adopts a boat conformation. The crystal structure involves weak C-H...O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

A [2 + 2] photocycloaddition (Paternò-Büchi reaction) of the 5–6 double bond of 1,3-dimethylthymine (DMT) with the carbonyl of benzophenone generates two regioisomers, head-to-head and head-to-tail oxetanes (Fig. 1). We have observed the temperature dependence of the regioselectivity (Hei et al., 2005). The crystal structure of the head-to-head oxetane has already been published (Prakash et al., 1997). In the present study, an X-ray crystallographic analysis of the head-to-tail oxetane has been undertaken to establish its structure and configuration.

The structure is similar to that observed in the head-to-head oxetane (Prakash et al., 1997). The bond lengths and angles in the title compound are in good agreement with expected values. The oxetane ring is folded and the dihedral angle between the C1—O1—C3 and C1—C2—C3 planes is 14.4 (2)° (Fig. 2). The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 64.3 (2)° and the pyrimidine ring adopts a boat conformation. The crystal structure involves weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by first dissolving DMT (0.77 g, 5.0 mmol) and benzophenone (1.82 g, 10.0 mmol) in CH3CN (100 ml). The resulting solution was placed in a photochemical apparatus (Pyrex), purged with nitrogen, degassed for 30 min, and irradiated with a 300 W mercury high-pressure lamp for 10 h. The solvent was then rotary evaporated and the oxetane was purified by silica gel chromatography using a 4:1 petroleum ether/ethyl acetate solvent mixture. The fractions containing the h-t oxetane were combined, and the solvent removed by rotary evaporation. The purified oxetane was subsequently crystallized by dissolving the residue in 10 ml of ethyl acetate and adding n-hexane to the solution until it turned cloudy. Upon standing at room temperature, a colorless block appeared and was separated from the solvent by decanting.

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.98 Å (methine), 0.96 Å (methyl) and 0.93 Å (aromatic); Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, O) or 1.5 Ueq(C) for the methyl group.
