The title compound, C21H28N2O5, has two intramolecular N-H
O hydrogen bonds. Intermolecular N-H
O hydrogen bonds [graph-set motif R22(8)] give rise to a dimer. Weak N-H
N hydrogen bonds between neighboring dimers further extend the crystal structure, which exhibits an infinite chain motif.
A mixture of 2-methoxy-4-(2-oxopropoxy)benzamide (0.4 g), 2-(3,4-dimethoxy- phenyl)ethanamine (0.4 ml), TsOH (3 drops), and methanol (20 ml) were heated to reflux of the solvent for 3 h. After cooling KBH4 (0.2 g) was added to the mixture portion wise over a period of 1 h and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for another 2 h. The methanol was evaporated, and water (15 ml) was added to the residue. The aqueous solution was extracted with ethyl acetate and the extract was dried over MgSO4, and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (1:2 with triethylamine) as the eluent to obtain the colorless block crystals (0.3 g, 69.6%).
H atoms on carbon atoms and N2 were placed in calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C or N atoms with C—H = 0.92–0.97 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å. The H atom on N1 atom was tentatively located in a difference electron density Fourier map and was refined with distance restraint of N–H = 0.90 (2) Å. Uiso(H) were set to 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C) and 1.2 Ueq(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. |

α1-Adrenoreceptors (α1-AR) are members of the super family of seven transmembrane G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) (Gunderman et al., 1995) and regulate several important physiological processes (Hieble et al., 1995). In recent years, the search for new α1-adrenoreceptor antagonists has increased in parallel with the development of postsynaptically selective α-adrenoreceptor antagonists due to their importance in the treatment of hypertension (Kasztreiner et al., 1989) and for prostatic hypertrophy (Beduschi & Beduachi, 1998). In the course of our studies on phenoxylalkylamine-phenylethanamine derivatives as potential antagonists of α1-adrenoreceptors, we have synthesized a library of compounds (Xi et al. , 2005) that show good activity. The title compound is one such phenoxylalkylamine-phenylethanamine derivative with α1-adrenoreceptor antagonist properties.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the C—C bond lengths show normal values (Allen et al., 1987), and the C—O and C=O bond lengths are comparable to those observed in simliar structures (Ng et al., 2005; Boonnak et al., 2005), while the C—N distances in the structure fall in the range of 1.308 (3)–1.469 (4) Å. The title molecular structure acts as hydrogen bonding donor and acceptor with two intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds. The compound forms dimers with neighboring molecules through N—H···O hydrogen bonding with a R22(8) graph set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995), which are further self-assembled by N—H···N hydrogen bonds (table 1) to form an infinite chain (Fig. 2).
