The title racemate, C11H14O3, aggregates in the crystal structure as acid-to-ketone O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding catemers whose components are glide-related. The relative stereochemistry at the carboxyl group arises spontaneously during the synthesis. Two inter­molecular C—H⋯O=C close contacts were found, both involving the acid group.

Comment top

Among ketocarboxylic acids, we have shown that the usually dominant dimerization can be disfavored by lowering molecular flexibility, as measured by the number of fully rotatable bonds present. Typically this results in increased occurrence of acid-to-ketone catemers, whose occurrence is also favored by fixed "anti-like" arrangements, in which carboxyl and ketone are aimed in opposite directions. In this context, we report here the title compound, (I), whose structure conforms to both of the above criteria.

Fig. 1 shows the asymmetric unit, whose only conformational options lie in the carboxyl side-chain, which is oriented [C1—C2—C9—O2 torsion angle = -37.96 (15)°] so as to minimize steric interactions with H atoms at C1 and C3.

The disordering of C—O bond lengths and C—C—O angles often seen in carboxyl dimers becomes impossible when the H-bonding mode precludes the required averaging mechanisms. Because (I) is not dimeric the distances and angles here are fully ordered and thus typical of those in highly ordered dimeric carboxyls (Borthwick, 1980).

Fig. 2 shows the packing of the cell, with extra molecules included to illustrate the acid-to-ketone H-bonding scheme. Each carboxylic acid is linked to the ketone in a molecule glide related in the c direction. Glide relationships for intra-chain units in catemers is far less common than screw-related schemes. Each of the four molecules in the chosen cell participates in a separate H-bonding chain and these pass through the cell in counterdirectional pairs related by centrosymmetry, with the chains advancing by one cell in a and one-half cell in c for each H bond.

We characterize the geometry of H bonding to carbonyls using a combination of the H···O=C angle and the H···O=C—C torsion angle. These describe the approach of the H atom to the receptor O in terms of its deviation from, respectively, C=O axiality (ideal = 120°) and planarity with the carbonyl (ideal = 0°). In (I), these angles are 131.0 (6) & 0.6 (8)°.

Within the 2.6 Å range we standardly survey for C—H···O packing interactions (Steiner, 1997), two intermolecular close contacts were found, both involving O2, the carboxyl carbonyl (see table).

Experimental top

Compound (I) was synthesized by the method of Finnegan & Bachman (1965); crystallization from ethyl acetate yielded material suitable for X-ray, mp 418 K. The C2/C8a stereochemistry clearly represents the stabler of the two epimers possible and probably arises as the result of equilibrations during the synthesis (House et al., 1965).

The solid-state (KBr) infrared spectrum of (I) has C=O absorptions at 1721 & 1640 cm-1, with a peak separation typical of the shifts seen in catemers, due, respectively, to removal of H bonding from the acid C=O and addition of H bonding to the ketone; an alkene peak appears at 1616 cm-1. In CHCl3 solution, where dimers predominate, these bands appear, respectively, at 1708, 1666 and 1622 cm-1.

Refinement top

All H atoms for (I) were found in electron-density difference maps. The positional parameters for the carboxyl H were allowed to refine but the Uiso(H) was held at 1.5Ueq(O). The methylene, methine and vinyl Hs were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent C atoms with C–H distances of 0.99, 1.00 & 0.95 Å, respectively, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except for 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 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.
