(Z)-Methyl 4-({3-[(2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene)methyl]-1H-indol-1-yl}methyl)benzoate
A mixture of methyl 4-((3-formyl-1H-indol-1-yl)methyl)benzoate (0.5 g,
1.70 mmol), imidazolidine-2,4-dione (0.18 g, 1.80 mmol) and ammonium acetate
(0.132 g, 1.71 mmol) was stirred in acetic acid (5 ml) at 391 K for 8 hrs. The
reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the yellow solid that
separated was collected by filtration, washed with cold water and dried to
afford the crude product. Crystallization from methanol and ethyl acetate
(1:1) afforded a yellow crystalline product of (Z)Methyl-4-((3-((2,5-
dioxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene)methyl)-1H-indol-1-yl)methyl)benzoate that
was suitable for X-ray analysis. 1H NMR (DMSO d6): δ 3.81 (s, 3H),

H atoms were found in difference Fourier maps and subsequently placed in
idealized positions with constrained distances of 0.98 Å (RCH3), 0.99 Å
(R2CH2), 0.95 Å (CArH), 0.88 Å (N—H), and with
Uiso(H) values set to either 1.2Ueq or 1.5Ueq
(RCH3) of the attached atom.

Special details top
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 >
2σ(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. |

In continuation of our work on the radiosensitization activity of (Z)-2-(N-benzylindol-3-ylmethylene)quinuclidin-3-one and (Z)-(±)-2-(N-benzylindol-3-ylmethylene) quinuclidin-3-ol derivatives (Sekhar et al., 2003; Sonar et al., 2007), we have undertaken the design, synthesis and structural analysis of a series of (N-benzylindol-3-ylmethylene)imidazolidine-2,4-dione analogs with different substituents on both indole moiety and on the benzene ring of the N-benzyl group. The primary goal for X-ray analysis of the title compound is to confirm the double-bond geometry and to obtain detailed information on the structural conformation of the molecule. This information will be useful in structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis. The title compound was prepared by the reaction of methyl 4-((3-formyl-1H-indol-1-yl)methyl)benzoate with imidazolidine-2,4-dione in the presence of ammonium acetate in acetic acid at 391 K. The compound was crystallized from a mixture of methanol and ethylacetate. The molecular structure and the atom-numbering scheme are shown in Fig.1. The indole ring is planar with bond distances and angles comparable with those previously reported for other indole derivatives (Mason et al., 2003; Zarza, et al., 1988). The X-ray studies revealed that the title compound is the Z isomer. The C8—C9 bond is in a transoid geometry with respect to the C10—C14 bond. The olefinic bond (C9=C10) has a planar atomic arrangement, since the r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane passing through atoms C1, C8, C9, N11 is 0.0349 (6) Å. Deviations from ideal geometry are observed in the bond angles around atoms C9, C10 and N11 (130.48 (12)°) due to repulsion between the indole ring C1 hydrogen and imidazolidine ring N11 hydrogen. The imidazolidine ring, which makes a dihedral angle of 10.03 (7)° with the adjacent aromatic ring, presents very small distortions around atoms N11, C12, N13 and C14.
Significant intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are found between N(11)—H(11)···O(12) and N(13)—H(13)···O(22), and molecules are linked into chains by N—H···O hydrogen bonding.
