3-(2,6-Dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2,4-dione
The title compound was synthesized as follows: cis-1,2-cyclobutane
dicarboxylic acid anhydride (0.1 g, 0.79 mmol), glutamic acid (0.12 g, 0.79 mmol), DMAP (0.02 g, 0.16 mmol), and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) (0.04 g, 0.916 mmol) were mixed thoroughly in a CEM-sealed vial with a magnetic stirrer. The
mixture was heated for 10 min at 423 K in a CEM Discover microwave powered at
150 W. It was then cooled rapidly to 313 K and dissolved in 15 ml of (1:1)
ethyl acetate: acetone. The organic layer was washed with 2x (10 ml) distilled
water and dried over sodium sulfate (anhydrous). The organic layer was
concentrated under vacuum and precipitated with hexanes (30 ml) affording a
white solid, recrystallized from methanol, (0.10 g, 54%). mp 476–478 K; 1H
NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6), δ (p.p.m.): 11.06 (s, 1 H, NH), 4.95 (dd, 1 H,
12.5, 5.5 Hz), 2.84 (m, 2 H), 2.52 (m, 4 H,), 2.02 (m, 2 H), 1.92 (m, 2 H);

IR (nujol) (νmax, cm-1): 3207.48, 1702.55, 1729.09, 1771.79 (C=O).
The H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the
riding model with C(N)—H = 0.88 to 1.00 Å, and with Uiso(H) =
1.18–1.21Ueq(C,N).

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.

The synthesis and biological evaluation of the title compound, 3-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2,4-dione and its analogues is of interest to synthetic medicinal chemists. Specifically, piperidine 2,6-dione derivatives, including those of phthalimide, are important anti-angiogenic and immunomodulative agents used for the treatment of many diseases including multiple myeloma, (Muller & Man, 2008; Yamamoto et al., 2008; Zeldis, 2008), Chron's disease (Carson et al., 2004), and leprosy (Werbel et al., 1968). The title molecule, C11H12N2O4, a piperidine 2,6-dione derivative, consists of an azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane group containing a nearly planar cyclobutane ring, fused to a pyrrolidine ring, bonded to a 2,6-dioxopiperidine ring at the 3 position. The six-membered dioxopiperidine ring (N2–C8–C7–C11–C10–C9) is a slightly distorted envelope, with Cremer & Pople (1975) puckering parameters Q, θ and φ of 0.5187 (12) Å, 56.12 (13)° and 176.55 (16)°, respectively. The 5-membered pyrrolidine group (N1/C2–C6) has also a slightly distorted envelope conformation with puckering parameters Q(2)and φ(2) of 0.0940 (13) Å, 82.9 (7)° respectively. For an ideal envelope θ has a value of 0 or 180° and θ(2) has a value of 72. The angle between the mean planes of the cyclobutane and fused pyrrolidine ring is 67.6 (6)° (Fig. 1). The mean planes of the pyrrolidine and cyclobutane rings make an angle of 73.9 (2)° and 62.4 (4)° with the dihedral angle of the dioxopiperidine ring, respectively. The pyrrolidine and dioxopiperidine rings are twisted about the 3-yl group [torsion angles = -55.0 (1)° (C1—N1—C7—C8) and 115.0 (1)° (C6—N1—C7—C8)] in a nearly perpendicular manner.
Crystal packing is influenced by extensive intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bonding between all four carbonyl oxygen atoms [O1, O2, O3, O4] and hydrogen atoms from the cyclobutane (H3A & H5A) and dioxopiperidine rings (H10B & H11B) as well as by N–H···O intermolecular interactions. As a result the molecules are linked into infinite chains diagonally along the [101] plane of the unit cell in an alternate inverted pattern (Fig. 2). In addition, weak C-H··· π-ring interactions also occur between hydrogen atoms from the cyclobutane ring [H3B] and the 5-membered pyrrolidine ring [C3–H3B···Cg2; H3B···Cg2 = 2.50 Å, C3–H3B···Cg2 = 64°, C3···Cg2–H3B = 2.2475 (13) Å, x,y,z, where Cg2 = center of gravity of the N1/C1/C2/C5/C6 ring].
After a MOPAC AMI calculation [Austin Model 1 approximation together with the Hartree-Fock closed-shell (restricted) wavefunction was used and minimizations were terminnated at an r.m.s. gradient of less than 0.01 kJ mol-1 Å-1] with WebMO Pro (Schmidt & Polik, 2007), the mean planes of the cyclopropane and pyrrolidine rings became completely planar in the local minimized structure and the dihedral angle between these rings became 64.3 (8)°. The angle between the mean planes of the pyrrolidine and cyclobutane rings and the dihedral angle of the dioxopiperidine ring became 73.9 (2)° and 62.4 (4)°, respectively. The twist of the pyrrolidine and dioxopiperidine rings about the 3-yl group became more perpendicuar to each other after this geometry minimization [torsion angles = -68.6 (6)° (C1—N1—C7—C8) and 100.4 (1)° (C6—N1—C7—C8)]. Thus it is apparent that the extensive hydrogen bonding and π-ring intermolecular interactions significantly influence crystal packing for this molecule.
