tert-Butyl 3-carbamoyl-4-methoxyimino-3-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate
In the title compound, C13H23N3O4, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. An intramolecular N-H
O hydrogen bond is observed between the carbamoyl and carboxylate groups. In the crystal structure, molecules form inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H
O hydrogen bonds.
The title compound was prepared from methyl
N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-
methoxyimino-3-methylpiperidine-3-carboxylate. To a stirring solution of
methyl
N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-methoxyimino-3-methylpiperidine-3-carboxylate (17.00 g, 56.6 mmol) in methanol (100 ml) was added dropwise a
solution of sodium hydroxide (4.53 g, 113.2 mmol) dissolved in distilled water
(20 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was heated to 50 °C and
stirred for 2 h at the same temperature. After removal of the methanol under
reduced pressure, the reaction mixture was diluted with distilled water (30 ml), adjusted to pH 6.0–6.5 with acetic acid. The solid collected by suction
was dissolved in methylene chloride (150 ml), and to this solution was added
triethylamine (8.8 ml, 63.6 mmol). The reaction mixture was cooled to -14 °C,
using an ice-salt bath, isobutyl chloroformate (9.0 ml, 69.2 mmol) was added
and stirred for 0.5 h at the same temperature, pumped ammonia gas cautiously
at 0–5 °C for 0.5 h, washed with 1 N HCl and saturated brine, respectively,
dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure.
The resulting yellow residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give the
title compound (13.50 g, 83.6%; m.p. 126–127 °C) as a white solid. Single
crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an
ethyl acetate solution. 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ): 1.37 (3H, s, CH3),
1.47
(9H, s, CH3), 2.14–3.86 (4H, m, C5, C6), 3.89 (3H,
s, OCH3), 4.35–4.37 (2H, m,C2), 5.37 (1H, br, CONH),
6.19 (1H, br, CONH). MS (ESI, m/z): 286 (M+H)+.
All H atoms were placed at calculated positions, with C—H = 0.96–0.97Å and
N—H= 0.86 Å, and were included in the final cycles of refinement
using a riding model,
with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C),
allowing for free rotation of the methyl groups.

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 >
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. |

Quinolone antibacterial agents have emerged as one of the dominant classes of chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of various bacterial infections in both community and hospital settings (Ray et al., 2005; Ball et al., 1998). In general, 5- and 6 -membered nitrogen heterocycles including piperazinyl, pyrrolidinyl and piperidinyl type side chains have been proven to be the optimal substituents (Anderson & Osheroff, 2001; Choi et al., 2004). Recently, as part of an ongoing program to find potent new quinolones displaying strong Gram-positive activity, we have focused our attention on introducing new functional groups to the piperidine ring (Wang, Guo & Wang, 2008; Wang, Liu & Cao, 2008). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, which is a key intermediate of 3-amino-4-methoxyimino-3-methylpiperidine, a novel C-7 substituent of the quinolones.
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the N1—C1 [1.352 (3) Å] and N2—C7 [1.320 (3) Å] bond lengths are significantly shorter than the normal C—N single bond (1.47 Å), indicating some conjugation with the C1═O2 and C7═O3 carbonyl groups, respectively. The six-membered piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal structure, the molecules have an intramolecular N—H···O and an intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1 & Fig. 2)
