The title compound, C14H14BrNO3, contains a bicyclic ring system with four chiral centers. The absolute structure was established by the Flack method.
A THF (1.0 ml) solution of trans-nitrostyrene (0.75 mmol) and cyclohex-2-enone (1.0 mmol) in the presence of (S)-1-methyl-2-(pyrrolidin-2-ylmethylthio)-1H-imidazole (0.15 mmol) as amine catalyst and benzoic acid (0.15 mmol) as additive at room temperature was subjected to vigorous stirring. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was washed with water (appoximately 300 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether-ethoxyethane). Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl acetate solution.
H atoms were placed in calculated position with C—H = 0.98, 0.97 and 0.93 Å for methine, methylene and aryl H-atoms. All H atoms were included in the final cycles of refinement in riding mode, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq of the carrier atoms. An absolute structure was established using 1226 Friedel pairs and has been presented in this article.

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. |

There has been growing interest in the study of asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction because it allows in principle the formation of four contiguous asymmetric centers (Anrendt et al., 2000; Northrup & MacMillan, 2002; Xu et al., 2007, 2008). Consequently, we have synthesized a series of Diels-Alder products in our laboratory and the crystal structure and absolute configuration of one of these, the title compound, (I), is reported in this article.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the nitryl and the 4-bromophenyl groups lie on different sides of the plane defined by C3/C4/C5 atoms with O2—N1—C4—C5 and N1—C4—C5—C9 torsion angles of 141.4 (4) and 92.5 (5)°, respectively. The C5—H5 bond and 4-bromophenyl group are almost coplanar with H5—C5—C9—C10 torsion angle of -2.3°. The structure is devoid of any classical hydrogen bonding and the molecules of (I) are separated by normal van der Waal's forces (Fig. 2).
