Abstract top

In the molecule of the title compound, C16H14O2, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 78.49 (3)°. The heterocyclic ring adopts a twist conformation. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the c axis.

Comment top

The title compound was prepared in order to evalute its potential as antibacterial and antifungal agents. The CCDC search (Allen, 2002) showed that the crystal structures of rac-exo-tricarbonyl-(h6-3-phenyl isochromanone) -chromium (Schnebel et al., 2003) and 3,4-dihydro-8-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy- phenyl)-isocoumarin (Schmalle et al., 1982) have been reported, which have close resemblance as far as isochromane and attached phenyl ring is considered. We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.

In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. Rings A (C1-C6) and C (C11-C16) are, of course, planar, and they are oriented at a dihedral angle of 78.49 (3)°. Ring B (O2/C5-C9) is not planar, having total puckering amplitude, QT, of 2.420 (3) Å and twisted conformation [φ = 151.98 (3)° and θ = 88.50 (3)°] (Cremer & Pople, 1975).

In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into chains along the c axis, in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

Experimental top

As shown in Scheme 2, a mixture of homophthalic acid (1.98 g, 11.0 mmol) and 2-phenylacetyl chloride (7.08 g, 46 mmol) was heated under reflux for 6 h at 473 K. After concentration, the residue was chromatographed on silica gel column using petroleum ether (333–353 K) to give 3-benzyl-1H-isochromen-1-one. 2-(2-oxo-3-phenylpropyl) benzoic acid was obtained by refluxing a solution of 3-benzyl-1H-isochromen-1-one (4 g, 15.9 mmol) in ethanol (200 ml) and potassium hydroxide (5%,200 ml) for 6 h. NaBH4 (1.6 g) was added to a solution of 2-(2-oxo-3-phenylpropyl) benzoic acid (4.81 g, 17.8 mmol) in sodium hydroxide (1%, 180 ml) and the resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. After being acidified with HCl, the whole mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (2 \ times 15 ml). Usual work-up gave crude racemic hydroxy-acid, 2-(2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl)benzoic acid, which was dissolved in acetic anhydride (5 ml) and heated under reflux for 2 h to get the title compound (yield; 73%, m.p. 605-606 K). The crude compound was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with petroleum ether and recrystallized in ethanol.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C-H = 0.93, 0.98 and 0.97 Å for aromatic, methine and methylene H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
