Abstract top

The title compound {systematic name: 1-[(1R,4aS,10aR)-7-isopropyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9,10,10a-octahydrophenanthren-1-yl]-N-[(E)-2-pyridylmethyleneamino]methanamine}, C26H33N2, has been synthesized from dehydroabietylamine. The two cyclohexane rings form a trans ring junction with classic chair and half-chair conformations, respectively, whereas the benzene and pyridine rings are almost planar, and the dihedral angle between them is 80.4°. The two methyl groups directly attached to the tricyclic nucleus are on the same side of the tricyclic hydrophenanthrene structure.

Comment top

Dehydroabietylamine is a highly interesting compound for its special structure and wide range of applications (Rao, Song, He & Jia, 2008). As an excellent chiral resolving agent, dehydroabietylamine is successful applied in the coalescent of Penicillin (Cannon,1952) and the synthesis of dihydroxyphenylalanine (Kalser et al., 1976). Dehydroabietylamine derivatives exhibited broad spectrum of biological properties including antibacterial, antifungal, and antipenetrant activities (Heinrich, 1981; Wilkerson et al., 1991; Wilkerson et al., 1993; Rao et al., 2007; Rao, Song, & He, 2008; Rao, Song, Jia & Shang, 2008)). Although much attention has been paid to dehydroabietylamine derivatives, the crystal structure of the title compound has not yet been reported. In this paper, we present the crystal structure of the title compound.

The title structure is compared with previously found structure 4-chloro-2-{(E)-[(1R,4aS,10aR)-7-isopropyl-1,4a-dimethyl-1,2, 3,4,4a,9,10,10a-octahydrophenanthren-1-yl] methyliminomethyl} phenol (Rao et al., 2006). They exhibited the same configurations with each other. As shown in Fig.1, the title compound contains four crystrallographically rings, the two cyclohexane rings (rings C and B) form a trans ring junction with classic chair and half-chair conformations, respectively. The benzene ring and the pyridine ring (rings A and D) are almost planar. The two methyl groups directly attached to the tricyclic nucleus are on the same side of the tricyclic hydrophenanthrene structure, and the two methyl groups are in the axis position of the cyclohexane ring, the bond lengths and bond angles in the molecule are in normal ranges.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by the reaction of dehydroabietylamine (0.1 mol) and pyridylaldehyde (0.1 mol) in ethanol (100 ml) under 353.5 K for 4 h. Single crystals of the title compound were obtained by solvent evaporation [m.p. 372K].

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.96Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms, and C—H = 0.97–0.98Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for all other H atoms. The high Flack value was resulted by the crystal quality.

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.
