Abstract top

The crystal structure of the title compound, C26H25NO3, was determined as part of an investigation of host-guest and electron donor-acceptor complexes. The oxazole and the pyrrole rings both adopt envelope conformations. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings directly linked to the oxazole ring is 49.5 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by a C-H...[pi] interaction.

Comment top

The design and synthesis of cyclophanes possessing rigidly defined cavities and shape-persistent structures of molecular dimensions is of interest as molecular hosts in the areas of host-guest and electron donor-acceptor complexes (Diederich, 1991; Cram & Cram, 1994; Morrison & Hoger, 1996). 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions afford efficient methods for the construction of heterocyclic units in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner (Padwa, 1984). In particular, the chemistry of azomethine ylides has gained significance in recent years as it serves as an expedient route for the construction of nitrogen heterocycles. N and O heterocycles have also been shown to provide useful information about anticancer and antiviral properties (Chiacchio et al., 2003).

In the crystal structure of the title compound, the oxazole ring adopts an envelope conformation with atom C15 displaced by 0.172 (3) Å from the plane of the other ring atoms N1/O3//C14/C19. The puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) and asymmetry parameters (Nardelli, 1983) are q2 =0.275 (2) Å, φ = 152.3 (5)°, ΔS(C15) = 5.7 (2)° and Δ2(C19) = 8.5 (2)°. The pyrrole ring also adopts an envelope conformation with atom C18 displaced by 0.208 (3) Å from the plane of the other ring atoms C15/C16/C17/N1. The puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) and asymmetry parameters (Nardelli, 1983) are q2= 0.329 (3) Å, φ = 144.0 (6)°, ΔS(C18) = 0.9 (4)° and Δ2(C16) = 16.5 (4)°.

The conformation of the cyclophane ring O1/ C7/ C6/ C1/ C26/ O2/ C21/ C20/ C19/ C14/ C13/ C8 is described by the torsion angles in Table 1. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings directly linked to the oxazole ring is 49.5 (1)°. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and bond angles are in agreement with the values reported in literature.

The crystal structure is stabilized by a C—H···π (C7—H7A···Cg1) interaction, where Cg1 is the centroid of the C1—C6 ring.

Experimental top

To a solution of O,O'-coupled salicylaldehyde (bis aldehyde), using o-xylylene bromide (2 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (20 ml), was added L-proline (1 mmol) under an N2 atmosphere. The reaction was refluxed for 4 h. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by column chromatography.

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93-0.98 Å and 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.
