1,3-Bis(2-ethoxyphenyl)triazene
The compound was prepared by the following method: A 100 ml flask was charged
with 10 g of ice and 15 ml of water and then cooled to 273 K in an ice-bath.
To this was added 10 mmol (1.37 g) of o–phenetidin and 13 mmol of
hydrochloric acid (37%). To this solution was added a solution containing
NaNO2 (6 mmol, 0.41 g) in 25 ml of water during a 15 min period. After mixing
for 15 min, a solution containing 180 mmol (14.76 g) of sodium acetate in 45 ml of water was added. After mixing for 45 min the brown product was filtered
off
and dissolved in Et2O, and was crystallized at 263 K. Yield, (50%) 24 mmol
(6.85 g). Recrystallization from Et2O afforded the product as an orange
crystalline material. m. p. 374–375 K. 1H NMR(300 MHz, DMSO):
1.36 (6H, CH3), 4.10 (4H, CH2), 6.91–7.53 (8H,
aromatic), 11.26 (1H, NH). IR (KBr): 3149, 2977, 1599, 1489, 1253, 1045,
742 cm-1.
The hydrogen atoms of the NH groups were found in difference density Fourier
maps, but eventually all H atoms were placed in calculated positions.
All hydrogen atoms were refined in isotropic approximation using a riding
model with the Uiso(H) parameters equal to 1.2 Ueq(C/N),
for methyl groups equal to 1.5 Ueq(C), where U(C) and U(N) are the
respective equivalent thermal parameters of the carbon and nitrogen atoms to
which the corresponding H atoms are bonded. The C-H distances are in the
range of 0.95–0.98 Å, N-H distances are 0.91 Å.

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. |

Aryl triazenes have been studied for over 130 years for their interesting structural, anticancer, and reactivity properties. The first extensive investigation of the coordination chemistry of a triazene derivative (1,3-diphenyltriazene) was carried out in 1887 by Meldola (Meldola et al., 1888). In the intervening years, numerous transition metal triazenide compounds have been studied (Leman et al., 1993). Triazene compounds characterized by having a diazoamino group commonly adopt a trans configuration in the ground state (Chen et al., 2002). The study of transition metal complexes containing 1,3-diaryltriazenide [RN═N—NR]- ligands has increased greatly in the past few years, because of their potential reactivity in relation to their several coordination modes (Vrieze et al., 1987). We have recently reported the synthesis and characterization of the two molecules 1,3-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)triazene (Rofouei, et al., 2006) and 1,3-bis(2-cyanophenyl)triazene (Melardi, et al., 2008).
The title compound, C16H19N3O2, is a related triazene compound and crystallizes in the space group P 1 with two crystallographically independent molecules per unit cell. It exhibits a trans stereo chemistry of the N═N double bond, and the C9—N3—N2—N1 and C17—N4—N5—N6 torsion angles are -179.45 (13) and 176.67 (13)°, respectively. The N1—N2, N2—N3, N4—N5 and N5—N6 bond distances are 1.3196 (18), 1.2909 (18), 1.2896 (18) and 1.3214 (18) Å, respectively, which indicates the presence of distinct single and double bonds between the nitrogen atoms. These values are in good agreement with the reported data for N—N and N═N bond distances (Hematyar, et al., 2008; Payehghadr, et al. 2007). For example, in 1,3-bis(2-cyanophenyl)triazene, the N—N and N═N bond distances are 1.335 (5) and 1.289 (5) Å (Melardi, et al., 2008). Individual molecules are mostly planar with an rms deviation from planarity of 0.0646 Å for all non-hydrogen atoms.
The two crystallographically independent molecules in the molecular structure (Fig. 1) are connected by two distinct classic N—H···N hydrogen bonds with D···A distances of 3.018 (2) and 3.008 (2) Å (Table 1). The N—H···N hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of dimers with an R22(8) graph set geometry (Grell et al., 2002). The steric demand of the ethoxy groups in the ortho position prevents a co-planar arrangement of the two molecules in the dimers and these do instead consist of two interlocked molecules that are related by a non-crystallographic pseudo-twofold rotation axis. The dihedral angle between the best least square planes of the two molecules is 63.15 (3) °.
Also, there are interesting weak C—H···π interactions between the CH groups and the aromatic phenyl rings with H···π and C···π distances of 2.85 and 3.686 (2) Å for C4–H4A···Cg1 (2 - x, 2 - y, 1 - z) and 2.78 and 3.549 (3) Å for C32–H32B···Cg2 (1 - x, 1 - y, -z) [Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids for C17—C22 and C25—C30 rings, respectively] (Fig. 2). The unit cell packing of the title compound is presented in Fig. 3.
