To a refluxing suspension of caesium carbonate (15.2 mmol) in THF under nitrogen
was added dropwise a solution of α,α'-dibromo-p-xylene (3.75 mmol)
and 1,8-bis(2-hydroxyphenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane (3.79 mmol) in THF over a period
of 3 h. The mixture was then refluxed for an additional 24 h. After cooling to
room temperature, 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid was added. The solvent was
removed under reduced pressure and the residual mixture was extracted with
dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous
magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was
chromatographed on a silica-gel column using a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate
and n-hexane (1:1) as eluent, and recrystallized from
dichloromethane/n-hexane (1:20, v/v) to give as a
crystalline solid in 70% yield (m.p. 424 K). IR (KBr pellet): 2926, 1600,
1504, 1235, 1126, 996 and 735 cm-1. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.54 (d, 4H,
Ar-H), 7.06–6.91 (m, 8H, Ar-H), 5.06 (s, 4H, ArCH2O),

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. |

An extraordinary variety of crown ether-based macrocyclic compounds have been synthesized and reported since crown ether was first discovered (Pedersen, 1967) because their topological interesting as well as their inclusion behaviour (Gokel & Korzeniowski, 1982; Izatt & Christensen, 1981; Lindoy 1989; Vögtle & Weber, 1985; Weber et al. 1989). We have also synthesized and reported the preparation and the solid-state structure of new crown ether (I) bearing three aromatic subunits (Sim et al., 2001). As a part of our continuing interest in the development of new crown compounds, the preparation and crystal structure of new crown ether-based macrocyclic compound (II) containing three benzo units of which ring size is larger than that of the previous reported compound (I) are presented here.
The title compound (II), 2,9,16,19,22,25-hexaoxatetracyclo[24.4.24,7.0.010,15]-dotriaconta-1(26),4,6, 10 (15),11,13,27,29,31-nonaene was prepared by the reaction of α,α'-dibromo-p-xylene with 1,8-bis(2-hydroxyphenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane in the presence of Cs2CO3 with tetrahydrofuran (THF) and recrystallized from dichloromethane/hexane (1:20) at room temperature to give colorless single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
In the molecular structure of (II), the torsion angels of C—C—O—C connecting A-to-B rings and A-to-C rings aromatic are 167.0 (2)° and 163.4 (2)°, respectively, which indicate that the A ring is situated trans to both the B and C rings, with dihedral angles of 57.04 (8)° between A and B and 44.41 (8)° between A and C. The dihedral angle between B and C rings is 14.2 (1)°. The all O—C—C—O and C—C—O—C torsion angles except two C—C—O—C in the triethylene glycol group exhibit gauche conformation. Two exceptional C—C—O—C (C10—C9—O3—C8 and C9—C10—O4—C11) torsion angles are trans conformation with the values of -162.5 (2)° and -156.1 (2)°, respectively.
Interestingly, two oxygen atoms of the central ethylene glycol in the triethylene glycol unit exhibit the exo-orientations which are very different from those found in the ethylene glycol backbone of (I) (Sim et al., 2001) or common crown ether-based compounds. In general, oxygen atoms of ethylene glycol group in crown ether-based compounds favor endo-orientation (Wolf et al., 1987). The exo-orientations of two oxygen atoms (O3 and O4) in (II) may be due to the intramolecular C—H···O interactions; 2.62 Å for C9—H9A···O2 and 2.70 Å for C10—H10A···O6 (Fig. 1 & Table 1).
The crystal packing is stabilized by not only intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds with C—H···O separation in the range of 2.71–2.90 Å but intermolecular C—H···π interactions with C—H···Cg separations in the range of 2.76–3.06 Å (Fig. 2 & Table 1; Cg is the centroid of aromatic ring).
