(Received 14 July 2011; accepted 15 July 2011; online 23 July 2011)

In the title compound, C42H29Br, the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the three attached benzene rings are very similar, lying in the range 52.65 (6)–57.20 (7)°. Of the dihedral angles between the rings of the o-biphenyl substituents, two are similar [46.34 (7) and 47.35 (7)°], while the other differs significantly [64.17 (7)°]. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by two weak C—H⋯π inter­actions.

Comment top

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, also called Suzuki coupling, is a particular type of cross-coupling reaction that involves the coupling of an organometallic boron species, R—B, with an organic electrophile, R'-X where X is an organic halide (Br in the presented case), in the presence of a Pd catalyst and a base, resulting in the formation of a new C—C bond, (Miyaura & Suzuki, 1995) and (Liu et al., 2006).

The title compound can thus be used as a useful electrophile for insertion of a new substituent on the 1 position of the central ring and it was prepared as a part of the ongoing research concerning about the importance of the transmetallation step in the overall efficiency of the cross-coupling reaction and about the role of the intramolecular Pd···π and π ··· π aromatic interactions on the stabilization of Pd(II) complexes, that contributes to the selectivity of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction in the synthesis of arylnaphthalenes and polypnenylenes, (Lima et al., 2011).

The molecule, Fig.1, presents a high degree of torsion between phenyl rings probably due to the steric hindrance promoted by the ortho-substitution of the 2-biphenylyl substituents on the central benzene ring. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the central phenyl ring containing atoms C1 and the mean planes of the phenyl rings attached to atoms C2, C4 and C5 are respectively, 57.20 (7)°, 56.88 (6)° and 52.65 (6)°. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings containing atoms C21 and C221 is 64.17 (7)°, that between the mean plane of the phenyl rings C containing atoms C41 and C421 is 47.35 (7)°, that between the phenyl rings C containing atoms C51 and C521 is 46.34 (7)° and that between the phenyl rings containing atoms C41 and C51 is 52.21 (7)°.

The molecules are linked to form a centrosymmetric dimer by two weak C—H···π interactions, Table 1 and Fig.2. There are no π···π interactions.

Experimental top

A mixture of 1,2,4,5-tetrabromobenzene (0.35 mmol), 2-boronic acid (1.9 mmol), PdCl2(dppe) (0.07 mmol) and K2CO3 (2.5 mmol) in 35 cm3 of distilled water/toluene (1:2.5) was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere for approximately 10 h at 359 K. Afterwards the reaction mixture was extracted twice with aqueous solutions of NaOH (1M) followed by HCl (1M), respectively. The product was purified by recrystallization from methanol. The sublimation of the compound at reduced pressure (<10 Pa) and T=520 K, produced colorless blocks of the title compound.

Refinement top

H atoms were treated as riding atoms with C—H(aromatic), 0.95 Å, with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C). The positions of the H atoms were calculated and checked on a difference map during the refinement. Four refections were omitted, two of which were obscured by the beamstop and two for which (Iobs/Ical)/sigma was greater than 10.

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.
