Comment top

The methoxydibenzooxepin–one derivatives have important antiviral activity and cause attention to new synthetic methods and investigation of similar compounds (Yoshioka et al., 1978). Many methoxydibenzooxepin–one derivatives directly prepared from methoxy 2–(biphenyl–2–yloxy) acetyl chloride (Suau et al., 1996; Tandon et al., 2009). The 2,9,10–trimethoxydibenzo[b,d]oxepin–7(6H)–one, (Fig. 1), was prepared from the previously synthesized 2–(3',4',5–trimethoxy biphenyl–2–yloxy) acetyl chloride.

The dihedral angle between the benzene ring (C1–C6) and benzene ring (C7–C12) is 34.55 (5)°. In the crystal structure neither classical nor non–classical hydrogen bonds are found.

Experimental top

To a solution of 2–(3',4',5–trimethoxybiphenyl–2–yloxy) acetyl chloride (5 mmol) in 20 ml trifluoroacetic anhydride was added anhydrous zinc chloride (1 mmol). After stirring the reaction mixture for 12 h at reflux temperature, the trifluoroacetic anhydride was recovered under reduced pressure and residue was added 20 ml water. The aqueous phases were extracted with 100 ml ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were washed with 200 ml saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude material was purified via silica gel chromatography (5% ethyl acetate / hexane) to afford a translucent solid in a yield of 80%. Crystals suitable for single–crystal X–ray diffraction were obtained by recrystallization from methanol at room temperature in a total yield of 28%. Analysis found: C 67.9, H 5.3%; C17H16O5 requires: C 67.9, H 5.4%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) 7.33 (s, 1H), 7.25 (d, J = 2.9 Hz, 1H), 7.16 (t, J = 4.4 Hz, 1H), 6.96 (dd, J = 8.7, 2.9 Hz, 1H), 4.75 (s, 2H), 3.97 (s, 1H), 3.86 (s, 1H), 3.82 (s, 2H), 2.50 (s, 2H).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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.
