Methyl 5-hydroxy-3-phenyl-1,2-oxazolidine-5-carboxylate

Abstract top

In the title compound, C11H13NO4, the isoxazolidine ring has an envelope conformation with the O atom as the flap. In the crystal, molecules are liked via N-H...O and bifurcated O-H...(O,N) hydrogen bonds forming chains propagating along [010]. There are also C-H...O interactions present.

Comment top

Isoxazolidines are interesting heterocyclic compounds that may be regarded as unusual constrained β-amino acids or as furanose mimetics, and have been exploited as analogues of natural products (Lv et al., 2010). Isoxazolidines are also applied in the synthesis of oligopeptides in the absence of coupling reagents (Carrillo et al., 2006) and used as building blocks in organic synthesis (Ibrahem et al., 2007; Sharma et al., 1999).

Nitrogen containing nucleophiles such as hydroxylamines and hydrazoic acid are widely employed in conjugation additions to α,β-unsaturated ketones (Wu et al., 2006). The title compound is a Michael addition product from the transformation of hydroxylamine to an α,β-unsaturated ketone ester. We report herein on the crystal structure of the title compound.

The molecular structure of the title molecule is shown in Fig. 1. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are normal. The isoxazolidine ring possesses an envelope conformation with atom O1 as the flap.

In the crystal, molecules are linked via N—H···O and bifurcated O—H···O,N hydrogen bonds to form chains along the b axis (Table 1). These chains are linked via C-H···O interactions (Table 1).

Experimental top

To the solution of (E)-methyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbut-3-enoate (0.019 g, 0.1 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.07 g, 0.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (1 mL) was added triethylamine (0.012 g, 0.12mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h at 273 K. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified through column chromatography (petroleum ether: ethyl acetate = 3:1(V/V)). Single crystals, suitable for X-ray diffraction, were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl acetate solution at room temperature for 2 d.

Refinement top

The NH H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and freely refined. The OH and C-bound H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: O-H = 0.82 Å, C-H = 0.93, 0.96, 0.97 and 0.98 Å for CH(aromatic), CH3, CH2 and CH(methine) H-atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = k × Ueq(O,C), where k = 1.5 for OH and CH3 H-atoms and = 1.2 for other H-atoms.

Special details top

Experimental. Absorption correction: (CrysAlisPro; Oxford Diffraction, 2009) Empirical absorption correction using spherical harmonics, implemented in SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

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.
