Comment top

The title compound, (I), C19H17N3O2, is a multifunctional compound, which can achieve varieties of conversion. For example, enol acetates was frequently used as intermediates in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical chemistry (Goossen et al., 2004; Debergh et al., 2008), the enyne derivatives had high synthetic potential due to wide applicability (Li et al., 2010; Nakao et al., 2008), and the enyne acetate could be converted to heterocyclic compounds through metal-catalyzed transformation or electrophilic cyclization (Chen et al., 2011). Moreover, the (Z)-enyne acetate was obtained from (Z)-2-bromoenol acetate and phenylacetylene, it proved that the Sonogashira coupling reaction was in stereospecific manner. In view of this, the crystal structure determination of the title compound was carried out and the results are presented here.

As depicted in Fig. 1, the phenylethynyl group (C1—C8) [maximum deviations of 0.007 (2) and 0.028 Å for the C7 and C8 atoms, respectively] and the styryl group (C9—C16) [maximum deviations of 0.058 (2) and 0.041 (3) Å for the C9 and C10 atoms, respectively] are almost planar with maximum deviation of 1.24 (2) °. The acetoxy group (C17/C18/O1/O2) is slight tilted with respect to the benzene mean planes by 82.46 (2) (C11—C16) and 82.26 (3) ° (C1—C6). The bond lengths are within normal range (Allen et al., 1987). The molecules are linked into an infinite chain through intermolecular C18—H18A···O2 hydrogen bonding interactions. In addition, intramolecular C16—H16···O1 are also observed.

Experimental top

To the mixture of (Z)-2-bromoenol acetate (1 mmol, 0.241 g), Pd(OAc)2 (0.05 mmol, 0.011 g) and PPh3 (0.1 mmol, 0.026 g) in THF (2 ml) solvent, TEA (1 mmol, 0.101 g) and CuI (0.05 mmol, 0.0098 g) were added successively, stirred for five minutes at room temperature, phenylacetylene (2.0 mmol, 0.204 g) was added, the flask was then sealed and stirred at 323 K for 6 h. The solution was washed with water (10 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (24 ml), and the combined extract was dried with anhydrous MgSO4. Solvent was removed, and the residue was purified by silica gel (200–300 mesh) column by elution with petroleum ether: ethyl acetate (10:1) to give 20 fractions (200 ml per fraction). The title compound (252.8 mg) was isolated from the fractions 5–16 (yield 96.5%). Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in ethyl acetate at room temperature.

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.
