(3aS,4S,6S,7aR)-Hexahydro-3a,5,5-trimethyl-2-phenyl-4,6-methano-1,3,2-benzodioxaborole
The molecule of the title compound, C16H21BO2, comprises a chiral fused tricyclic system containing five-membered (1,3,2-dioxaborolane), six-membered (cyclohexane) and four-membered (cyclobutane) rings. The 1,3,2-dioxaborolane ring is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.035 Å), and the syn H and Me substituents at this ring are in an eclipsed conformation. The cyclohexane and cyclobutane rings adopt sofa and butterfly conformations, respectively. The B atom has a trigonal-planar configuration (sum of the bond angles = 360.0°). The phenyl ring is practically coplanar with the 1,3,2-dioxaborolane ring [dihedral angle between the ring planes = 1.96 (8)°]. The absolute structure was determined from the known configuration of (+)-pinanediol which was used in the synthesis. In the crystal, weak C-H
(Ph) interactions occur.
(+)-Pinanediol (10 g, 0.059 mol) was added to a solution of phenylboronic acid
(7.16 g, 0.059 mol) in ether (80 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h
at room temperature. Then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to
give the title compound as colourless prismatic crystals. Yield is 15 g (99%).

All the H atoms were discernible in the difference electron density map.
Nevertheless, all the H atoms were fully constrained. The values of the used
constraints were following: Caryl—H = 0.95, Cmethyl—H = 0.98,
Cmethylene—H = 0.99, Cmethine—H = 1.00 Å; Uiso(H) =
1.2Ueq(Caryl/methylene/methine); Uiso(H) =
1.5Ueq(Cmethyl). After the refinement converged the extremal
residual density peaks equalled to -0.197 and 0.302 e A-3. All the highest
positive peaks in the range of 0.170–0.302 e A-3) were situated between the
covalently bonded atoms. 2225 Friedel pairs were merged in the refinement
process. The absolute structure was determined from the known configuration of
(+)-pinanediol that had been used in the synthesis.

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. |

2-Substituted (+)-pinanediolboronates are well known compounds (Carmès et al., 2000; Caselli et al., 2003; Morandi et al., 2003; Morandi et al., 2005). In the present work, the (+)-pinanediol phenylboronate (CAS Registry Number: 76110-78-6) has been synthesized by the reaction of phenylboronic acid with (+)-pinanediol in diethyl ether (Fig. 1) as a starting material for the Matteson homologation reaction (Matteson et al., 1983; Matteson, 1989).
The molecule of the title compound, C16H21BO2, comprises a chiral fused tricyclic system containing five-membered (1,3,2-dioxaborolane), six-membered (cyclohexane) and four-membered (cyclobutane) rings (Fig. 2). The 1,3,2-dioxaborolane ring is almost planar (s.u. = 0.035 Å), and syn hydrogen and methyl substituents at this ring are in an eclipsed conformation. The cyclohexane (C8/C4/C3a/C7a/C7/C6 and C5/C4/C3a/C7a/C7/C6) and cyclobutane rings adopt sofa and butterfly conformations, respectively. The boron atom has a trigonal-planar configuration (sum of the bond angles is 360.0 (3)°). The phenyl ring is practically coplanar to the 1,3,2-dioxaborolane ring (the interplanar angle between the ring planes is 1.96 (8)°).
The absolute structure was determined from the known configuration of (+)-pinanediol that has been used in the synthesis. The title molecule possesses four asymmetric centres at C3a, C4, C6 and C7a carbon atoms. The configurations at these asymmetric centres are S, S, S, R, respectively.
The crystal packing of the title molecules is stabilized by the weak intermolecular C8—H8A···π(Ph) [the H···Cgi distance is 2.94 Å; Cg means the centroid of the phenyl ring composed of C12/C13–C17] and C11—H11A···π(Ph) [the H···Cgii distance is 2.97 Å] interactions. Symmetry codes: (i) -1 + x, y, z; (ii) 1/2 - x, 1 - y, 1/2 + z.
