In the title compound, C9H11Cl2NO3, the six-membered ring adopts a screw-chair conformation. In the crystal, two different C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the same acceptor atom connect the mol­ecules into a chain extending along the c-axis direction.

Comment top

4-Dichloromethyl-4-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone, as a conjugated enone, readily undergo Michael reaction with carbanions, giving synthetically valuable polyfunctionalized products (Wenkert et al., 1969). Utilizing this reaction, some natural products (Stefanović et al., 1983), as well as some bioactive compounds (Solujić et al., 1991; 1999) were successfully synthesized. We report now on synthesis of the title compound (I) by the same reaction using carbanion obtained from nitromethane.

The crystal structure of (I) is shown in Figure 1. None of the oxygen atoms of the nitro group is involved in hydrogen bonding. Similarly, two chlorine atoms also remain without the appropriate intermolecular donor, while there are two bent C—H···Cl intramolecular contacts shorter then the sum of van der Waals radii for H and Cl atoms [C6—H6a = 0.97, H6···Cl1 = 2.76 Å, C6—H6···Cl1 =106 °; C2—H2 = 0.98, H2···Cl2 = 2.66 Å, C2—H2···Cl2 = 112 °]. The most significant interaction in the crystal structure is a bifurcated C—H···O hydrogen bond [C8—H8 = 0.98; H8···O3i = 2.24 Å; C8—H8···O3 = 164° and C1—H1a = 0.97; H1a···O3i = 2.56 Å; C1—H1a···O3 = 164°] (symmetry code: i = x, y, z - 1)] which connects the molecules into chains extended along the c axis (Figure 2).

Experimental top

Following the literature protocol (Wenkert et al., 1969), to freshly prepared sodium methoxide in methanol a nitromethane solution of 4-(dichloromethyl)-4-methylcyclohex-2,5-dienone in dry methanol was added dropwise. After one hour stirring of the obtained solution, the solvent was evaporated and the rest quenched with diluted hydrochloric acid. The obtained mixture was extracted with toluene, the organic layer dried overnight (anh. sodium sulfate) and the solvent evaporated. The crude solid was recrystallized from hot toluene to give pure 4-(dichloromethyl)-4-methyl-5-(nitromethyl)cyclohex-2-enon.

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed at geometrically calculated positions and included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with C—H lengths of 0.93 (aromatic CH), 0.96 (CH3), 0.97 (CH2), and 0.98 Å (CH). Uiso of the H atoms were set at 1.5Ueq of the parent C for the methyl group and at 1.2Ueq otherwise.
