The title compound, C25H24O3, synthesized as a potential chiral catalyst, exhibits a range of C—C bond lengths in the pentacycloundecane cage between 1.5144 (18) and 1.5856 (16) Å. The two benzene rings are not planar with respect to each other, but rather are twisted at a torsion angle of 34.67 (17)°. The molecule has an intramolecular O—H⋯O interaction and participates in two C—H⋯O intermolecular interactions to form a one-dimensional chain.

A solution of 4-bromobiphenyl in dry THF (3 mol eq) was cooled to -78°C using a dry-ice-acetone bath. Butyllithium solution (15% in hexane, 1.2 mole equivalents relative to bromobiphenyl) was added and the solution stirred for 10 minutes. A solution of pentacyclo-[5.4.0.02,6.03,10.05.,9]-undecane-8,11-dione-mono-ethylene ketal (1 mol eq-up to 1 g scale) in dry THF was added and the solution stirred at -78°C for 1 h then at room temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched by adding water dropwise. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The product was isolated using
(EtOAc/Hexane, 10:90). The oily product crystallized on standing at room temperature overnight.Non-hydrogen atoms were first refined isotropically followed by anisotropic
by full matrix least-squares calculations based on F2 using SHELXTL. Hydrogen atoms were first located in the difference map then positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms.The molecule was synthesized as part of an ongoing study into the synthesis of chiral cage ligands for applications in asymmetric catalysis. The title molecule, which exists as a
has the potential to be a very unique ligand once it is resolved into an compound.A number of publications have focused on the molecular geometries of PCU cage derivatives as well as the bond lengths which deviate from the normal value of 1.54 Å (Flippen-Anderson et al., 1991; Linden et al.,2005; Kruger et al., 2005, 2006, Boyle et al., 2007). Certain bonds in the cage skeleton are longer (e.g. C9—C10, 1.5922 Å) while others are significantly shorter (e.g. C1—C11, 1.5106 Å). The molecule (I) consists of a large hydrophobic hydrocarbon skeleton as well as a hydrophilic ketal group and hydroxyl moiety. The two aromatic rings attached to C8 are not planar with respect to each other, but rather twisted at a torsion angle of 34.67 (17)° as expected due to steric factors. Fig. 1 shows the molecular structure and the numbering scheme employed.
The molecule exhibits intramolecular hydrogen bonding (Fig. 2) between the hydroxyl group and the ketal group (O3—H3H···O2). There is no intermolecular hydrogen bonding present in the structure, however a complex network of weak Van der Waals interactions between neighbouring molecules (Fig. 3) results in a layered packing effect with alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic layers made up of the hydrophobic cage molecules and aromatic moeties, and the hydrophilic hydroxyl and ketal groups, respectively (Fig. 4).

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. |

The molecule was synthesized as part of an ongoing study into the synthesis of chiral cage ligands for applications in asymmetric catalysis. The title molecule, which exists as a racemic mixture, has the potential to be a very unique ligand once it is resolved into an enantiopure compound.
A number of publications have focused on the molecular geometries of PCU cage derivatives as well as the bond lengths which deviate from the normal value of 1.54 Å (Flippen-Anderson et al., 1991; Linden et al.,2005; Kruger et al., 2005, 2006, Boyle et al., 2007). Certain bonds in the cage skeleton are longer (e.g. C9—C10, 1.5922 Å) while others are significantly shorter (e.g. C1—C11, 1.5106 Å). The molecule (I) consists of a large hydrophobic hydrocarbon skeleton as well as a hydrophilic ketal group and hydroxyl moiety. The two aromatic rings attached to C8 are not planar with respect to each other, but rather twisted at a torsion angle of 34.67 (17)° as expected due to steric factors. Fig. 1 shows the molecular structure and the numbering scheme employed.
The molecule exhibits intramolecular hydrogen bonding (Fig. 2) between the hydroxyl group and the ketal group (O3—H3H···O2). There is no intermolecular hydrogen bonding present in the structure, however a complex network of weak Van der Waals interactions between neighbouring molecules (Fig. 3) results in a layered packing effect with alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic layers made up of the hydrophobic cage molecules and aromatic moeties, and the hydrophilic hydroxyl and ketal groups, respectively (Fig. 4).
