A mixture of 4-nitrothiophenol (1.0 g, 6.40 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.94 g, 14.1 mmol) in acetonitrile, was added dropwise to 1.04 ml of ethyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropionate (1.37 g, 7.04 mmol). The mixture was stirred and heated under reflux for 6 h. After that, the mixture was poured onto cold water. The resulting oil was treated with a mixture of tetrahydrofuran/methanol/H2O (3:2:1, v/v/v, 6 ml/mmol), and LiOH was added (5 equiv). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Then, HCl solution (10% v/v) was added, and most of the organic solvents removed in vacuo. The partly solid residue was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 x 10 ml), dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow solid (m.p. 394.9 K). Single crystals of (I) were obtained from acetonitrile.
All the H atoms were constrained using the riding-model approximation [C—Haryl = 0.95 Å, Uiso(Haryl) = 1.2 Ueq(Caryl); C—Hmethyl = 0.98 Å, Uiso(Hmethyl) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl)]; O—H = 0.82 Å, Uiso(Hhydroxyl) = 1.5Ueq(O)].
Fibrates, such as bezafibrate, clofibric acid and fenofibrate (Henry et al., 2003; Rath et al., 2005; Djinović et al., 1989), which are ligands for the nuclear receptor PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor), are used as therapeutic agents in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, heart disease and diabetic complications in humans. The fibrates are a widely used class of lipid-modifying agents that decrease plasma triglycerides (Thorp, 1962; Miller & Spence, 1998; Forcheron et al., 2002). The fibric acid pharmacophore has been of interest to medicinal chemists ever since the initial discovery that ethyl chlorophenoxyisobutyrate possessed hypolipidemic properties (Thorp & Waring, 1962).
In order to assist our knowledge about the electronic and steric requirements for such compounds to to show antihyperlipidemic activity, we have determined the
of the title compound, (I), which is an analogue of clofibric acid with a thioisobutirate side chain. A view of the molecular structure of (I) and hydrogen bonded dimers is given in Fig. 1. The is permeated by strong O—H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions, as well as weak C—H···O interactions (Tablel 1) (Desiraju, 2002). The O—H···O hydrogen bonding interactions form centrosymmetric dimers and generate rings that can be described as having a graph set motif of R22(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995).For related literature on fibrate structures and biological activity, see: Henry et al. (2003); Rath et al. (2005); Djinović et al. (1989); Thorp (1962); Thorp & Waring (1962); Miller & Spence (1998); Forcheron et al. (2002). For related literature, see: Bernstein et al.

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. |

Fibrates, such as bezafibrate, clofibric acid and fenofibrate (Henry et al., 2003; Rath et al., 2005; Djinović et al., 1989), which are ligands for the nuclear receptor PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor), are used as therapeutic agents in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, heart disease and diabetic complications in humans. The fibrates are a widely used class of lipid-modifying agents that decrease plasma triglycerides (Thorp, 1962; Miller & Spence, 1998; Forcheron et al., 2002). The fibric acid pharmacophore has been of interest to medicinal chemists ever since the initial discovery that ethyl chlorophenoxyisobutyrate possessed hypolipidemic properties (Thorp & Waring, 1962).
In order to assist our knowledge about the electronic and steric requirements for such compounds to to show antihyperlipidemic activity, we have determined the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), which is an analogue of clofibric acid with a thioisobutirate side chain. A view of the molecular structure of (I) and hydrogen bonded dimers is given in Fig. 1. The crystal structure is permeated by strong O—H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions, as well as weak C—H···O interactions (Tablel 1) (Desiraju, 2002). The O—H···O hydrogen bonding interactions form centrosymmetric dimers and generate rings that can be described as having a graph set motif of R22(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995).
