(Received 26 May 2008; accepted 4 June 2008; online 13 June 2008)

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₆O₅, is an important intermediate for the synthesis of side-chain ligands for polymeric liquid crystals. The propoxy and benzoic acid groups subtend dihedral angles of 4.36 (6) and 55.35 (6)°, respectively, with the central benzoyloxy unit. The crystal structure is stabilized by an intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond.

Comment top

Differently substituted aromatic carboxylic acids having benzene rings either joined directly through a covalent bond (Wu & Hsu 2007) or through some functional group, mostly an ester (Cady et al., 2002; Wu & Lin 2007) or an olefin (Nazir et al., 2008a; 2008b), have been investigated for their liquid crystal properties. Such acids have been used in the synthesis of intermediates for side-chain liquid crystal polymers (Kong & Tang 1998) as well as for main-chain liquid crystal polymers (Aranzazu et al., 2006). In addition, the carboxylic acids, in general, have been used as intermediates in the synthesis of a large number of organic compounds (Hussain et al., 2005; 2003; Shafiq et al., 2005; 2003; Ahmad et al., 2003). The pharmaceutical industry has also benefited from this class of compounds (Ribeiro et al., 2008; Hameed & Rama, 2004). The title compound (I) was synthesized in our lab as an intermediate in the synthesis of side-chain liquid crystal polymers, by treating 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 4-propyloxybenzoylchloride followed by KMnO₄ oxidation. In this report, the crystal structure of (I) is presented. Bond lengths and angles are within the normal ranges as given for benzoyloxybenzoic acids (Hartung et al., 1997). The C(14)—O(4), C(14)—O(3),C(7)—O(1) and C(7)—O(2) bond lengths are 1.237 (3), 1.300 (3), 1.204 (3) and 1.367 (3) respectively, clearly indicating the partial double bond character of the carboxylate groups. The benzoic acid groups subtend dihedral angles [55.35 (6)°] with the central benzoyloxy moiety C(1)/C(2)/C(3)/C(4)/C(5)/C(6)/C(7)/O(1)/O(2). Two molecules related by an inversion center form a dimer via two hydrogen bonds composed of two carboxyl groups as shown in Fig. 2.

Experimental top

To a solution of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (0.032 moles) in 50 ml of triethylamine (TEA) was added an equivalent amount of 4-propoxybenzoylchloride with stirring and the mixture heated at 333 K for 1 hour. The excess TEA was removed in vacuo and the product, after recrystallization from hot ethanol, was subjected to KMnO₄ oxidation. The 4-(4-propoxybenzoyloxy)benzaldehyde (0.025 moles) was dissolved in acetone (100 ml) and aqueous KMnO₄ (0.025 moles) was added dropwise at room temperature with stirring. The stirring was continued for three hours when the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate acidified using 6M HCl. The product was purified by recrystallization from acetone.

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.
