In the 16H14O6·H2O, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 60.8 (3)°. Molecules are linked through a bifurcated O—H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming a zigzag chain along the b axis. The chains are further linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds mediated by water molecules.

The title compound 1 was synthesized in two steps. In the first step tert-butyl 2-({2'-[2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethoxy][1,1'-biphenyl]-2- yl}oxy) acetate (compound 2) was prepared and in the second step the tert-butyl group was removed to obtain the title compound 1. The experimental procedure of the both steps is presented below. 1. Synthesis of tert-butyl 2-({2'-[2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethoxy][1,1'-biphenyl] -2- yl}oxy)acetate 2: K2CO3 (414 mg, 3 mmol) and 2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl (186 mg, 1 mmol) in 15 ml of acetone were stirred for 10 minutes, followed by addition of tertiary butyl bromoacetate (371 mg, 3 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for three hours. Solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in a mixture of water (50 ml) and dichloromethane (50 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted three times with dichloromethane.The combined organic phases were evaporated under reduced pressure and the solid residue was dissolved in hot hexane and slow evaporation of hot hexane give us colorless crystals (736 mg) in 80% yield. 2. Synthesis of 2,2'-[biphenyl-2,2'-diylbis(oxy)]diacetic acid 1: 500 mg (1.2 mmol) of was dissolved in 10 ml of dichloromethane and 5 ml of TFA was added to the stirred solution. The reaction was monitor with thin layer
(hexane:choroform 2:8) after each 10 minutes of interval. After 30 minutes the starting material disappeared. All the TFA and solvent were removed through freeze drying and the solid residue was dissolved in methanol, slow evaporation of methanol at room temperature yielded colorless crystals (310 mg, 85%).Water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.83 (2) and H···H = 1.35 (2) Å. Other H atoms were placed at calculated positions (C—H = 0.95 - 0.99 and O—H = 0.84 Å) and were treated as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O).

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. |

By virtue of their role as pharmacophore, the biphenyl structural motif is found to be an integral part of several important biologically active compounds (Kamoda et al., 2006). The biphenyl system have been extensively studied by X-ray crystallography (Ali, Hussain et al., 2008; Ali, Ibad et al., 2008; Ali, Shah & VanDerveer, 2008; Ibad et al., 2008) and their role have been elaborated in the domain of photophysics (Park, 2000). Our interest in the chemistry of biphenyl compounds stems from their use as starting material for the synthesis of oligo(p-phenylene)s (Sisson et al., 2006; Litvinchuk et al., 2004). The cylindrical self-assembly of suitably substituted oligo(p-phenylene)s result in the formation of functionalized pores (Baudry et al., 2006). We report now the synthesis and crystal structure of 2,2'-[biphenyl-2,2'-diylbis(oxy)]diacetic acid.
The dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings is 60.8 (3)°. The inter ring C6—C7 distance is 1.488 (3) Å, which compares well with the reported value (MacNeil & Decken 1999). The molecules of the title compound (Fig. 1) are interacting through intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding (Table 1) involving carbonyl and hydrogen of the type C═O···HO (Fig. 2). The intermolecular hydrogen bonding is mediated by water molecules (Fig. 2). The two carboxylic acid groups are oriented in the same directions (Fig. 1) due to hydrogen bonding contrary to its hydrazide (Ibad et al., 2008) and ester analogue (Ali, Hussain et al., 2008; Ali, Ibad et al., 2008; Ali, Shah & VanDerveer, 2008) where both carboxylic acids are oriented in different directions. The C14—O2 and C16—O5 distances in the title compound are 1.207 (5) and 1.194 (5) Å, respectively, typical of double bonds (Ibad et al., 2008). The OCH2COOH substituent are having torsion angle 165.3 (4)° (C13—O1—C1—C6) and 178.6 (4)° (C15—O4—C12—C7) with respect to phenyl rings.
