(Received 19 February 2009; accepted 25 March 2009; online 2 April 2009)

The title compound, C16H34N2, is a chiral diamine with fixed R configuration at both stereogenic carbon centres of the cyclo­hexane backbone. Due to their different substituents, the two N atoms also become stereogenic. In the crystal structure, the configuration at one of the two nitro­gen centres is fixed, with the free electron pair pointing inward and the isobutyl group in a trans position towards the cyclo­hexane backbone resulting in an R configuration. The isobutyl group at the second N atom, however, is disordered with 75% S configuration and 25% R configuration. In both cases, the isobutyl group is arranged in a trans position towards the cyclo­hexane backbone.

Comment top

In preparative chemistry, chiral nitrogen ligands such as (1R,2R)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine [(R,R)-TMCDA] and its derivatives are often used to enhance the stereoselectivity of deprotonation or addition reactions by coordinating to organolithium reagents (Kizirian, 2008). In the case of the cyclohexanediamine ligands, derivatives with three different substituents at the nitrogen centres revealed to be more efficient than their symmetric analogues (Kizirian et al., 2003; Stead et al., 2008).

The title compound represents the crystal structure of such an uncoordinated (R,R)-TMCDA derivative (for related crystal structures, see: Strohmann & Gessner, 2007a,b; Strohmann & Gessner, 2008; Strohmann et al. et al., 2008b; Strohmann et al., 2008a). (1R,2R)-N,N'-diisobutyl-N, N'-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine (1) (Fig. 1), crystallizes at -78 °C in the orthorhombic crystal system, space group P212121. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of the chiral diamine. The configuration at one of the two nitrogen centres is fixed with the free electron pair pointing inward and the isobutyl group arranged in a trans-position towards the cyclohexane backbone. The second nitrogen centre, however, can be described by a model that has the free electron pair pointing outwards in 75% of all molecules and inwards in the others.

Experimental top

The title compound (100 mg, 0.39 mmol) was diluted in n-pentane (2 ml). After cooling to -78 °C, clear crystals suitable for single-crystal x-ray studies were obtained. For synthesis of the title compound, see Kizirian et al. (2003).

Refinement top

H atoms were refined using a riding model in their ideal geometric positions with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for all other H atoms. H14 was located from the Fourier map and refined and its coordinates were refined freely yielding a C—H distance of 1.03 (3) Å. The Friedel pairs were not merged and the Flack parameter (Flack, 1983) yielded an indeterminate value with large uncertainty (1(4)). The following distances were restrained using DFIX: C13b—N2 and N2—C13a at 1.43 Å, C14—C16b, C14—16a, C14—C15a and C14—C15b at 1.52 Å. For the description of the disorder, a splitting model was used which had the free electron pair at the nitrogen centre pointing outwards in 75% of all molecules and inwards in the others. Absolute structure: not determined in the present model. Absolute configuration: known from starting material.

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.
