The compound 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzenyl)-imidazolidine -1-oxyl-3-oxide was prepared according to the method reported by Ullman et al. (1974). 2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-bis(hydroxylamino) butane (1.48 g, 10.0 mmol) and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde (1.96 g, 10.0 mmol) were dissolved in a methanol-water mixture (2:1), which was stirred for 5 h at reflux temperature, then cooled to room temperature and filtered. The white powder was washed by methanol. This product was dried under vaccum, then, it was suspended in dichloromethane (50.0 ml) and the water solution (30.0 ml) of NaIO4 (1.7 g) was added and stirred at ice bath for 20 min. The reaction mixture was extracted by dichloromethane (30.0 ml) for twice and the organic layer was combined and dried over Na2SO4. Then the solvent was removed to give a dark blue residue which was purified by a flash
(eluent, ether and petroleum ether, the ratio of volume is 2 to 1) to yield the title compound (I) as a dark blue powder. Single crystals of compound (I) were obtained from the mixed solution of n-heptane and dichloromethane (the ratio of volume is 1 to 1).All H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.96 Å (methyl) or 0.93 Å (aromatic) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(Caromatic) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).

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 title radical compound was obtained from the oxidation of 4,4,5,5- tetramethyl-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzenyl)-imidazolidine-1,3-diol, which was prepared by the condensation of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde with 2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-bis(hydroxyl-amino)butane. The title compound was used for coordination with many metal cations, such as Mn2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+, in order to form some molecule-based magnetic materials (Takui et al., 2009).
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig 1. Examination of bond length within the five membered rings shows an average structure as observed with related compounds (Cirujeda et al., 1995; Feher et al., 2008; Gao et al., 2009; Matsushita et al., 1997; Qin et al., 2009).
The imidazole and the phenyl rings are twisted with respect to each other making a dihedral angle of 26.2 (4)°. The imidazole ring has an half-chair conformation with puckering parameters O(2)=. 0.0275 (2)Å and ϕ= 233.0 (5)°(Cremer & Pople, 1975). The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H···π (Table 1, Cg2 is the centroid of the phenyl ring) and van der Waals interactions.
