In the title compound, C26H27NO4, a precursor to novel chiral catalysts, the N-containing six-membered ring assumes a half-boat conformation. Various C—H⋯π interactions and intermolecular short contacts (C⋯H = 2.81–2.90 Å) link the molecules together in the crystal structure.

To a solution of 1 (Scheme 1) (500 mg, 1.52 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 ml), solid K2CO3 (635 mg, 4.58 mmol) was added followed by benzyl bromide (286 mg, 1.67 mmol) at ambient temperature. There after the reaction mixture was refluxed for 3 h. Completion of the reaction was monitored with TLC using hexane/ethyl acetate (60:40, Rf 1/2). The solvent was evaporated and 30 ml of ethylacetate was added, washed with 2 × 10 ml of water, the organic layer was separated, and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford crude product, which was purified by
using hexane/ethyl acetate (60:40) as the to yield pure benzyl ester 2 (0.44 g, 90%) as a white solid.1H NMR (400 MHz/CDCl3): δ = 7.44 (d, J = 1.16 Hz, 2H), 7.32–7.10 (m, 14H), 7.0–6.88 (m, 6H), 6.69 (s, 1H), 6.38 (s, 1H), 4.74 (s,1H), 4.21 (d, J = 13.60 Hz, 1H), 4.14 (q, J = 3.70, 12.74 Hz, 1H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 3.72 (s, 3H), 3.57 (s, 1H), 3.30–3.18 (m, 2H), 2.60 (dd, J = 3.60, 16.48 Hz, 1H).
Colourless crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of 2 in dichloromethane at room temperature.
Hydrogen atoms, first located in the difference map, were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms, with C—H bond lengths of 1.00 (CH), 0.99 (CH2), 0.98 (CH3) or 0.93 (aromatic CH). They were then refined with a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(CH3) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(X) for X = CH or CH2. The largest residual electron density peak of 0.16 e/Å3 is 0.86 Å from O4.

Experimental. Half sphere of data collected using SAINT strategy (Bruker, 2006). Crystal to detector distance = 50 mm; combination of ϕ and ω scans of 0.5°, 80 s per °, 2 iterations. |
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 compound (2, Scheme 1) is a precursor in the synthesis of novel chiral ligands containing a tetrahydroisoquinoline backbone. We have recently reported the use of these ligands as successful catalysts for transfer hydrogenations reactions (Chakka et al., 2009).
Compound 2 was derived from commercially available L-DOPA and benzaldehyde. Diastereomers formed during the first step of the synthesis were separated to yield subsequent derivatives and the title compound and with the stereochemistry as illustrated in Figure 1. The absolute stereochemistry was confirmed to be R,S at C1 and C9 positions respectively.
From the crystal structure it is evident that the N-containing six membered ring assumes a half boat conformation (Figure 1). This differs from an analogous structure which assumes a half chair conformation (Aubry et al., 2006 and Alberch et al., 2004). A possible reason for this change in conformation could be either the introduction of a substitutent on the nitrogen or the trans position of the phenyl ring at the C1 position.
The molecule exhibits various intermolecular short contacts i.e. between the methyl ester hydrogen (H11C) and phenyl ring (C14) of a neighbouring molecule; H15 to C6 and C7 and H24 to C14 and C15.
The methoxy groups display different interactions. The first methoxy group at C4 position displays one interaction between H18B and O2, which is the ether oxygen of the other methoxy group. The second methoxy group at C5 position displays three interactions; the first being the above mentioned interaction with H18B and O2, the second being a short contact between O2 and H25, and the third being another CH-π the interaction between H19A and C25. The atoms involved in these short contacts are shown in Figure 2.
