The title compound, C14H21BrO3, comprises a seven- (C7) and three six-membered (1 × O2C4 and 2 × C6) rings, and each adopts a conformation based on a chair. Stability to the molecular structure is afforded by an intramolecular O—H⋯Br hydrogen bond. In the molecules are arranged into a helical supramolecular chain along the b axis, linked by C—H⋯O interactions, where the O-atom acceptor is one of the dioxane O atoms. The crystal studied was found to be a racemic twin. The major component was present 94% of the time.

Referring to the reaction scheme shown in Fig. 1, to a stirred solution of 1 (200 mg, 0.91 mmol) in acetone (5 ml) was added water (180 mg, 10 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimde (219 mg, 1.23 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature until TLC indicated complete consumption of starting material (ca 3 h). The reaction was then diluted with CH2Cl2 (50 ml), washed with sat. NaHCO3 solution (2 x 20 ml), and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was removed in vacuo yielding a crude multi-component mixture which was purified by flash
eluting with 3:1 CH2Cl2/hexane. Fractions of interest (Rf 0.20 in 3:1 CH2Cl2/hexane) were combined and concentrated giving a solid white residue, which was recrystallized from a slowly evaporating a 1:1 mixture of dichloromethane/heptane producing the title compound (I) as colourless needles.Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.98–0.99 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation with Uiso(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C). The O–bound H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map and was refined with an O–H restraint of 0.840±0.001 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The structure was refined as a racemic twin precluding the determination of the absolute structure.Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2000); cell

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

Endoperoxides comprise a diverse range of compounds often displaying interesting biological activities (Casteel, 1999; Tang et al., 2004). Recently, we investigated the potential of simple 1,2-dioxines and epoxy-1,2-dioxanes as novel antimalarial (Taylor et al., 2004; Crespo et al., 2008) and antifungal (Macreadie et al., 2006; Avery et al., 2007; Macreadie et al., 2008) agents. During the course of these studies other modified 1,2-dioxines were prepared, particularly by electrophilic additions to the alkene unit, which included halo-hydrins (Robinson, 2003). The title compound (I) was obtained as a minor product from the attempted bromo-hydrin addition to compound 1, presumably through carbocation migration (Fig. 1).
The molecular structure of (I), Fig. 2, features a close intramolecular O–H···Br hydrogen bond as both substituents lie to the same side of the molecule, Table 1. This interaction closes a six-membered {···HOC3Br} ring with a half-chair conformation. The six-membered O2C4 ring has a twisted chair conformation and the bromide occupies an axial position. The two six-membered C6 rings share the C7, C11, and C12 atoms, and each has a slightly twisted chair conformation. The hydroxyl group occupies a bisectional position relative to the ring to which it is connected. Finally, the seven-membered ring comprising the C1,C5–C10 atoms has a distorted chair conformation with the C5 and C8 atoms occupying positions above and below the plane defined by the remaining five atoms. In the crystal structure, the primary intermolecular interactions are of the type C—H···O, Table 1. The dioxane-O1 atom forms two close C—H···O contacts to form a supramolecular helical chain aligned along [010], Fig. 3 and Table 1.
