In the title compound, C18H21NO3, the oxazolidine ring adopts an with the N atom at the flap position. The two benzene rings make dihedral angles of 74.27 (14) and 73.26 (15)° with the mean plane through the oxazolidine ring. In the O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect adjacent molecules into chains along [010] incorporating R22(8) loops and further stabilization is provided by weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions.

An anhydrous methanol solution of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzyldehyde (1.52 g, 10 mmol) was added to an anhydrous methanol solution of 2-methylamino-1-phenylpropan-1-ol (1.65 g, 10 mmol) and the reaction mixture was refluxed and stirred at 350 K for 8 h. The product was isolated and recrystallized from methanol and dried in vacuo to give colourless blocks of (I) in 80 % yield, which were washed three times with ethyl acetate and dried in a vacuum desiccator using CaCl2.
Atom H1O1 was located from difference Fourier map and allowed to refine freely [O1—H1O1 = 0.92 (3) Å]. All other H atoms were placed in their calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 – 0.98 Å, and refined using a riding model, with Uiso = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.
4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyldehyde has been used as a chemical intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. This compound is a widely used flavouring compound in food and personal products. The synthesis of new design chemical entity is part of the aim to produce pharmaceutical substances because the compound in the literature shown remarkable biological activities, such as anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties (Fitzgerald et al., 2005; Kamat et al., 2000; Walton et al., 2003; Kumar et al., 2004). In this paper we report the full account of the structural data of the title oxazolidine compound, (I).
The title oxazolidine compound contains two aromatic phenyl rings bridged by an oxazolidine ring (Fig. 1). The oxazolidine ring with atom sequence C7/N1/C8/C9/O3 adopts an envolope conformation, with puckering parameters of Q = 0.421 (3) Å and φ = 73.7 (3)°. The N1 atom is at the envelope flap position and it deviates from the least-square plane through the remaining four atoms by 0.634 (2) Å. The mean plane through the oxazolidine ring inclines at dihedral angles of 74.27 (14) and 73.26 (15)°, respectively, with the C1-C6 and C10-C15 phenyl rings. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and consistent to a closely related oxazolidine structure (Duffy et al., 2004).
In the
(Fig. 2), adjacent molecules are connected by intermolecular O1—H1O1···O3 and C5—H5A···O1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into one-dimensional chains along the [010] direction incorporating R22(8) hydrogen bond ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). The is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C16—H16A···Cg1 interactions (Table 1) involving the centroid of the C10-C15 phenyl ring.For general background to and applications of the title oxazolidine compound, see: Fitzgerald et al. (2005); Kamat et al. (2000); Kumar et al. (2004); Walton et al. (2003). For graph-set descriptions of hydrogen-bond ring motifs, see: Bernstein et al. (1995).

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 120.0 (1)K. |
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyldehyde has been used as a chemical intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. This compound is a widely used flavouring compound in food and personal products. The synthesis of new design chemical entity is part of the aim to produce pharmaceutical substances because the compound in the literature shown remarkable biological activities, such as anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties (Fitzgerald et al., 2005; Kamat et al., 2000; Walton et al., 2003; Kumar et al., 2004). In this paper we report the full account of the structural data of the title oxazolidine compound, (I).
The title oxazolidine compound contains two aromatic phenyl rings bridged by an oxazolidine ring (Fig. 1). The oxazolidine ring with atom sequence C7/N1/C8/C9/O3 adopts an envolope conformation, with puckering parameters of Q = 0.421 (3) Å and φ = 73.7 (3)°. The N1 atom is at the envelope flap position and it deviates from the least-square plane through the remaining four atoms by 0.634 (2) Å. The mean plane through the oxazolidine ring inclines at dihedral angles of 74.27 (14) and 73.26 (15)°, respectively, with the C1-C6 and C10-C15 phenyl rings. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and consistent to a closely related oxazolidine structure (Duffy et al., 2004).
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), adjacent molecules are connected by intermolecular O1—H1O1···O3 and C5—H5A···O1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into one-dimensional chains along the [010] direction incorporating R22(8) hydrogen bond ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C16—H16A···Cg1 interactions (Table 1) involving the centroid of the C10-C15 phenyl ring.
