(Received 21 April 2010; accepted 19 May 2010; online 22 May 2010)

In the title compound, C12H14O4·H2O, the dihydro­benzo­furan ring adopts an envelope conformation with the substituted C atom 0.142 (1) Å out of the least-squares plane. In the crystal, the components are linked via inter­molecular Owater—H⋯O and O—H⋯Owater hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

2-(2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yloxy)acetic acid monohydrate (I), C12H14O4.H2O, is a derivative of commercially available Carbofuran which is a carbamate-based insecticide (Xu et al., 2005; Li, et al., 2009), Herein we report the synthesis and structure of the title compound.

The dihedral angle between the plane C7—C3—C2—O1 and the plane C8—O1—C7 is 23.20 (14)°, which indicates that the dihydrobenzofuran ring is in an envelope conformation (Fig. 1). Its substituted C8 atom is 0.142 (1) Å out of the least-squares plane defined by O1, C2, C3, C7 and C8. In the crystal structure, intermolecular Owater—H···O and and O—H···Owater hydrogen bonds link organic molecules and water molecules into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

0.10 mol 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ol , 0.12 mol chloroacetic acid, 0.25 mol sodium hydroxide and 70 ml water were stirred and heated under reflux for 3 h. Then the reaction mixture was cooled to 283 K and 15 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to give 2-(2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yloxy)acetic acid hydrate as amber solid of 21.91 g, yield 98.5%. Single colourless crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl acetate solution at room temperature over a period of nine days.

Refinement top

All H atoms except for the water H atoms were refined in the riding-model approximation, with C—H distances of 0.98 Å (methyl), 0.95Å (aromatic) and 0.99Å (methylene), and with Uiso(H)=1.5 or 1.2Ueq(carrier). The water H atoms were located in Fourier syntheses. Their positions were refined with distance restraints of 0.85 (2) Å, with Uiso(H) values set equal to 1.5Ueq(O). The carboxylate proton was placed in a calculated position.

Special details top

Experimental. 1H NMR (CDCl3,300 MHz), delta: 1.50(s, 6H, 2CH3), 3.03(s,2H,CH2), 4.71(s,2H,OCH2), 6.74~6.83(m, 2H,ArH), 6.84~6.87(m,1H,ArH).

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 > 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.
