The title compound was synthesised in a similar manner to published methods (Reddy et al. 1994, 1995). The compound was obtained as light yellow, single crystalline flakes from the worked-up diethylether layer. The diethylether layer was concentrated and kept at -20 °C for 1-3 days. The supernatant was removed from the crystalline flakes and placed back in the freezer for further crystallisation. 86% yield. Mp 95-96 °C.
The H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (Ar-H) or 0.96 (CH3) Å, and with Ueq = 1.2 (Ar-H) or 1.5 (CH3)Ueq(C).
Crystals of the title compound (Fig. 1) are found to be monoclinic, crystallising in the
P21/c. Crystals of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) show similar characteristics; it is monoclinic and crystallises in the spacegroup P21/n (Pelizzi et al., 1979). The title compound has four molecules per compared to two in dppe; the latter has a centre of symmetry at the mid-point of the C(sp3)—C(sp3) bond.Dppe was shown to adopt a
whereas the title compound has a conformation. This conformation adopted by hydrazine has been well documented and studied both experimentally and by ab anitio molecular modelling (Cowley et al., 1979). It was found that the ground-state geometry of hydrazine is gauche, with a dihedral angle close to 90°. Ab initio theoretical estimates of the gauche-anti and gauche-syn barrier heights fall in the ranges 1.6-6.2 and 9.7-13.7 kcal/mol, respectively. In hydrazine, the relative stability of the conformations are gauche > anti > syn (Cowley et al., 1979). The planar conformation of dppe allows it to form stacks of molecules; this is not possible for the title compound.Bond lengths and angles are in the typical ranges expected for P—N and P—C bonds (Reddy et al., 1994). A normal hydrazine N—N bond length of 1.426 (3) Å is observed.

Experimental. 1HNMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δH 7.54 (bs, Arom, 4H) 7.36 (bs, Arom, 4H), 7.26 (m, Arom, 12H), 3.73 and 3.23(m, CH2CH3,4H), 0.79 (t, CH2CH3,3J (1H-1H) = 7.0 Hz, 6H). 13C NMR (CDCl3, 75 MHz) δC 140.2 (m, Arom), 133.4 (m, Arom), 131.4 (s, Arom), 128.7(s, Arom), 48.7 (t, CH2CH3, 2J (13C-31P) = 2.5 Hz), 14.3 (d, CH2CH3, 3J (13C-31P) = 4.1 Hz). 31P NMR (CDCl3,162 MHz) δP 63.4. MS 427 (9%, M – 1). Intensity data were collected on a Bruker SMART1K CCD area detector diffractometer with graphite monochromated Mo Kα radiation (40kV, 40mA). The collection method involved ω-scans of width 0.3°. |
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. |

Crystals of the title compound (Fig. 1) are found to be monoclinic, crystallising in the space group P21/c. Crystals of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) show similar characteristics; it is monoclinic and crystallises in the spacegroup P21/n (Pelizzi et al., 1979). The title compound has four molecules per unit cell compared to two in dppe; the latter has a centre of symmetry at the mid-point of the C(sp3)—C(sp3) bond.
Dppe was shown to adopt a staggered conformation, whereas the title compound has a gauche conformation. This gauche conformation adopted by hydrazine has been well documented and studied both experimentally and by ab anitio molecular modelling (Cowley et al., 1979). It was found that the ground-state geometry of hydrazine is gauche, with a dihedral angle close to 90°. Ab initio theoretical estimates of the gauche-anti and gauche-syn barrier heights fall in the ranges 1.6-6.2 and 9.7-13.7 kcal/mol, respectively. In hydrazine, the relative stability of the conformations are gauche > anti > syn (Cowley et al., 1979). The planar conformation of dppe allows it to form stacks of molecules; this is not possible for the title compound.
Bond lengths and angles are in the typical ranges expected for P—N and P—C bonds (Reddy et al., 1994). A normal hydrazine N—N bond length of 1.426 (3) Å is observed.
