A solution of Cbz-protected TIQ–oxazoline (1.0 g, 2.89 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) was added to a suspension of 10 wt.% Pd/C (0.5 g) in methanol (10 ml). The reaction mixture was connected to an H2 source at atmospheric pressure and stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Completion of the reaction was monitored by TLC using hexane/ethyl acetate (7:3) with the Rf = 0.6. The Pd/C was filtered off over a celite pad and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford crude (I). The title compound was purified on a deactivated silica gel column packed with a suspension of silica gel in 20% Et3N/CH2Cl2. The silica was washed with 1% Et3N/CH2Cl2. The
was then performed using 0–2% MeOH/1%Et3N/CH2Cl2 as the to afford TIQ-oxazoline product.

All hydrogen atoms, except H1N on N1, were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.95 - 1.00 Å and refined as riding on their parent atoms with Uiso (H) = 1.2 - 1.5 Ueq (C). The hydrogen atoms H1N were located in the difference electron density maps and refined with simple bond length constraint.

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°, 30 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. |

Heterocyclic rings play roles in a number of key areas of organic and inorganic chemistry. As part of an ongoing study into the asymmetric hydrogen transfer reactions we made a series of ligands (Chakka et al., 2010). The title compound (I) is one such molecule (Fig 1). It combines for the first time two important heterocyclic rings into a single structure, namely oxazoline (Hargaden et al., 2009) and tetraisoquinoline (TIQ), (Scott et al., 2002). The asymmetric unit cell contains four molecules. There are inter-molecular N(1)—H···N(1) bond interactions (2.212 Å) that hold the structure in two dimensional planes. The intermolecular distance value between ring centroids in the b axis direction (5.402 Å), suggests that there is no π-stacking interaction between parallel molecules (Fig 2).
