The title compound has been prepared following the known procedure (Wang et al., 2006). A solution with equimolar amounts of 2,5-dibromo-1,4-bis(mercaptomethyl)benzene and 1,4-dibromomethyl-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene in degassed THF(500 mL) was added dropwise under N2 over 12 h to a refluxing solution of potassium carbonate(5 equiv) in EtOH(1.2L). After an additional 2 h at the reflux temperature, the mixture was cooled and the solvent were removed. The resulting residue was treated with CH2Cl2(300 mL) and water(300 mL). The organic phase was separated, the aqueous extracted with CH2Cl2 three times. The combined organic layers was dried over Na2SO4,then solvent was removed, and the resulting solid was chromatographed on silica gel using CH2Cl2/petroleum ether(1:1,v/v) as
The product was further purified by recrystallization from toluene.All H atoms were initially located in a difference map, but were constrained to an idealized geometry. Constrained bond lengths and isotropic displacement parameters: (C—H =0.93 Å) and Uiso(H) =1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms, and (C—H =0.97 Å) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for methylene, and (C—H =0.96 Å) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl.
As a contribution to a structural studies of paracyclophane compounds (Sun et al., 2008; Clément et al., 2009), we present here the
of the title compound (I).In (I) (Fig. 1), the distance between the centroids of two benzene rings is 3.326 (4) Å, and their mean planes are almost parallel forming a dihedral angle of 1.05 (7)°. The crystal packing exhibits no intermolecular contacts shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii

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. |

As a contribution to a structural studies of paracyclophane compounds (Sun et al., 2008; Clément et al., 2009), we present here the crystal structure of the title compound (I).
In (I) (Fig. 1), the distance between the centroids of two benzene rings is 3.326 (4) Å, and their mean planes are almost parallel forming a dihedral angle of 1.05 (7)°. The crystal packing exhibits no intermolecular contacts shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii
