The structure of the title compound, C13H14O2, a pentacycloundecane cage derivative, exhibits unusual Csp3—Csp3 single-bond lengths ranging from 1.505 (3) to 1.607 (2) Å and strained bond angles as small as 88.7 (1)° and as large as 121.0 (2)°. In this meso compound, an internal non-crystallographic mirror plane exists, bisecting the molecule. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into an infinite spiral about a twofold screw axis along the [100] direction.

In a 250 ml round-bottomed flask covered with tin foil was placed 2,3-dimethyl hydroquinone (4.00 g, 0.03 mmol), sodium chlorate (1.73 g, 0.01 mmol), 2% H2SO4 (36 ml) and 50 mg of vanadium pentoxide (catalyst). The mixture was stirred overnight, and the product, 2,3-dimethylbenzoquinone, was extracted with dichloromethane, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the filterate concentrated in vacuo to obtain 3.00 g (76%). To a vigorously stirring solution of the dried product (3.00 g, 0.02 mmol) in toluene (12 ml) cooled to 273 K, freshly cracked cyclopentadiene (1.67 g, 0.025 mmol) was added. The mixture was kept at 273 K for 4 h, after which the solution was allowed to attain ambient temperature over night. The solution was poured into an evaporating dish and placed in a fumehood to evaporate the toluene, yielding the adduct as a crude brown oil (4.20 g). Without further purification, the material was dissolved in ethyl acetate and exposed to sunlight until a clear solution was obtained (two weeks). The solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain a crude product, which was purified on silica gel, using a mobile phase of 6:4 hexane/ethyl acetate. The title compound was obtained as a pure white crystalline solid (3.20 g, 72%), mp 381–382 K. 1H NMR [CDCl3, 400 MHz]: δ = 0.99 (s, 6 H, CH3), 1.85 (d, 1 H, J= 11.2 Hz, CH2), 1.99 (d, 1 H, J= 11.1 Hz, CH2), 2.68 (s, 2 H, CH), 2.73 (s, 2 H, CH), 2.81 (s, 2 H, CH). 13C NMR [CDCl3, 100 MHz]: δ = 11.4 (q), 41.1 (t), 43.3 (d), 44.2 (d), 54.7 (d), 213.8 (s). IR (ATR): 2958, 1741, 1453,1282, 1073, 1023, 903, 869, 660 and 457 cm-1. Colourless prisms of (I) were grown by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in methanol, at ambient temperature. The synthesis is summarised in Fig. 3.
The locations of the hydrogen atoms were found in a difference map and then positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms, with C—H bond lengths of 1.00 (CH), 0.99 (CH2), or 0.98 (CH3). They were then refined with a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(CH3) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(X) for X = CH or CH2. When the data were unmerged, the Flack
parameter refined to -0.07 with s.u. 0.25. Because of the large s.u., in the final the Friedel pairs were merged.As part of an ongoing study of the crystal structures and chemical reactivity of polycyclic pentacycloundecane (PCU) cage derivatives, the structure of the title compound, (I), was obtained (Scheme 1). Although the compound is known (Mehta et al., 1981), its
has not been reported. Previous studies showed that PCU cage derivatives normally display C—C bond lengths which deviate from the expected value of 1.54 Å (see related literature). Similar phenomneon on the C—C bond lengths for this structure is observed, as the lengths of 17 Csp3—Csp3 single bonds range from 1.505 (3) Å to 1.607 (2) Å, with the bond between C10—C13 being the shortest, while that between C5—C10 is the longest (see Table 1). The labelling scheme and molecular structure is presented in Figure 1. The atoms C5, C6, C11 and C10 form a slightly irregular square with r.m.s. deviation of fitted atoms 0.0007 Å and is a very strained system. The tetrahedral bond angles around C10 are the most strained with the smallest angle of 88.7 (1)° (C5—C10—C11) and the biggest angle of 121.0 (2)° (C11—C10—C13), deviating from the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.5°. Other selected carbon atoms, which define the cage conformation and which are coplanar with r.m.s. deviation of the fitted atoms smaller than 0.01 Å, are the following (with r.m.s. deviation of the fitted atoms in bracket): C10, C5, C4 and C9 (0.0034 Å); C4, C9, C8 and C3 (0.0010 Å); C3, C8, C7 and C2 (0.0019 Å); C2, C7, C11 and C6 (0.0004 Å). In the molecule of this compound an internal mirror plane exists, bisecting C1 and the middle points of bonds C8—C3, C11—C6 and C10—C5. We noted a number of weak hydrogen bonds of the type C—H···O=C presented in this structure (Desiraju et al., 1999) (see Table 2). The molecules form a infinite right-hand spiral about a two fold screw-axis along the [100] direction via hydrogen bond C3—H3···O2 (see Figure 2).For related literature and examples of PCU cage structures exhibiting C—C bond lengths that deviate from the norm, see: Flippen-Anderson et al.

Experimental. Half sphere of data collected using COLLECT strategy (Nonius, 2000). Crystal to detector distance = 30 mm; combination of φ and ω scans of 0.5°, 40 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. |

As part of an ongoing study of the crystal structures and chemical reactivity of polycyclic pentacycloundecane (PCU) cage derivatives, the structure of the title compound, (I), was obtained (Scheme 1). Although the compound is known (Mehta et al., 1981), its crystal structure has not been reported. Previous studies showed that PCU cage derivatives normally display C—C bond lengths which deviate from the expected value of 1.54 Å (see related literature). Similar phenomneon on the C—C bond lengths for this structure is observed, as the lengths of 17 Csp3—Csp3 single bonds range from 1.505 (3) Å to 1.607 (2) Å, with the bond between C10—C13 being the shortest, while that between C5—C10 is the longest (see Table 1). The labelling scheme and molecular structure is presented in Figure 1. The atoms C5, C6, C11 and C10 form a slightly irregular square with r.m.s. deviation of fitted atoms 0.0007 Å and is a very strained system. The tetrahedral bond angles around C10 are the most strained with the smallest angle of 88.7 (1)° (C5—C10—C11) and the biggest angle of 121.0 (2)° (C11—C10—C13), deviating from the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.5°. Other selected carbon atoms, which define the cage conformation and which are coplanar with r.m.s. deviation of the fitted atoms smaller than 0.01 Å, are the following (with r.m.s. deviation of the fitted atoms in bracket): C10, C5, C4 and C9 (0.0034 Å); C4, C9, C8 and C3 (0.0010 Å); C3, C8, C7 and C2 (0.0019 Å); C2, C7, C11 and C6 (0.0004 Å). In the molecule of this meso compound an internal mirror plane exists, bisecting C1 and the middle points of bonds C8—C3, C11—C6 and C10—C5. We noted a number of weak hydrogen bonds of the type C—H···O=C presented in this structure (Desiraju et al., 1999) (see Table 2). The molecules form a infinite right-hand spiral about a two fold screw-axis along the [100] direction via hydrogen bond C3—H3···O2 (see Figure 2).
