The title compound, C15H13NO3, crystallizes with three independent molecules per (Z′ = 3). One of these molecules is found to have a configuration with a greater twist between its two aromatic rings than the other two [compare 70.26 (13) and 72.31 (12)° with 84.22 (12)°]. There are also differences in the number and nature of the weak intermolecular C—H⋯O contacts formed by each of the three molecules.

All reactions in the preparation of 2-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-1-nitroethene were performed under an atmosphere of nitrogen gas. 3.85 g, (18.16 mmol) of 4-benzyloxybenzaldehyde and 1.22 g of ammonium acetate (15.80 mmol) in nitromethane (100 ml) were heated at 343 K for 9 h. The solution was cooled and diluted with dichloromethane (54 ml), then washed with two 200 ml portions of saturated sodium chloride solution and then washed with of 200 ml distilled water. The resulting solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. Recrystallization of the crude produce from ethanol gave yellow crystals (3.84 g, 83%), Mp: 387–388 K.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined in riding modes with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). C—H distances 0.95 and 0.99 Å for CH and CH2 respectively.
One of the most serious threats to human health today is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS (UNAIDS/WHO, 2009). Most drugs used in AIDS treatment target the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). A class of compounds known as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) inhibits the ability of RT to transcribe by altering its structural and dynamic properties (Jones et al., 2006). In our research, (Hunter et al., 2008; Younis et al., 2010) N-[4-(2-prop-2-ynyloxyphenyl)ethyl]-N'-[2-(5-bromopyridyl)]thiourea, a phenylethylthiazolylthiourea analogue was the target NNRTI compound, using 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde as the starting material. In this paper, the
of a synthon of the target compound, namely 2-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-1-nitroethene, is described as determined by x-ray diffraction.The sample was recrystallized several times, and data collected from numerous crystals. Non-single-crystal samples were common and data quality tended to be low, however all data collections were consistant with that of the best quality structure found, as described below. The title compound was found to exist as discrete molecules (Figure 1), although there are some non-classical hydrogen bonding C—H···O interactions involving nitro and ether O atoms and H atoms from sp2 aromatic and vinylic C atoms, see Table 1. Unlike related compounds, the CH2 atoms do not act as hydrogen bond donors (Gerkin, 1999; Kennedy et al., 2010). The
contains three independent molecules (Figure 2). Two have similar configurations but the third, that with C atoms numbered C16 through to C30, is somewhat more twisted. This is shown by the angle between the least squares planes of the aromatic rings (compare 70.26 (13) and 72.31 (12) with 84.22 (12) °). Related vinyl substituted benzyloxyphenyl species are known to have both twisted (Wang et al., 2007; Zheng et al., 2008) and planar conformations (Gao et al., 2008; Stomberg & Lundquist, 1994) but in all cases, including the title complex, the vinyl group is coplanar with the attached aromatic ring. The three crystallographically independent molecules also differ from one another in the nature and number of their intermolecular contacts, Table 1. However, bond lengths and angles are in good agreement between the different configurations and with the related literature species.For discussion of C—H···O contacts in related derivatives, see: Gerkin (1999).

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. |

One of the most serious threats to human health today is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS (UNAIDS/WHO, 2009). Most drugs used in AIDS treatment target the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). A class of compounds known as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) inhibits the ability of RT to transcribe by altering its structural and dynamic properties (Jones et al., 2006). In our research, (Hunter et al., 2008; Younis et al., 2010) N-[4-(2-prop-2-ynyloxyphenyl)ethyl]-N'-[2-(5-bromopyridyl)]thiourea, a phenylethylthiazolylthiourea analogue was the target NNRTI compound, using 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde as the starting material. In this paper, the crystal structure of a synthon of the target compound, namely 2-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-1-nitroethene, is described as determined by x-ray diffraction.
The sample was recrystallized several times, and data collected from numerous crystals. Non-single-crystal samples were common and data quality tended to be low, however all data collections were consistant with that of the best quality structure found, as described below. The title compound was found to exist as discrete molecules (Figure 1), although there are some non-classical hydrogen bonding C—H···O interactions involving nitro and ether O atoms and H atoms from sp2 aromatic and vinylic C atoms, see Table 1. Unlike related compounds, the CH2 atoms do not act as hydrogen bond donors (Gerkin, 1999; Kennedy et al., 2010). The asymmetric unit contains three independent molecules (Figure 2). Two have similar configurations but the third, that with C atoms numbered C16 through to C30, is somewhat more twisted. This is shown by the angle between the least squares planes of the aromatic rings (compare 70.26 (13) and 72.31 (12) with 84.22 (12) °). Related vinyl substituted benzyloxyphenyl species are known to have both twisted (Wang et al., 2007; Zheng et al., 2008) and planar conformations (Gao et al., 2008; Stomberg & Lundquist, 1994) but in all cases, including the title complex, the vinyl group is coplanar with the attached aromatic ring. The three crystallographically independent molecules also differ from one another in the nature and number of their intermolecular contacts, Table 1. However, bond lengths and angles are in good agreement between the different configurations and with the related literature species.
