(Received 13 August 2010; accepted 1 November 2010; online 6 November 2010)

In the title compound, C17H16O6, the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 54.95 (10)°. Only weak inter­molecular inter­actions are present in the crystal structure, viz. C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions involving one of the benzene rings.

Comment top

Liquid crystals play important role in technology. Among others, uniaxial calamitic (rod-like) nematic liquid crystals are active switching ingredients for the current LCD technology. A comparative study of physico-chemical and electro-optical properties of achiral calamitic liquid crystals which terminal, bridging and lateral alkoxy groups, with the corresponding alkyl group substituents has been carried out by Petrov (2002). It is well known that the terminal alkoxy substituent does not substantially affect the mesophase behaviour (Goodby et al., 1998). Methyl and propyl group derivatives with respect to the title compound, i. e. 4-methoxyphenyl 4-[(methoxycarbonyl)oxy]benzoate and 4-propoxyphenyl 4-[(methoxycarbonyl)oxy]benzoate, respectively, do not form liquid-crystal phase. On the other hand, the title compound with the ethyl group forms a stable nematic phase (Castellano et al., 1971). With this background, we have synthesized the title compound, 4-ethoxyphenyl 4-[(methoxycarbonyl)oxy]benzoate, and herein we report its crystal structure.

The asymmetric unit of the 4-ethoxyphenyl 4-[(methoxycarbonyl)oxy] benzoate, C17H16O6, contains just one molecule (Fig. 1). The two aromatic rings are non-coplanar; the interplanar angle between the two benzene rings (C3\C4\···\C8) and (C10\C11\···C15) equals to 54.95 (10)°. There are only weak intermolecular interactions in the structure: C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Tab. 1) as well as one C—H···π-ring electron ring interaction (Tab. 1). The packing of the molecules in the title structure is depicted in Fig. 2.

Experimental top

The 4-ethoxyphenyl 4-[(methoxycarbonyl)oxy]benzoate was synthesized according to the procedure described by Castellano et al. (1971). The crude white material was subjected to column chromatography using 60–120 mesh silica gel with ethyl acetate (1 ml) and hexane (99 ml) as an eluent. The retention factor equalled to 0.84. Single crystals, suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis, were obtained by recrystallization from pure hexane at room temperature. The yield was about 85%. M.p. 356 K.

Spectral data IR (KBr) cm-1: 2924 and 2852(CH2 aliphatic), 1759(OC═O ester), 1732(C═O ester), 1604 (aryl C═C), 1462(CH aryl). Elemental analysis: Theor.: C 64.55%, H 5.10%; Found: C 65.01%, H 4.72%.

Refinement top

All the H atoms were observable in the difference electron density maps except for just one H from each triplet of the methyl H atoms. Nevertheless, the H atoms were situated into the idealized positions and constrained by the riding atom approximation. The constraints: Caryl—Haryl = 0.93, Cmethylene—Hmethylene = 0.97 and Cmethyl—Hmethyl = 0.96 Å. Uiso(Hmethyl) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl) or Uiso(Hmethylene/aryl) = 1.2Ueq(Cmethylene/aryl). In the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects, 1654 Friedel pairs were merged.

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.
