(Received 12 November 2010; accepted 1 December 2010; online 11 December 2010)

The structure of the title compound, C18H20N2O, at 173 K has hexa­gonal (P61) symmetry. The N-containing six-membered ring assumes a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding via the amide groups cross-link the mol­ecules along the a axis. The absolute configuration was confirmed by 2D NMR studies.

Comment top

The title compound (Fig. 1) is a precursor in the synthesis of novel chiral ligands involving a tetrahydroisoquinoline backbone. Recently, we have reported the application of these ligands as useful catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of prochiral ketones (Chakka et al., 2009), Henry reactions, hydrogenation of olefins (Peters et al. 2010) and Diels-Alder reactions (Naicker et al., 2010a).

Compound 1 was derived from commercially available S-phenyl glycine and formaldehyde. The absolute stereochemistry was confirmed to be S at the C9 position from proton NMR spectroscopy. (Peters et al. 2010).

From the crystal structure it is evident that the N-containing six membered ring assumes a half chair conformation (Fig. 1), in which the 1—N1—C9—C8 bond has a torsion angle of 68.7 (3)°. This observation is similar to analogous structures that we have reported recently (Chakka et al., 2010) and (Naicker et al., 2010b).

The molecule exhibits intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which involves the atom O1 which links the molecules together see Table 1 and Fig. 2.

Experimental top

(S)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (1.5 g, 7.8 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (15 ml) followed by addition of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) hydrochloride (8.8 mmol), hydroxybenzotriazole (0.81 g, 8.3 mmol), a catalytic amount of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and benzyl amine (8.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature until no more starting material could be detected by TLC analysis (approximately 1 h). The reaction mixture was poured into 30 volumes of chilled water; the mixture was then extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The extracts were combined, washed with 5% HCl (aq) to remove latent EDC urea, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated to dryness affording the crude product which was purified by column chromatography.

Melting point 91–95 oC. [α]20D -7.93 (c 0.21 in CHCl3).

IR (neat) nmax: 3281, 2923, 1646, 1548, 1454, 1240, 739, 696 cm-1.

1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ = 2.78 (d, 3H), 3.12 (m, 2), 3.52 (t, 1H), 3.66 (m, 3H), 3.78 (d, 1H), 6.99 (d, 1H), 7.19 (m, 3H), 7.30 (m, 6H)

Recrystallization from EtOAc afforded colourless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.

Refinement top

All hydrogen atoms on carbons were positioned geometrically with C—H distances ranging from 0.95 Å to 1.00 Å and refined as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso (H) = 1.2 - 1.5 Ueq (C). The position of amine hydrogen H2 was located in the difference electron density maps and refined with simple bond length constraints. The Flack x parameter is -0.5 (15) without merging Friedel pairs, so Friedel pairs were merged at the final refinement.

Special details top

Experimental. Half sphere of data collected using SAINT strategy (Bruker, 2006). Crystal to detector distance = 40 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.
