The title compound, C14H15NO4, was prepared by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition from N-(ethoxycarbonylmethy)pyridinium bromide and ethyl acrylate. The –CO2 side chains form dihedral angles of 0.2 (3) and 2.4 (3)° with respect to the ring system. In the crystal, two neighbouring molecules form a dimer through weak C—H⋯O interactions. The dimers form a three-dimensional structure via further weak C—H⋯O interactions.

Diethyl indolizine-1,3-dicarboxylate was prepared in 24% yield by a 1,3-dipolar
from N-(ethoxycarbonylmethy)pyridinium bromide and ethyl acrylate in the presence of NEt3 and CrO3 in DMF according to a procedure described in the literature (Wang, et al., 2000). Colorless crystals were obtained by recrystallization of the crude product from ethyl acetate at room temperature.1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ: 1.41 (2xt, 6H, 2x-COOCH2CH3), 4.38 (2xq, 4H, 2x-COOCH2CH3), 6.97 (ddd, 1H, H6), 7.31 (ddd, 1H, H7), 8.00 (s, 1H, H2), 8.34 (dd, 1H, H8), 9.53 (dd, 1H, H5).
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model (including
about the ethyl C—C bond), with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq(C).Indolizine and their derivatives have been comprehensively applied in biology and medicine due to their particular structures and pharmaceutical properties (Tukulula et al., 2010; James et al., 2008; Teklu et al., 2005). They can also be used as organic fluorescence probes (Shen et al., 2008; Shen et al., 2006). In our continuing studies on organic fluorescence probes, we synthesized diethyl indolizine-1,3-dicarboxylate, the title compound, (I).
The
of the title compound, C14H15NO4, reveals that all the bond lengths and angles have normal values. As shown in Fig. 1, the molecule is essentially planar. All atoms of the molecule locate on the same least-squares plane (6.9517(0.0017)X + 8.0272(0.0048)Y - 3.7352(0.0022)Z = 3.8065 (0.0031)), and the r.m.s. deviation of fitted atoms is 0.0479 (3) Å. The crystal packing is established by weak C—H···O interactions. Two neighbouring molecules form a dimer via the weak hydrogen bond C2—H2···O4i (i: 1 - x,1 - y,2 - z) (Fig. 2) with a distance between C2 and O4 of 3.257 (3) Å. Furthermore, the dimers are interconnected to form a 3-D structure by the weak interaction C3—H3···O2ii (ii: x,1.5 - y,1/2 + z) (Fig. 3) with a distance of 3.272 (3)Å between C3 and O2.For synthetic procedures, see: Teklu et al.

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.

Indolizine and their derivatives have been comprehensively applied in biology and medicine due to their particular structures and pharmaceutical properties (Tukulula et al., 2010; James et al., 2008; Teklu et al., 2005). They can also be used as organic fluorescence probes (Shen et al., 2008; Shen et al., 2006). In our continuing studies on organic fluorescence probes, we synthesized diethyl indolizine-1,3-dicarboxylate, the title compound, (I).
The crystal structure of the title compound, C14H15NO4, reveals that all the bond lengths and angles have normal values. As shown in Fig. 1, the molecule is essentially planar. All atoms of the molecule locate on the same least-squares plane (6.9517(0.0017)X + 8.0272(0.0048)Y - 3.7352(0.0022)Z = 3.8065 (0.0031)), and the r.m.s. deviation of fitted atoms is 0.0479 (3) Å. The crystal packing is established by weak C—H···O interactions. Two neighbouring molecules form a dimer via the weak hydrogen bond C2—H2···O4i (i: 1 - x,1 - y,2 - z) (Fig. 2) with a distance between C2 and O4 of 3.257 (3) Å. Furthermore, the dimers are interconnected to form a 3-D structure by the weak interaction C3—H3···O2ii (ii: x,1.5 - y,1/2 + z) (Fig. 3) with a distance of 3.272 (3)Å between C3 and O2.
