In the title compound, C14H13ClO5, the five-membered ring is in an with the methylene C-atom being the flap. The conformation about the C=C double bond [1.341 (2) Å] is E. The chloropropan-2-one residue is approximately orthogonal to the remaining molecule [dihedral angle = 88.03 (6)°]. In the crystal, the molecules associate via C—H⋯O interactions, involving both carbonyl-O atoms, giving rise to an undulating two-dimensional array in the ac plane.

The title compound, (I), was prepared by means of a Knoevenagel condensation reaction between ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate and piperonal. Morpholine (17.4 mg, 0.2 mmol), glacial acetic acid (12.0 mg, 0.2 mmol) and piperonal (300 mg, 2 mmol) were added to [Bmim][NTf2] (1 ml) in a 10 ml round-bottom flask. The mixture was stirred for 10 min., and then ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate (395 mg, 2.4 mmol) and 4 Å molecular sieves (360 mg) were added to reaction mixture. After 1.5 h, the ionic liquid layer was extracted with diethyl ether (3 x 5 ml), the ether was evaporated to afford a mixture of E and Z isomers that were separated by
(hexane/ethyl acetate, gradient from pure hexane to 95% hexane/5% ethyl acetate). The crystallized isomer, obtained by slow evaporation from a dichloromethane/hexane mixture, was shown by crystallography to be the E isomer; M.pt. 367.1–367.4 K.Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 to 0.97 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(methyl-C).Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 the continuing interest in the bio-reduction of α-haloketones and enones (Rodrigues et al., 2004) the title compound, ethyl (2E)-2-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethylidene)-4- chloro-3-oxobutanoate, (I), was synthesized by means of a Knoevenagel condensation reaction between ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate and piperonal, affording a mixture of E and Z isomers that were separated by column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate, gradient from pure hexane to 95% hexane/5% ethyl acetate).
The conformation of the five-membered ring in (I) is an envelope with the methylene-C1 atom being the flap. This is quantified by the ring puckering parameters Q(2) = 0.1016 (14) Å and ϕ2 = 38.4 (8) ° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). The conformation about the C8═C9 double bond [1.341 (2) Å] is E. With the exception of the chloropropan-2-one residue which projects to one side of the molecule, (I) is approximately flat. The major twist in the molecule occurs around the C5—C8 bond as seen in the value of the C4—C5—C8—C9 torsion angle of 165.21 (16) °. The carbonyl and chlorido atoms of the chloropropan-2-one residue lie in a plane with the C3 backbone. This plane is orthogonal to the main residue with the dihedral angle between the least-squares plane through the O3,C9—C11,Cl1 atoms and that through the C8,C9,C12 atoms being 88.03 (6) °. Both heteroatoms project away from the main residue.
The two most prominent interactions operating in the crystal structure are of the type C—H···O, Table 1. The shortest interaction occurs between symmetry related carbonyl-O and methylene-H atoms of the chloropropan-2-one residues leading to a chain along the a direction. The other C—H···O interaction occurs between the ester-carbonyl-O and the methylene-H of the benzodioxole residue. Overall, the resulting supramolecular architecture is a 2-D array in the ac plane, Fig. 2. The topology is undulating as seen from Fig. 3.
