(S)-methyl 6,7-dimethoxy-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylate (1.30 g, 3.7 mmol) was dissolved in dry methylene chloride (50 ml). Potassium carbonate (1.0 g, 7.5 mmol) was added and the reaction cooled to -78 °C. Meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (0.86 g of 75% pure, net 0.65 g, 3.7 mmol) was then added, and the reaction was allowed to stir at -78 °C for 3 h. At this time, the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature. After stirring for a further 2 h at room temperature, methylene chloride (50 ml) was added to dilute the reaction and celite (500 mg) was added to aid filtration. The reaction was filtered, and the methylene chloride concentrated to dryness affording the crude product which was purified by
(methylene chloride:methanol, 99:1, Rf = 1/5) (1.20 g, 87% yield).Melting point 423 K. [α]20D 5.128 (c 0.13 in CHCl3).

Recrystallization from ethyl acetate at room temperature afforded colourless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. The hydrogen atoms were placed in idealized positions in a riding model with Uiso set at 1.2 or 1.5 times those of their parent atoms (1.2 for tertiary C—H, secondary C—H2 and aromatic C—H or N—H groups and 1.5 for methyl C—H3) and fixed C—H bond lengths(e.g. 0.88 Å for N—H and others ranging from 0.95 Å to 1.00 Å).

Experimental. Half sphere of data collected using COLLECT strategy (Nonius, 2000). Crystal to detector distance = 30 mm; combination of ϕ and ω scans of 1.0°, 40 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. |

The title compound is a novel N-oxide based catalyst containing a tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) backbone. This is the first X-ray crystal structure report of this type of organocatalyst within this TIQ class of molecules. This compound and its derivatives are currently being tested in our laboratory as novel organocatalysts for asymmetric allylation reactions (Naicker et al. 2010).
From the crystal structure it is evident that the N-containing six membered ring assumes a twisted half chair conformation (Fig. 1). This differs from a similar structure that we recently reported which displays a twisted half boat conformation (Naicker et al. 2011). A possible reason for the change is the introduction of the oxygen atom O2 onto the sp2 hybridized nitrogen atom. All our previous examples have either a hydrogen or methyl group at that position.
Interestingly there is no classic hydrogen bonding within the crystal packing however, there are various intermolecular and intramolecular short contact interactions that link the molecules together within the crystal lattice. The N-oxide oxygen O2 displays two potential hydrogen bond interactions to C16—H16 and C20A—H20A which are 3.36 Å and 3.34 Å respectively. These interactions result in a layered packing within the crystal stucture as shown along the (100) axis in Fig. 2. A centroid distance of 7.156 Å indicated that there is no π-π stacking within the crystal matrix.
