The imidazolidine ring in the title compound, C17H18Cl2N2O2, adopts a twist conformation. The observed conformation is stabilized by two intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, with both N atoms acting as hydrogen-bond acceptors. The phenyl substituents are aligned at 70.0 (1) and 76.6 (1)° with respect to the best plane through the five atoms of the imidazolidine ring. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions stabilize the crystal packing.

All H atoms could be located in a difference Fourier synthesis. Nevertheless, H atoms were refined as riding with H bonded to O at the positions where they were found and C–H distances of 0.93 Å for aromatic H and C–H = 0.97Å for methylene groups. All H atoms were refined with displacement coefficients Uiso(H) set to 1.5Ueq(O) for hydroxyl groups and to 1.2Ueq(C) for the CH– and CH2– groups.
In connection with our synthetic studies on
we earlier synthesized a series of di-Mannich bases named 2,2'-(imidazolidine-1,3-diyldimethanediyl)bis(4-substitutedphenol) by reaction of appropriate with 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (Rivera et al., 1993). They are promising synthetic intermediates for the synthesis of tetrahydrosalens (Rivera, Quevedo, Navarro & Maldonado, 2004) and heterocalixarenes (Rivera & Quevedo, 2004), which find wide use in both medicine and metal-complex catalysis (Balsells & Walsh, 2000; Weber et al. 1996). These Mannich bases are convenient models for studying the nature of hydrogen bonding and weak noncovalent interactions, which play a key role in biological processes and design of complex structures.We report here the structure of the title compound (I) (Fig. 1), which was prepared according to the previously reported procedure (Rivera et al., 1993) but using the intriguing aminal 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.3.1.13,8]undecane.

The has two intramolecular hydrogen bonds and three C—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1). The contains four molecules of the title compound (I), which form pairs of hydrogen bonded dimers (Table 1, Figs. 2). Neighboring pairs of these dimers are orthogonally arranged with respect to each other. Lattice binding is provided principally by C—H···O interactions, shown in Figure 2. The chains, aligned along the c axis, are further linked together via cross-linking weaker C—H···O interactions (Table 1).

Distances and angles are similar to those observed before in the closely related structure 4,4'-dichloro-2,2'-[(3aR,7aR/3aS,7aS)-2,3,3a,4,5,6,7,7a-octahydro-1H-1,3-benzimidazole-1,3-diyl)bis(methylene)]diphenol (Rivera et al., 2010).

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 H atoms were all located in a difference map, but those attached to carbon atoms were repositioned geometrically. The isotropic temperature parameters of hydrogen atoms were calculated as 1.2*Ueq of the parent atom. The distance between hydrogen and oxygen atom in hydroxyl group was fixed to the distance 0.87 Å. |

In connection with our synthetic studies on heterocyclic compounds we earlier synthesized a series of di-Mannich bases named 2,2'-(imidazolidine-1,3-diyldimethanediyl)bis(4-substitutedphenol) by reaction of appropriate phenols with 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (Rivera et al., 1993). They are promising synthetic intermediates for the synthesis of tetrahydrosalens (Rivera, Quevedo, Navarro & Maldonado, 2004) and heterocalixarenes (Rivera & Quevedo, 2004), which find wide use in both medicine and metal-complex catalysis (Balsells & Walsh, 2000; Weber et al. 1996). These Mannich bases are convenient models for studying the nature of hydrogen bonding and weak noncovalent interactions, which play a key role in biological processes and design of complex structures.
We report here the structure of the title compound (I) (Fig. 1), which was prepared according to the previously reported procedure (Rivera et al., 1993) but using the intriguing aminal 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.3.1.13,8]undecane. Recrystallization from methanol by slow evaporation over a period of one week affording crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
The asymmetric unit of (I), Fig 1, contains one independent 2,2'-(imidazolidine-1,3-diylbis(methylene))bis(4-chlorophenol) molecule. Distances and angles are similar to those observed before in the closely related structure 4,4'-dichloro-2,2'-[(3aR,7aR/3aS,7aS)-2,3,3a,4,5,6,7,7a-octahydro-1H-1,3-benzimidazole-1,3-diyl)bis(methylene)]diphenol (Rivera et al., 2010). The imidazolidine ring is in a twist conformation on C1–N2 with Q(2) 0.402 (2) Å and φ 52.7 (2)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). Its central ring makes an angle of 70.0 (1)° and 76.6 (1)° with the planar phenyl rings (C5—C10) and (C12—C17) respectively. The crystal structure has two intramolecular hydrogen bonds and three C—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1). The unit cell contains four molecules of the title compound (I), which form pairs of hydrogen bonded dimers (Table 1, Figs. 2). Neighboring pairs of these dimers are orthogonally arranged with respect to each other. Lattice binding is provided principally by C—H···O interactions, shown in Figure 2. The chains, aligned along the c axis, are further linked together via cross-linking weaker C—H···O interactions (Table 1).
