In the title compound, C40H32Cl2O4, the two chlorobenzene rings are in syn orientations with respect to the naphthalene ring system and make dihedral angles of 57.12 (6) and 85.74 (6)° with it. The benzene rings of the benzyloxy group make dihedral angles of 75.34 (6) and 83.95 (7)°, with the naphthalene ring system. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H⋯Cl interactions between the methylene H atoms of the benzyloxy group and the Cl atoms in adjacent molecules. Furthermore, centrosymmetrically related molecules are linked into dimeric units by pairs of C—H⋯π interactions.

To a solution of the pinacol compound, 1,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxyacenaphthene (0.1 mmol, 46 mg) in DMAc (0.1 ml), a mixture of benzyl bromide (0.22 mmol, 34 mg), NaH (0.22 mmol, 48 mg), and tetrabutylammonium iodide (0.01 mmol, 2 mg) was added by portions at r.t. After the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h, it was poured into ice-cold water (10 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with CHCl3 (10 ml ×3). The combined extracts were washed with 2 M aqueous HCl followed by washing with brine. The organic layers thus obtained were dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give cake (yield 27 mg, 42%). The crude material was purified by recrystallization from CHCl3/ethanol to give the title compound as colorless platelets (isolated yield, 38%).

In the course of our study on electrophilic aromatic aroylation of 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene, peri-aroylnaphthalene compounds have proven to be formed regioselectively with the aid of suitable acidic mediators (Okamoto & Yonezawa, 2009). Recently, we have reported the crystal structures of several 1,8-diaroylated naphthalene homologues exemplified by bis(4-fluorophenyl)(2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene-1,8-diyl)dimethanone (Watanabe et al., 2010a), and bis(4-bromophenyl)(2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene-1,8-diyl)dimethanone (Watanabe et al., 2010b). The aroyl groups at the 1,8-positions of the naphthalene rings in these compounds are twistedly bonded in an almost perpendicular fashion, but the benzene ring moieties of the aroyl groups tilt slightly toward the exo sides of the naphthalene rings. On the other hand, 1,8-bis(4-chlorobenzoyl)-7-methoxynaphthalene-2-ol ethanol monosolvate (Mitsui et al., 2010) and 2,7-dimethoxy-1,8-bis(4-phenoxybenzoyl)naphthalene (Hijikata et al., 2010) have been revealed that the aroyl groups attached to the naphthalene ring are oriented in the same direction, i.e., syn-orientation. As a part of our continuous study on the molecular structures of this kind of homologous molecules, the X-ray
of the title compound, acenaphthene derivative bearing benzyloxy and 4-chlorophenyl groups, is discussed in this article. The title compound was prepared by Zn-complex-mediated pinacol coupling of 1,8-bis(4-chlorobenzoyl)-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (Nakaema et al., 2007), followed by conversion of hydroxy groups to benzyloxy ones. The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1. The two intervenient benzene rings, A (C12—C17) and B (C19—C24), are in a syn orientation with respect to the naphthalene ring system (C1—C10), and make the dihedral angles of 57.12 (6) and 85.74 (6)°, respectively, with the naphthalene ring system. Furthermore, the dihedral angles of the two benzene rings in the benzyloxy groups, C (C28—C33) and D (C35—C40), against the naphthalene ring system are 75.34 (6) and 83.95 (7)°, respectively. Besides, the interplanar angle between benzene rings A (C12—C17) and B (C19—C24) is smaller than that between benzene ring C (C28—C33) and D (C35—C40) [31.39 (7) and 84.68 (9)°, respectively].In the molecular packing, the C—H···Cl interactions between the hydrogen atoms of the methylene moiety and the chloro atoms of the 4-chlorophenyl rings of the adjacent molecules are observed atom along the a axis [C27—H27A···Cl1i = 2.66 Å](Fig. 2). Furthermore, C—H···π interactions between the hydrogen atom of the benzene ring A and the π-system of the benzene ring D (with centroid Cg6) is also observed (C16—H16···Cg6ii = 2.70 Å; Table 1), resulting in the formation of dimeric units having crystallographic inversion centre (Fig. 3).

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. |

In the course of our study on electrophilic aromatic aroylation of 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene, peri-aroylnaphthalene compounds have proven to be formed regioselectively with the aid of suitable acidic mediators (Okamoto & Yonezawa, 2009). Recently, we have reported the crystal structures of several 1,8-diaroylated naphthalene homologues exemplified by bis(4-fluorophenyl)(2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene-1,8-diyl)dimethanone (Watanabe et al., 2010a), and bis(4-bromophenyl)(2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene-1,8-diyl)dimethanone (Watanabe et al., 2010b). The aroyl groups at the 1,8-positions of the naphthalene rings in these compounds are twistedly bonded in an almost perpendicular fashion, but the benzene ring moieties of the aroyl groups tilt slightly toward the exo sides of the naphthalene rings. On the other hand, 1,8-bis(4-chlorobenzoyl)-7-methoxynaphthalene-2-ol ethanol monosolvate (Mitsui et al., 2010) and 2,7-dimethoxy-1,8-bis(4-phenoxybenzoyl)naphthalene (Hijikata et al., 2010) have been revealed that the aroyl groups attached to the naphthalene ring are oriented in the same direction, i.e., syn-orientation. As a part of our continuous study on the molecular structures of this kind of homologous molecules, the X-ray crystal structure of the title compound, acenaphthene derivative bearing benzyloxy and 4-chlorophenyl groups, is discussed in this article. The title compound was prepared by Zn-complex-mediated pinacol coupling of 1,8-bis(4-chlorobenzoyl)-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (Nakaema et al., 2007), followed by conversion of hydroxy groups to benzyloxy ones. The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1. The two intervenient benzene rings, A (C12—C17) and B (C19—C24), are in a syn orientation with respect to the naphthalene ring system (C1—C10), and make the dihedral angles of 57.12 (6) and 85.74 (6)°, respectively, with the naphthalene ring system. Furthermore, the dihedral angles of the two benzene rings in the benzyloxy groups, C (C28—C33) and D (C35—C40), against the naphthalene ring system are 75.34 (6) and 83.95 (7)°, respectively. Besides, the interplanar angle between benzene rings A (C12—C17) and B (C19—C24) is smaller than that between benzene ring C (C28—C33) and D (C35—C40) [31.39 (7) and 84.68 (9)°, respectively].
In the molecular packing, the C—H···Cl interactions between the hydrogen atoms of the methylene moiety and the chloro atoms of the 4-chlorophenyl rings of the adjacent molecules are observed atom along the a axis [C27—H27A···Cl1i = 2.66 Å](Fig. 2). Furthermore, C—H···π interactions between the hydrogen atom of the benzene ring A and the π-system of the benzene ring D (with centroid Cg6) is also observed (C16—H16···Cg6ii = 2.70 Å; Table 1), resulting in the formation of dimeric units having crystallographic inversion centre (Fig. 3).
