In the title compound, C19H18Cl2O4, the two non-planar six-membered heterocycles passing through the spiro-C atom both adopt chair conformations, and the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 7.2 (1)°. In the crystal, the enantiomers with R and S configurations are generated by the symmetry elements of the centrosymmetric forming a racemic crystal. Intermolecular C—H⋯π and weak C—H⋯O interactions link the molecules in the crystal structure.

To a solution of 3-chlorobenzaldehyde (7.32 mmol, 1.03 g) and pentaerythritol (4 mmol, 0.54 g) in toluene (30 mL), phosphotungstic acid (30 mg) as catalyst was added, respectively. The mixtures were refluxed for 4 h to complete the reaction. After reaction, the mixture was evaporated under vacuum and the residuces were washed with 5% sodium bicarboinate (20 mL) and 50% ethanol (20 mL), respectively. The pure product recrystallised from ethanol to afford colourless crystals (yield 65%, m.p. 397–398 K). Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were also obtained by evaporation of an enthanol solution.
All the H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93–0.98 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Owing to the characteristic axial and helical
the stereochemistry of spiranes with six-membered rings has been extensively studied (Cismaş et al., 2005). In the past three decades, most of these investigations were carried out with spiranes containing 1,3-dioxane units (Mihiş et al., 2008; Sun et al., 2010). We herein present the structure of 3,9-bis(3-chlorophenyl)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane (Fig. 1).In the title compound, the two nonplanar six-membered heterocycles [(O1, O2 and C7–C10) and (O3, O4 and C10–C13)] passing through the spiro-C atom (C10) both adopt chair conformations, and the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings (C1–C6 and C14–C19) is 7.2 (1)°. In the crystal packing structure (Fig. 2), the enantiomers with R and S configurations are generated by the symmetry elements of the centrosymmetric groups forming a racemate. Intermolecular weak C–H···O interactions link molecules with the same configuration (R or S) into the two chains chains along the b axis. The chains are further connected by C–H···π interactions [C12–H12B···Cg1i = 2.70 Å; (i) -x + 2, -y, -z + 1; Cg1 is the centroid of benzene ring (C1–C6); Table 1] creating a racemic network.

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. |

Owing to the characteristic axial and helical chirality, the stereochemistry of spiranes with six-membered rings has been extensively studied (Cismaş et al., 2005). In the past three decades, most of these investigations were carried out with spiranes containing 1,3-dioxane units (Mihiş et al., 2008; Sun et al., 2010). We herein present the structure of 3,9-bis(3-chlorophenyl)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane (Fig. 1).
In the title compound, the two nonplanar six-membered heterocycles [(O1, O2 and C7–C10) and (O3, O4 and C10–C13)] passing through the spiro-C atom (C10) both adopt chair conformations, and the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings (C1–C6 and C14–C19) is 7.2 (1)°. In the crystal packing structure (Fig. 2), the enantiomers with R and S configurations are generated by the symmetry elements of the centrosymmetric groups forming a racemate. Intermolecular weak C–H···O interactions link molecules with the same configuration (R or S) into the two chains chains along the b axis. The chains are further connected by C–H···π interactions [C12–H12B···Cg1i = 2.70 Å; (i) -x + 2, -y, -z + 1; Cg1 is the centroid of benzene ring (C1–C6); Table 1] creating a racemic network.
