A solution with equimolar amounts of 2,5-dibromo-1,4-bis(mercaptomethyl)benzene (3.26 g, 10 mmol) and 1,4-dibromomethyl-2-cyanobenzene (2.89, 10 mmol) in degassed THF (500 mL) was added dropwise under N2 over 12 hours to a refluxing solution of potassium carbonate (6.9 g, 50 mmol) in EtOH (1.5L). After additional 2 hours at the reflux temperature (473 K), the mixture was cooled down and the solvent was removed. The resulting residue was treated with CH2Cl2 (500 mL) and water (500 mL). The organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase extracted with CH2Cl2 (three times). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, then the solvent was removed, and the resulting solid was chromatographed on silica gel using CH2Cl2/petroleum ether (1:1, v/v) as
The product was further purified by recrystallization from toluene (Wang et al., 2006).All H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93Å for aromatic H atoms, with C—H = 0.97 Å for methylene H atoms, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The S atom of one bridging chain is disorderd over two positions with site occupancies of 0.605 (4) and 0.395 (4) for the major and minor components, respectively.
The benzene dimer of [2,2]paracyclophane is know to play a significant role in chiral catalysis, molecular electronics, and organic solar cells. However, the [3,3]paracyclophane building blocks, which are synthetically more accessible, have received less attention (Clément et al., 2009; Jin & Lu, 2010). Here we report the
of the title compound, a novel dithia[3,3]paracyclophane bearing cyano and bromido groups.In the structure of the title compound, C17H13Br2N1S2, the mean planes of the benzene rings are almost parallel with a dihedral angle of 1.1 (2)° and the distance between the centroids of the rings is 3.294 (3) Å, values obtained by the program PLATON (Spek, 2009), which is shorter than the normal packing distance of aromatic rings (about 3.4 Å), indicates a strong π-π interaction. The S atom of one bridging chain is disorderd over two positions with site occupancies of 0.605 (4) and 0.395 (4) for the major and minor components, respectively.

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 benzene dimer of [2,2]paracyclophane is know to play a significant role in chiral catalysis, molecular electronics, and organic solar cells. However, the [3,3]paracyclophane building blocks, which are synthetically more accessible, have received less attention (Clément et al., 2009; Jin & Lu, 2010). Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound, a novel dithia[3,3]paracyclophane bearing cyano and bromido groups.
In the structure of the title compound, C17H13Br2N1S2, the mean planes of the benzene rings are almost parallel with a dihedral angle of 1.1 (2)° and the distance between the centroids of the rings is 3.294 (3) Å, values obtained by the program PLATON (Spek, 2009), which is shorter than the normal packing distance of aromatic rings (about 3.4 Å), indicates a strong π-π interaction. The S atom of one bridging chain is disorderd over two positions with site occupancies of 0.605 (4) and 0.395 (4) for the major and minor components, respectively.
