The title compound was synthesized according to the published procedure (Ates-Alagoz & Buyukbingol, 2001). A mixture of (2S,3S)-diethyltartrate (500 mg, 2.43 mmol), 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (331 mg, 2.43 mmol), anhydrous copper(II) sulfate (776 mg, 2.86 mmol), and one drop of methane sulfonic acid in anhydrous toluene (8 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 8 h. Anhydrous Magnesium sulfate (30 mg) was added to the reaction mixture, which was then stirred for a further 20 min. Then a colourless precipitate was obtained by evaporation and dried in vacuo (Yield 83%). The obtained colourless product (654 mg, 2 mmol) was dissolved in 40 ml anhydrous ethanol, then a current of dry ammonia (dried by calcium cholride) was passed into the reaction mixture at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction mixture was then filtered and the resulting product was evaporated to dryness. Pure compound was obtained by crystallization from ethanol. Block-like yellow crystals of the title compound, suitable for X-ray diffraction, were obatined by slow evaporation of a solution in methanol after four weeks.
The NH and C-bound H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: N-H = 0.86 Å, C-H = 0.93, 0.98 and 0.96 Å for CH(aromatic), CH(methine), and CH3 H-atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = k × Ueq(C,N), where k = 1.5 for CH3 H-atoms, and k = 1.2 for all other H-atoms. In the final cycles of
in the absence of significant effects, 945 Friedel pairs were merged and Δf " set to zero.Data collection: CAD-4 Software (Enraf–Nonius, 1989); cell

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. |

Antitumor platinum drugs are some of the most effective anticancer agents currently available. (2S,3S)-Diethyl-2,3-O-alkyltartrate analogues are starting materials for the synthesis of platinum complexes with antitumor activity (Kim et al., 1994), and are also important intermediates in organic synthesis (Pandey et al., 1997). As part of our studies of the synthesis and characterization of such compounds, we herein report on the crystal structure of the title compound.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. The five-membered 1,3-dioxolane ring (O2,O3,C8-C10) has a twisted conformation on bond O2-C8.
In the crystal, intermolecular N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form two-dimensional networks lieing parallel to the ab plane (Table 1 and Fig 2). There are also C-H···π interactions present in the crystal structure (Table 1).
