The title compound, C₁₈H₁₇NO₄, was obtained accidentally through acid-catalysed aromatization of a phthalimide-substituted 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)cyclohex-2-enone. It exhibits an intramolecular O—H⋯O_c (c = carbonyl) hydrogen bond and forms a three-dimensional network structure via π–π stacking interactions between adjacent benzene rings (phthalimide-to-phenylene and phthalimide-to-phthalimide), with centroid–centroid distances of 3.8262 (6) and 3.6245 (5) Å.

Comment top

N-[2-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)phenethyl]phthalimide (Fig. 1), was accidentally obtained as an unintended product from a total synthesis of malyngamides. In the first step N-[(formyl)methyl]phthalimide was reacted with cyclohex-2-enone via a titanium (IV) chloride promoted Baylis-Hillman reaction. The 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)cyclohex-2-enone obtained was then reacted with ethylene glycol with p-toluenesulfonic acid as the catalyst, with the aim to protect the keto group as a 1,3-dioxolane (Chen et al., 2011; Shih & Swenton, 1982). However, condensation with ethylene glycol proofed incomplete and through elimination of the hydroxy group and subsequent aromatization of the cyclohex-2-enone ring through a [1,5] shift of the double bond the title compound was obtained instead (Fig. 3). A similar reaction involving an aromatization of a cyclohex-2-enone obtained via a titanium (IV) chloride promoted Baylis-Hillman Reaction had been described earlier by e.g. Patra et al. (2002). This unexpected reaction offers itself as a good strategy for the synthesis of 2-substituted β-phenethylamines which are amino acid metabolites and important intermediates in medicinal chemistry (Lewin et al., 2008).

As shown in Fig. 2, an intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bond is formed between the hydroxy group and one of the keto oxygen atoms (Table 1). In the crystal, the crystal packing is further stabilized by π-π interactions between phenyl rings in neighboring molecules (phthalimide to phenylene and phthalimide to phthalimide), with centroid to centroid distances of 3.8262 (6) Å and 3.6245 (5) Å.

Experimental top

The title compound was produced in two steps. Using Baylis-Hillman reaction conditions (Basavaiah et al., 2010; Park et al., 2004), N-[2-hydroxy-2-(6-oxocyclohex-1-enyl)ethyl]phthalimide was prepared from N-[(formyl)methyl]phthalimide (Qi et al., 2011; Reggelin et al., 2006; Veale et al., 2008) and cyclohex-2-enone with titanium (IV) chloride in 56% yield. Then, to a stirred solution of N-[2-hydroxy-2-(6-oxocyclohex-1-enyl)ethyl]phthalimide (163 mg) in benzene (10 ml), ethylene glycol (4.40 ml) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (1 mg) were added and the mixture was refluxed for 20 h. The reaction mixture was poured into saturated NaHCO₃ solution (10 ml), extracted with Et₂O (3 × 20 ml) and then dried over MgSO₄. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to give the title compound (128 mg, 72%) as a colourless solid. m.p. 403–404 K; ¹H NMR (CDCl₃, 400 MHz) δ: 7.85 (m, 2H, ArH), 7.71 (m, 2H, ArH), 7.22 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 2H, ArH), 6.88 (m, J = 7.4 and 8.8 Hz, 2H, ArH), 4.07 (m, 4H, CH₂), 3.92 (m, 2H, CH₂), 2.98 (t, J = 8.4 Hz, 2H, CH₂); ¹³C NMR (CDCl₃, 100 MHz) δ: 168.6 (C), 157.0 (C), 134.0 (CH, overlapping signals), 132.1 (C), 130.9 (CH), 128.3 (CH), 126.0 (C), 123.4 (CH, overlapping signals), 120.8 (CH), 111.0 (CH), 69.5 (CH₂), 61.5 (CH₂), 37.9 (CH₂), 30.6 (CH₂); MS (ESI) m/z (%): 311 (M+, 30), 281 (9), 164 (100), 160 (53), 133 (73), 120 (57).

Special details top

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.
