In the title compound, C19H20F2N2O, the six-membered piperazine group adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 73.4 (6)°. The mean plane of the ethanone group is twisted from the mean planes of the two benzene rings by 66.7 (8) and 86.2 (6)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F interactions link the molecules, forming a three-dimensional structure.

4,4'-Difluorobenzhydryl piperazine was obtained from R. L. Fine Chem., Bengaluru, India. 4,4'-Difluorobenzhydryl piperazine (2.88 g, 0.01 mol) was dissolved in 10 ml of absolute ethanol and acetylsalicylic acid (1.81 g, 0.01 mol) was also dissolved in 10 ml of absolute ethanol. Both the solutions were mixed and stirred in a beaker at 333 K for 30 min. The mixture was kept aside for a day at room temperature. The compound formed was filtered and dried in a vacuum desiccator over phosphorous pentoxide. The compound was recrystallized from a mixture of toluene and dimethyl formamide by slow evaporation (m.p. 418–423 K).
All of the H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with C—H lengths of 0.93, 0.98 (CH) or 0.96 Å (CH3). The isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.19 to 1.20 (CH), 1.19 to 1.20 (CH2) or 1.50 (CH3) times Ueq of the parent atom.
4,4'-Difluorobenzhydryl piperazine is an intermediate for the preparation of flunarizine which is a calcium channel blocker. Piperazines are among the most important building blocks in today's drug discovery and are found in biologically active compounds across a number of different therapeutic areas (Brockunier et al., 2004; Bogatcheva et al., 2006). A review on the current pharmacological and toxicological information for piperazine derivatives is described (Elliott, 2011).

In the course of our studies on the salts of piperazines and in view of the importance of piperazines, this paper reports the crystal and molecular structure of the title compound, C19H20F2N2O, (I), which was accidentally obtained by the reaction of 4,4'-difluorobenzhydryl piperazine and acetyl salicylic acid.
In the θ and φ of 0.568 (9) Å, 172.2 (7)°, and 350.979 (8)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975), respectively (Fig. 1). For an ideal chair θ has a value of 0 or 180°. Bond lengths are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 73.4 (6)°. The mean plane of the ethanone group (C1/C2/O1/N1) is twisted from the mean planes of the two benzene rings by 66.7 (8)° and 86.2 (6)°. Weak C—H···O and C—H···F intermolecular interactions (Table 1) are observed providing increased stability with crystal packing (Fig. 2).

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. |

4,4'-Difluorobenzhydryl piperazine is an intermediate for the preparation of flunarizine which is a calcium channel blocker. Piperazines are among the most important building blocks in today's drug discovery and are found in biologically active compounds across a number of different therapeutic areas (Brockunier et al., 2004; Bogatcheva et al., 2006). A review on the current pharmacological and toxicological information for piperazine derivatives is described (Elliott, 2011).
The crystal structures of 4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]piperazin-1-ium 2-(2-phenylethyl) benzoate (Betz et al., 2011a), 4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]piperazin-1-ium picrate (Betz et al., 2011b), (E)-1-{4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]piperazin-1-yl}-3-(4-ethoxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (Zhong et al., 2011), 4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl) methyl]piperazin-1-ium bis(trichloroacetate) 0.4-hydrate (Dayananda et al., 2012a), 4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl] piperazin-1-ium 2-hydroxybenzoate 2-hydroxybenzoic acid monosolvate (Dayananda et al., 2012b) and 1-[bis(4-fluorophenyl) methyl]-4-[2-(2-methylphenoxy)ethyl]piperazine (Dai et al., 2012) have been reported. In the course of our studies on the salts of piperazines and in view of the importance of piperazines, this paper reports the crystal and molecular structure of the title compound, C19H20F2N2O, (I), which was accidentally obtained by the reaction of 4,4'-difluorobenzhydryl piperazine and acetyl salicylic acid.
In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, (I), the 6-membered piperazine group (N1/C3/C4/N2/C5/C6) adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation with puckering parameters Q, θ and φ of 0.568 (9) Å, 172.2 (7)°, and 350.979 (8)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975), respectively (Fig. 1). For an ideal chair θ has a value of 0 or 180°. Bond lengths are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 73.4 (6)°. The mean plane of the ethanone group (C1/C2/O1/N1) is twisted from the mean planes of the two benzene rings by 66.7 (8)° and 86.2 (6)°. Weak C—H···O and C—H···F intermolecular interactions (Table 1) are observed providing increased stability with crystal packing (Fig. 2).
