The title compound, C22H16ClNO4, adopts a conformation in which the phenyl ring plane forms similar dihedral angles with the nitrobenzoate C6 ring [76.97 (8)°] and the chlorophenyl group [76.95 (8)°]; the dihedral angle between the chlorophenyl and nitrobenzoate rings is 66.43 (8)°. In the crystal, π–π stacking is observed between the latter two planes, with a dihedral angle of 1.79 (8)° and a centroid–centroid distance of 3.735 (1) Å. In addition, molecules are linked along [100] by weak C—H⋯O contacts.

A four step synthesis was used to obtain the title compound (I).
1) (E)-3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-enone (18.1 g, 74.7 mmol, 87.2%) was synthesized from acetophenone (10.3 g, 85.7 mmol) and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (12.0 g, 85.7 mmol) using an aldol condensation [Troshin et al. (2011)].
2) (E)-3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-enone (16.6 g, 68.4 mmol) was reduced with sodium borohydride (ca 5.0 g, ca 140 mmol) yielding the racemic (E)-3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-ol (15.7 g, 64.2 mmol, 94%) [Troshin et al. (2011)].
3) The (R) isomer of (E)-3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-ol was obtained by a Sharpless epoxidation of racemic (E)-3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-ol (15.5 g, 63.3 mmol) with D(-)-DIPT (1.78 g, 7.60 mmol), titanium(IV)isopropoxide (1.81 g, 6.33 mmol), and tBuOOH (8.4 ml of the 4.9 M CH2Cl2 solution [Gao et al. (1987)], 41.1 mmol) [Roos et al. (1996)]. The crude mixture was separated from the solvents and dissolved in ethanol followed by addition of piperidine (6.3 ml, 5.4 g, 64 mmol) and then refluxed for 10 h. The resulting solution was washed with 0.2 M aq HCl and water and then purified using
(silica gel, isohexane/diethyl ether) yielding R,E)-3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-ol (4.65 g, 19.0 mmol, 30%).4) R,E)-3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-ol (3.00 g, 12.3 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane followed by addition of triethylamine (2.7 ml, 2.0 g, 19 mmol), DMAP (195 mg, 1.60 mmol), and 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride (2.96 g, 15.9 mmol) and the resulting solution was stirred for 30 min. The reaction mixture was washed with 0.2 M aq HCl and water, separated from the solvent, and the crude product was recrystallized twice from dichloromethane/pentane yielding (I) (1.90 g, 4.82 mmol, 39.4%) of > 99% ee (HPLC).
C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically in ideal distances (0.95 Å for aromatic H and 1.00 Å for aliphatic H) and treated as riding on their parent atoms [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)].
Allylic substances have been used since 1940s to get an insight into the detailed mechanism of SN1 reactions due to the possibility of allylic rearrangement which gives additional analytical probe not available for other systems [Hughes (1941); Raber et al. (1974)]. Pioneering research of Goering et al. (1971) on the solvolyses of optically active allyl derivatives provided lots of information about ion-pairing in SN1 solvolyses (Goering et al., 1971), however, due to the lack of analytical methods available during Goering's time, many questions about
dynamics and stereochemistry of allylic rearrangements remained open. As modern analytical techniques such as chiral HPLC and laser-flash photolysis give unprecedented insights in the reaction kinetics, we decided to reconsider the problem of stereochemistry of allylic rearrangements. The title compound (R,E)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylallyl 4-nitrobenzoate was chosen as a model compound for this research, as all eight compounds which can be present in the system during its solvolysis in aqueous solvents (i.e. (R) and (S) isomers of title compound, (<I>E)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylallyl 4-nitrobenzoate, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-ol, and 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ol)) can be resolved using chiral HPLC. X-ray was used to confirm the of the title compound (I).The
contains one molecule of the title compound (I) which is shown in Figure 1. The plane defined by C4, C7, C8 and C9 (contains the allyl group) is not exactly coplanar with the adjacent chlorophenyl moiety (dihedral angle 9.71 (17)°). A deviation of coplanarity of a similar magnitude (6.5 (3)°) is observed in a related structure with a phenyl group as adjacent moiety [Cao et al. 2011)], while a less deviation (dihedral angle 1.7 (6)°) is observed in a related structure with a p-toluyl group as adjacent moiety [Wang et al. (2009)]. A slight deviation from coplanarity is observed in the nitrobenzoate group as well. The plane of the nitro group is almost coplanar with the phenyl ring enclosing a dihedral angle of 0.9 (2)°. However, the plane of the CO2 group forms a dihedral angle of 10.16 (19)° with the phenyl ring.The packing of (I) is shown in Figure 2. π-stacking is established between the chlorophenyl and nitrobenzoate moieties. These planes are arranged almost parallel to the viewing direction of Figure 2. A C-H···π contact is noted between C12-H12 and the nitrobenzoate moiety (distance C12···Cg 3.807 (2) Å). A weak C–H···O hydrogen bond is formed between C2 and O4 with a donor-acceptor distance of 3.529 (2) Å linking the molecules along [100] (see Fig. 3).

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 > 2σ(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. |

Allylic substances have been used since 1940s to get an insight into the detailed mechanism of SN1 reactions due to the possibility of allylic rearrangement which gives additional analytical probe not available for other systems [Hughes (1941); Raber et al. (1974)]. Pioneering research of Goering et al. (1971) on the solvolyses of optically active allyl derivatives provided lots of information about ion-pairing in SN1 solvolyses (Goering et al., 1971), however, due to the lack of analytical methods available during Goering's time, many questions about ion pair dynamics and stereochemistry of allylic rearrangements remained open. As modern analytical techniques such as chiral HPLC and laser-flash photolysis give unprecedented insights in the reaction kinetics, we decided to reconsider the problem of stereochemistry of allylic rearrangements. The title compound (R,E)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylallyl 4-nitrobenzoate was chosen as a model compound for this research, as all eight compounds which can be present in the system during its solvolysis in aqueous solvents (i.e. (R) and (S) isomers of title compound, (<I>E)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylallyl 4-nitrobenzoate, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-ol, and 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ol)) can be resolved using chiral HPLC. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to confirm the absolute configuration of the title compound (I).
The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of the title compound (I) which is shown in Figure 1. The plane defined by C4, C7, C8 and C9 (contains the allyl group) is not exactly coplanar with the adjacent chlorophenyl moiety (dihedral angle 9.71 (17)°). A deviation of coplanarity of a similar magnitude (6.5 (3)°) is observed in a related structure with a phenyl group as adjacent moiety [Cao et al. 2011)], while a less deviation (dihedral angle 1.7 (6)°) is observed in a related structure with a p-toluyl group as adjacent moiety [Wang et al. (2009)]. A slight deviation from coplanarity is observed in the nitrobenzoate group as well. The plane of the nitro group is almost coplanar with the phenyl ring enclosing a dihedral angle of 0.9 (2)°. However, the plane of the CO2 group forms a dihedral angle of 10.16 (19)° with the phenyl ring.
The packing of (I) is shown in Figure 2. π-stacking is established between the chlorophenyl and nitrobenzoate moieties. These planes are arranged almost parallel to the viewing direction of Figure 2. A C-H···π contact is noted between C12-H12 and the nitrobenzoate moiety (distance C12···Cg 3.807 (2) Å). A weak C–H···O hydrogen bond is formed between C2 and O4 with a donor-acceptor distance of 3.529 (2) Å linking the molecules along [100] (see Fig. 3).
