The title compound, C23H32Cl2N2O2, a potential chiral ligand for coordination chemistry, was prepared by a two-step reaction. The molecule is located on a crystallographic centre of inversion. As a result, the methyl group bonded to the methylene group is disordered over two equally occupied positions, sharing the same site as the H atom of the chiral C atom. As a further consequence of the crystallographic centrosymmetry, the 1,2-diaminopropane unit adopts an antiperiplanar conformation and the two benzene rings are coplanar. The central chain is in an all-trans arrangement. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond makes an S(6) ring motif. A C—H⋯π interaction links the molecules into one-dimensional chains along the [001] direction.

Sodium borohydride (3.0 mmol, 0.11 g) was added to a solution of 3,3'-(propane-1,2-diyl)bis(6-chloro-5,7-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2 h-benzo[e][1,3]oxazina) (435 mg, 1 mmol) (II) in ethanol (15 ml), and the mixture was stirred magnetically for 30 min at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was poured into ice-cold water, neutralized with ammonium chloride (12 ml), and extracted with CHCl3 (3 × 10 ml). The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated. Recrystallization from ethanol afforded (I) in 91% yield. m.p. 424 K.
All H atoms bonded to C were refined using a riding model with fixed individual displacement parameters [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl] with C—H ranging from 0.95 Å to 0.99 Å. The hydroxyl H atom was isotropically refined. The methyl group C4 is disordered over two centrosymmerically related positions each with a 50% occupancy. The completeness of the data is 99.4% with eleven reflections missing for a full completeness. Since no reflection was omitted on purpose, this is most probably due to the data collection strategy using an area detector.
Compound I, C23H32Cl2N2O2, a new chiral N,N-dimethylated tetrahydrosalen (H2[H4]salen) was obtained by reacting the bis-benzoxazine (II) with sodium borohydride using our procedure reported earlier (Rivera et al. 2010). The intermediate II was prepared by condensing 1,2-diaminepropane with formaldehyde and 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol employing the general procedure of Burke (1949). The synthetic route for the title compound reported herein is illustrated in Fig. 1. The molecular structure and atom-numbering scheme for title compound, C23H32Cl2N2O2, are shown in Fig. 2. The bond/newcifs lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are normal and similar to those observed for related structures (Rivera et al. 2010; Xu et al. 2009). In the title molecule, the 1,2-propanodiamine unit adopts an antiperiplanar conformation with an N1—C3—C3a—N1a torsion angle of -180.0 (2)°. As a consequence of this conformation, both benzene rings are parallel to each other. The central chain –CH2—N(CH3)—CH2—CH(CH3)—N(CH3)—CH2– is found in an all-trans arrangement. The two symmetry-related methyl substituents in the molecule (C2 and C2i, (i) = 1 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z) are orientated in an antiperiplanar arrangement (pseudo torsion angle CH3—N···N—CH3 = 180.00°). The C2 and C4 methyl groups are almost (+)-synclinal [C2—N1—C3—C4 torsion angle = 48.0 (4)°], a conformation stabilized by an intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond. The relationship of C4 methyl to C2i is defined by the pseudo torsion angle C4—C3···N1a—C2a, which is 114.64 (3)°.
The intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond (Table 1) makes an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995), contrasting with the related structure (Xu et al., 2009). In the
intermolecular C1—H1B···Cg1(1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) interaction links the molecules into one-dimensional chains. C1···Cg1 is 3.709 (3)Å, H1···Cg1 is 2.83Å and the angle at H1 is 148°. Cg1 is the centroid of the C11–C16 ring.For the synthesis of the title compound, see: Rivera et al. (2010); Burke (1949).

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. |

Compound I, C23H32Cl2N2O2, a new chiral N,N-dimethylated tetrahydrosalen (H2[H4]salen) was obtained by reacting the bis-benzoxazine (II) with sodium borohydride using our procedure reported earlier (Rivera et al. 2010). The intermediate II was prepared by condensing 1,2-diaminepropane with formaldehyde and 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol employing the general procedure of Burke (1949). The synthetic route for the title compound reported herein is illustrated in Fig. 1. The molecular structure and atom-numbering scheme for title compound, C23H32Cl2N2O2, are shown in Fig. 2. The bond/newcifs lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are normal and similar to those observed for related structures (Rivera et al. 2010; Xu et al. 2009). In the title molecule, the 1,2-propanodiamine unit adopts an antiperiplanar conformation with an N1—C3—C3a—N1a torsion angle of -180.0 (2)°. As a consequence of this conformation, both benzene rings are parallel to each other. The central chain –CH2—N(CH3)—CH2—CH(CH3)—N(CH3)—CH2– is found in an all-trans arrangement. The two symmetry-related methyl substituents in the molecule (C2 and C2i, (i) = 1 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z) are orientated in an antiperiplanar arrangement (pseudo torsion angle CH3—N···N—CH3 = 180.00°). The C2 and C4 methyl groups are almost (+)-synclinal [C2—N1—C3—C4 torsion angle = 48.0 (4)°], a conformation stabilized by an intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond. The relationship of C4 methyl to C2i is defined by the pseudo torsion angle C4—C3···N1a—C2a, which is 114.64 (3)°.
The intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond (Table 1) makes an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995), contrasting with the related structure (Xu et al., 2009). In the crystal structure, intermolecular C1—H1B···Cg1(1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) interaction links the molecules into one-dimensional chains. C1···Cg1 is 3.709 (3)Å, H1···Cg1 is 2.83Å and the angle at H1 is 148°. Cg1 is the centroid of the C11–C16 ring.
