The title compound, C17H16O5, is a previously unreported substituted semibulvalene (that is, a tricyclic hydrocarbon formed from one cyclopropane and two cyclopentene rings which also has one double bond fused to a benzene ring). It has one methoxy substituent attached to the bridgehead C atom that links only the two cyclopentene rings and two methyl carboxylate groups located on the C atom shared by all three non-benzene rings and that shared only between the cyclopropane and the cyclopentene rings. The stereochemistry of the two enantiomers (racemate) that assemble in each is RRRS and SSSR. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π interactions, forming double-layered sheets lying perpendicular to the a axis.

The title compound (I) is the major product from the acetone sensitized irradiation of dimethyl 1-methoxy-4-hydro-1,4-ethenonaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylate (II). The melting range of (I) is 382–384 K. The barrelene (II) was of interest in connection with a study of polar substituents in pericyclic reactions (Bender et al., 1975) and was synthesized from the Diels-Alder reaction between 1-methoxynaphthalene and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, as outlined in Figure 3.
All hydrogen atoms were located on a difference map. Hydrogen atoms attached to carbon are treated as riding, with C—H = 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl, C—H = 1.00 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for methine and C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and alkene H atoms. The highest residual peak is only a fraction of the electron density of a single H atom, 0.31 e.Å-3, and is located between C1 and C5.
The structure of the title compound (I) is shown in Fig. 1. Although a number of bulvalene (two fused benzene rings) and semibulvalene (one fused benzene) structures have previously been reported, three have features that make comparison to (I) particularly meaningful. The bulvalene 8c,8d-dibenzoyl-4b-methoxy-4b,8b,8c,8d-tetrahydrodibenzo(a,f)cyclopropa(cd)pentalene, CSD (Allen, 2002) refcode: ROHFAV, has a methoxy group in the same bridgehead location as in the title compound (Muneer et al., 1997). Furthermore, the two sites on the cyclopropane ring are also substituted, albeit with phenyl ketone groups in place of the
The semibulvalene methyl 6c-benzoyl-2a,2b,6b,6c-tetrahydrobenzo(a)cyclopropa(cd)pentalene-6b-carboxylate has a methyl ester in place of the methoxy at the bridgehead C in (I) and has one phenyl ketone group attached at the cyclopropane ring (CSD refcode: LEKLES; Pokkuluri, Scheffer, Trotter & Yap, 1994). The semibulvalene dimethyl 3,8-diphenyl-2a,2b,8b,8c-tetrahydrocyclopropa(1',2',3':3,3a,4) pentaleno(1,2 - b)naphthalene-2a,8c-dicarboxylate shares with (I) the substitution of two methyl ester groups in the same locations (CSD refcode: LEKLIW; Pokkuluri, Scheffer, & Trotter, 1994). This structure differs by not having a bridgehead methoxy group and that the fused aromatic ring is a diphenyl-substituted naphthalene ring in place of the unsubstituted benzene ring in (I). A comparison of the metric parameters common to these four structures shows great similarity with only a few values deviating by more than 1%.The five short intermolecular contacts in the
of (I) are displayed in Fig. 2 looking down the b axis with c horizontal. The contacts extend in such a way as to develop a "double layer" parallel to the bc planes. The contact distances are O2···H6', 2.530 (1); O5···H10' 2.5353 (8); C6···H10', 2.810 (1); H6···H10', 2.3578 (2) and H7···C9', 2.9307 (2) Å. The interactions involving O2 and O5 are sufficient to develop the sheet structure; the doubling of the sheets exclusively involves "T-shaped" interactions between H7 and C9.For general background, see: Bender & Brooks (1975).

Experimental. A crystal coated in Paratone (TM) oil was mounted on the end of a thin glass capillary and cooled in the gas stream of the diffractometer Kryoflex device. |
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. |

The structure of the title compound (I) is shown in Fig. 1. Although a number of bulvalene (two fused benzene rings) and semibulvalene (one fused benzene) structures have previously been reported, three have features that make comparison to (I) particularly meaningful. The bulvalene 8c,8d-dibenzoyl-4b-methoxy-4b,8b,8c,8d-tetrahydrodibenzo(a,f)cyclopropa(cd)pentalene, CSD (Allen, 2002) refcode: ROHFAV, has a methoxy group in the same bridgehead location as in the title compound (Muneer et al., 1997). Furthermore, the two sites on the cyclopropane ring are also substituted, albeit with phenyl ketone groups in place of the esters. The semibulvalene methyl 6c-benzoyl-2a,2b,6b,6c-tetrahydrobenzo(a)cyclopropa(cd)pentalene-6b-carboxylate has a methyl ester functional group in place of the methoxy at the bridgehead C in (I) and has one phenyl ketone group attached at the cyclopropane ring (CSD refcode: LEKLES; Pokkuluri, Scheffer, Trotter & Yap, 1994). The semibulvalene dimethyl 3,8-diphenyl-2a,2b,8b,8c-tetrahydrocyclopropa(1',2',3':3,3a,4) pentaleno(1,2 - b)naphthalene-2a,8c-dicarboxylate shares with (I) the substitution of two methyl ester groups in the same locations (CSD refcode: LEKLIW; Pokkuluri, Scheffer, & Trotter, 1994). This structure differs by not having a bridgehead methoxy group and that the fused aromatic ring is a diphenyl-substituted naphthalene ring in place of the unsubstituted benzene ring in (I). A comparison of the metric parameters common to these four structures shows great similarity with only a few values deviating by more than 1%.
The five short intermolecular contacts in the crystal lattice of (I) are displayed in Fig. 2 looking down the b axis with c horizontal. The contacts extend in such a way as to develop a "double layer" parallel to the bc planes. The contact distances are O2···H6', 2.530 (1); O5···H10' 2.5353 (8); C6···H10', 2.810 (1); H6···H10', 2.3578 (2) and H7···C9', 2.9307 (2) Å. The interactions involving O2 and O5 are sufficient to develop the sheet structure; the doubling of the sheets exclusively involves "T-shaped" interactions between H7 and C9.
