In the title compound, C28H23N3O, the 1,2,4-triazole ring deviates slightly from planarity adopting a N3TC2 conformation which is distorted towards an EC2 conformation. The plane around the ethylene unit makes a dihedral angle of 17.32 (11)° with the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.036 (1) Å] of the 1,2,4-triazole fragment. The dihedral angles between the four phenyl rings and the 1,2,4-triazole ring are 31.01 (10), 49.01 (8), 78.55 (6) and 41.51 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked along [100] by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

To an oven dried Schlenk-flask charged with NaH (48 mg, 2.0 mmol), tBuOK (11 mg, 98 mol), and 5-(methoxy(phenyl)methyl)-1,3,4-triphenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazolium chloride (454 mg, 1.00 mmol) was added dry THF (15 ml) under nitrogen and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 4 h in the dark. The solvent was then removed under vacuum, and the residue was suspended in dry toluene (20 ml) and filtered through a celite pad under nitrogen. Then the solvent was evaporated to give 296 mg (0.709 mmol, 71%) of the title compound as 10:1 mixture of E:Z isomers. Crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography were grown by cooling down a saturated acetonitrile solution at -30 °C under argon for 48 h.
C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.98 Å for aliphatic, 0.95 Å for aromatic H) and treated as riding on their parent atoms [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, aromatic), Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C, aliphatic)]. The methyl group was allowed to rotate along the C-O bond to best fit the experimental electron density.

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. |

Umpolung reactions of aldehydes catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes [Arduengo et al. (1991)] belong to the most important organocatalytic CC bond-forming reactions [Enders et al. (2007), Biju et al. (2011)]. An acyl anion equivalent, the so called Breslow intermediate [Breslow (1958)] was proposed to be the key intermediate of these transformations.
To understand the structure of these intermediates, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the 1,2,4-triazole fragment is nearly planar, with a mean deviation of 0.036 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the five constituent atoms.
The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of the title compound which is shown in Figure 1.
Puckering analysis [Cremer et al. (1975)] reveals that the 4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole ring adopts a N3TC2 conformation which is distorted towards a EC2 conformation. In a related structure [Nair et al. (2008)] of a compound which is different from the title compound only through the substituent connected by a double bond with the 4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole ring, the latter ring is planar and not puckered. The methoxy(phenyl)methylene group is bound to the 4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole ring in a distance of 1.358 (3) Å which indicates a double bond. However, the plane of the heterocycle and the plane around the methylene atom are not coplanar but enclose a dihedral angle of 17.32 (11)°. In the related structure, the corresponding dihedral angle is 42.5 (4)°. The plane of the phenyl ring bound to the methylene atom is not coplanar with the plane around the methylene atom as well (dihedral angle 34.14 (10)°). The dihedral angles between the four phenyl rings and the mean plane of the 1,2,4-triazole ring are 31.01 (10)° [the C3-C8 phenyl ring], 49.01 (8)° [the C9-C14 phenyl ring], 78.55 (6)° [the C15-C20 phenyl ring] and 41.51 (9)° [the C22-C27 phenyl ring]. In the crystal packing, molecules are connected by weak C–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
