The title compound, C16H16BrNO4, has two adjacent chiral C atoms and both have an S configuration. The fused cyclohex-2-enone and dihydrofuran rings both adopt envelope conformations, with the quaternary C atom and the nitro-substituted C atoms as the respective flap. The flap atoms lie 0.607 (3) and −0.253 (2) Å, respectively, from the mean plane of the remaining ring atoms on opposite sides. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of the four coplanar atoms of the dihydrofuran ring and the phenyl ring is 86.16 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O interactions, forming a ladder motif parallel to the b axis.

To a solution of 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (1.2 mmol) and (E)-1-bromo-3-(2-bromo-2-nitrovinyl)benzene (1 mmol) in CHCl3 (3 ml) was added 1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-((S) -(6-methoxyquinolin-4-yl)((2S,4S,8R)-8-vinylquinuclidin-2 -yl)methyl)thiourea (0.025 mmol) as catalyst and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA, 0.3 mmol) as the base. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h (monitored by TLC). Then the solvent was distilled under vacuum, and the residue was purified by flash
(silica gel, Hex/AcOEt, v/v, 3:1) giving the title compound. Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of a CH2Cl2 and iPrOH solution (v/v, 1:1).Methyl H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.96 (1) Å and the methyl torsion was refined to fit the electron density with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.98 (1) Å (CH), C—H = 0.97 (1) Å (CH2), C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic). All H atoms included in the final cycles of
using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).Data collection: PROCESS-AUTO (Rigaku, 2006); cell

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. |

Dihdrofurans are found in many naturally occurring compounds and are used as versatile intermediates in organic and natural product synthesis (Fraga, 1992; Lipshutz, 1986). Organocatalytic asymmetric domino reactions have received increasing attention in the synthetic community recently. The title compound, which was readily synthesized by the organocatalytic Michael-SN2 reaction of 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione to (E)-1-bromo-3-(2-bromo-2-nitrovinyl)benzene (Fan et al., 2010; Rueping et al., 2010), could act as an intermediate in organic and natural product synthesis. In this article, the crystal structure of the title compoud (2S,3S)-3-(3-bromophenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-2- nitro-2,3,6,7-tetrahydrobenzofuran-4(5H)-one is described (Fig. 1).
