An oven-dried screw cap test tube was charged with a magnetic stir bar, benzhydrol (1 mmol), and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (5 mol%). The tube was then evacuated and back-filled with nitrogen. The evacuation/ backfill sequence was repeated two additional times. The tube was placed in a preheated oil bath at 110°C, and the reaction mixture was stirred vigorously. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC, and on completion, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was extracted with dried ethyl acetate (10 ml), and the extract was then concentrated under reduced pressure; the residue was purified via
using silica gel (60 to 120 mesh) and petrol ether-ethyl acetate mixture. white solid, 91% yield, m.p. 363 K.All H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for H.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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. |

The benzhydryl ether moiety is abundant in a number of naturally occurring and biologically active compounds as well as molecules of potential clinical use and also exhibit various pharmacological potentials. In addition such molecules possess properties such as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibition (Brahmachari, 2010), anti-plasmodial and anti-trypanosomal action (Weis et al., 2006), monoamine uptake inhibition, anti-depressant and anti-Parkinsonian activity (Van Der Zee & Hespe, 1978; Nilsson et al., 1969), and anti-histaminic (McGavack et al., 1948) and anti-spasmodic (Loew & Kaiser, 1945) action. Naturally occurring symmetrical bis(benzhydryl)ethers are also known to show promising therapeutic potential including significant anti-platelet aggregation efficacy (Pyo et al., 2004). In this article we report the crystal structure of 1,1',1'',1'''-(oxydimethanetriyl)tetrakis (4-fluorobenzene)
The molecular unit of 1,1',1'',1'''-(oxydimethanetriyl)tetrakis (4-fluorobenzene) is shown in Fig. 1. The dihedral angles between each pair of benzene rings are 80.55 (8)° [(C6–C11) 1 and (C13–C18) 2] and 79.11 (7)° [(C20–C25) 3 and (C26–C31) 4] respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by C7—H7···π Cg4[(C26–C31)] interactions and shows stacking when viewed along c axis. The bond distances and bond angles in the benzene ring system are in good agreement with those observed in related structures (Devarajegowda et al., 2011).
