The title compound, C19H16F4O4, was prepared by the condensation reaction of 2,6-difluorobenzaldehyde and pentaerythritol. The whole molecule is generated by twofold rotational symmetry. The two six-membered O-heterocycles adopt chair conformations through a shared spiro-carbon atom that is located on the crystallographic twofold rotation axis. In this conformation, the two aromatic rings are located at the equatorial positions of the O-heterocycles. The conformation of this doubly substituted tetraoxaspiro system is chiral. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (100). These layers are linked by C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional structure.

Tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecanes derived from pentaerythritol are a class of the oxo-spirocyclic compounds. 3,9-disubstituted spirocyclic compounds have interesting stereochemical properties like axial
and play important roles in the fields like, pesticide chemistry (Cismaş et al., 2005), medicinal chemistry (Sondhi et al., 2009), and materials chemistry (Sauriat-Dorizon et al., 2003). Due to their stereochemical properties (Mihiş et al., 2008), these compounds in the solid state always adopt chiral conformations, and are built from opposite enantiomers (Sun et al., 2010), as shown below.In the title compound, (I), the molecule is consisted of the identical two components though a shared spiro-C9 atom with a crystallographic two-fold symmetry axis (Fig. 1). The two six-membered heterocycles both adopt chair conformation. And the two aromatic residues both are located in the equatorial positions (atom C7) of the tetra-oxaspiro skeleton, through the staggered structure with the six-membered heterocycles, with the torsion angle O1—C7—C6—C1 of -112.5 (2) °.
The phenyl rings, as groups are much larger than hydrogen atoms, are located at the equatorial positions (atom C7) of six-membered O-heterocycles, while the H7 atoms are placed at the axial positions. In the oxo-spirocyclic skeleton, the distance between atoms O1 and O1A is longer than the distance between atoms O2 and O2A, with difference in value of ca. 1.115 Å. The molecule looks like a two-bladed propeller with the dihedral angle between the mean planes of (C1–C6) and (C1A–C6A) equal to 82.9 (5) °. Two opposite enantiomers, with equal numbers, are present in the crystal (Fig. 2) with a centrosymmetric
(C2/c).The packing of molecules of (I), is determined by the presence of numerous weak intermolecular interactions (Table 1). The C10—H10B···O1 interactions link the same molecules with the identical configurations R or S, respectively, into parallel chains along the b axis, furthermore, the C8—H8A···O2 interactions link the R and S chains alternatively along the c axis into a two-dimensional layered reticulate structure (Fig. 3) in bc plane. The donors and acceptors of the C—H···O interactions are barely constituted by the C and O atoms from the oxo-spirocyclic skeleton.
In crystalline states, those achiral layered structures are stacked into a three-dimensional structure by weak C—H···F intermolecular interactions between the same enantiomers (Fig. 4 and Table 1). It is worth mentioning that the C—H···F interactions constitute left/right-handed homochiral helical chains along the b axis (Fig. 4), with left-handed helical chains of the molecules of R configuration (Fig. 4a), and right-handed helical chains of S conformation molecules (Fig. 4c). And, we can clearly see that each helix in the homochiral chains consists of two molecules, with a pitch of 5.5627 (11) A (Fig. 4a). The two kinds of helical chains are arranged parallel to each other in the vertical direction of bc plan, with the same-handed chains along the a axis, and the different-handed chains along the c axis alternatively (Fig. 4b).
A catalytic quantity (0.04, 0.2 mmol) of p-toluenesulfonic acid was added to a solution of 2,6-difluorobenzaldehyde (1.14 g, 8 mmol) and pentaerythritol (0.52 mg, 3.8 mmol) in toluene (40 ml), and this mixture was then heated under reflux for 4 h in a flask equipped with a condenser and a water trap. The solution was washed with the sodium carbonate solution (10 %). Then, the organic layer was separated and the solvent was evaporated under the vacuum conditions and the residue was dried. The resulting solid product, (yield: 80%; m.p.: 509.5 - 510.2 K), was recrystallized from ethanol. The colourless crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction, were also grown from ethanol. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-D6): δ 3.68–3.81(m, 4H), 3.94–3.98 (d, 2H), 4.66–4.69 (d, 2H), 5.89 (s, 2H), 7.11–7.17 (t, 4H), 7.46–7.53 (m, 2H).

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. |
