The structure of the 1:2 co-crystalline adduct C8H16N4·2C6H5BrO, (I), from the solid-state reaction of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD) and 4-bromophenol, has been determined. The of the title co-crystalline adduct comprises a half molecule of aminal cage polyamine plus a 4-bromophenol molecule. A twofold rotation axis generates the other half of the adduct. The primary inter-species association in the title compound is through two intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the adducts are linked by weak non-conventional C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, giving a two-dimensional supramolecular structure parallel to the bc plane.
Keywords: crystal structure; co-crystalline adducts; TATD; proton transfer; hydrogen bonding.

1. Chemical context
The main focus of the research in our laboratory is the synthesis of a variety of molecules using cyclic 3,8] dodecane (TATD) (II) with which, in solution, affords di-Mannich bases of type (III) (Rivera et al., 1993, 2005). These are common systems for the investigation of hydrogen bonding and proton transfer. Engaged in the development of greener synthetic pathways, we attempted a synthesis of a di-Mannich base under solvent-free conditions by simply grinding TATD and 4-bromophenol at room temperature without using any solvent in the initial step. We found that the reaction did not provide the di-Mannich base as desired. Instead, the title compound, (I), was obtained in good yield. The reaction is run in the absence of solvent, there are no by-products, and the work-up procedure is easy. Recrystallization in an appropriate solvent gave the title compound in high yield.
of the adamantane type. The prototype of these reactions is a Mannich-type reaction involving 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.12. Structural commentary
crystallized in the Fdd2 with one half-molecule of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD) and one molecule of 4-bromophenol in the a twofold rotation axis generates the other half of the adduct held together by two intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds [O⋯N 2.705 (5) Å; O—H⋯N 158 (7)°)] (Fig. 1). Unlike the situation in a related structure (Rivera et al., (2007), where a 1:1 adduct formed via an O—H⋯N hydrogen bond between TATD and hydroquinone, the title compound features an 1:2 adduct. Bond lengths in the TATD and 4-bromophenol molecules in (I) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable to those found in similar structures (Rivera et al., 2007; Tse et al., 1977). The H atom of the phenolic –OH group deviates slightly from the benzene ring plane, subtending a torsion angle of 8(5)°.
(I)A significant reduction in the O⋯N distance is observed when the distance and angle in the O1—H1⋯N1 hydrogen bond [O⋯N 2.705 (5) Å; O—H⋯N 158 (7)°)] in the title compound are compared to the values found in the TATD:hydroquinone, 1:1 adduct [O⋯N 2.767 (2) Å; O—H⋯N 156.3 (10)°)] (Rivera et al., 2007). Also, the C1—O1 bond length observed here [1.355 (6) Å], is shorter than that in the hydroquinone This indicates an increase in hydrogen-bonding strength in the title compound, which may be due to the considerable differences in the pKa values between the species involved in the hydrogen bond (Majerz et al., 1997). Compared to hydroquinone (pKa = 9.85), p-bromophenol is more acidic (pKa = 9.37) (Lide, 2003).
3. Supramolecular features
In the crystal of the title compound, the adducts are weakly linked peripherally through both non-conventional C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds (Table 1) giving a two dimensional supramolecular structure parallel to the bc plane. (Fig. 2). This is similar to the structure of the 4-bromophenol adduct with urotropine (Tse et al., 1977).
4. Database survey
A database search (CSD version 5.36, November 2014 plus two updates) for 4-bromophenol yielded 17 hits with 21 fragments. The mean C—O bond length in these structures is 1.35 (5) Å and the mean C—Br bond length is 1.91 (3) Å. These values are in excellent agreement with those of the title compound, i.e. O1—C1 1.355 (6) and Br1—C4 1.907 (5) Å.
A database search for 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane yielded only three hits, two determinations of the compound itself (Murray-Rust, 1974; Rivera et al., 2014) and a of the aminal with hydroquinone (Rivera et al., 2007). While the molecules of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane itself have 2m symmetry, the molecules in the of TATD with hydroquinone have mirror symmetry. In the title compound, on the other hand, the 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane molecule displays C2 symmetry.
5. Synthesis and crystallization
1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD) (0.21g, 1.25 mmol) and 4-bromophenol (0.43g, 2.5 mmol) were manually mixed in a mortar with pestle at room temperature for 20 min as required to complete the reaction (TLC). The mixture was then dissolved in a minimum amount of methanol and left to crystallize at room temperature. Subsequent recrystallization with MeOH then yielded the title compound as white crystals in 78% yield, m.p. = 367–368 K.

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. |
