In the title compound, C16H14O, the cyclohexene ring has a half-chair conformation. The mean plane, calculated through all non-H atoms of the molecule, except for the central CH2 atoms of the cyclohexene ring, which deviate by 0.340 (3) and −0.369 (3) Å from this mean plane, has an r.m.s. deviation of 0.012 Å. In the crystal, there are C—H⋯π contacts present, resulting in the formation of zigzag chains propagating along the [010] direction.
Keywords: crystal structure; Diels–Alder reaction; Friedel–Crafts reaction; furan; tetrahydrobenzonaphthofuran; C—H⋯π interactions.

1. Chemical context
The interaction of Lewis acids with 1-naphthol 1 can be expected to induce metal coordination at the hydroxy function with concomitant increase in Brønsted-acidity (2) (Yamamoto & Futatsugi, 2005; Goering, 1995). It is conceivable that the proton, once released from this intermediate 2, adds reversibly to the 4-position with formation of adduct 3, which is the coordinated form of the keto-tautomer of 1. Even if only minute amounts of 3 were to be formed, this intermediate should be a highly reactive in Diels–Alder reactions with such dienes as cyclohexadiene 4 leading to adduct 5 (see Scheme). Such a transformation implies de-aromatization of 1-naphthol 1.
Alternatively, protonation of diene 4 leading to carbocation 6 would set the stage for Friedel–Crafts reaction with formation of the alkylation product 7, which could continue to react acid catalyzed, leading to adduct 8 and possibly to the aromatized furan product 9. In a previous study, Novák and coworkers reported the reaction of 1 with 4 in the presence of TsOH·H2O in boiling toluene (26 h) or at room temperature (7 d), furan derivative 9 being formed in 58% yield, presumably via the intermediacy of 7 and 8 (Orovecz et al., 2003; Novák et al., 2000).
In exploratory experiments, we tested Et2O·BF3, FeCl3, TiCl4 and ZrCl4 as Lewis acids in the reaction of 1 and 4 at room temperature in CH2Cl2. Essentially only products derived from formal Friedel–Crafts alkylation were identified following column chromatographic separation. Small amounts of unidentified compounds which could not be separated were also formed. A general protocol is provided. If a 2.5-fold excess of cyclohexadiene 4 is used in these reactions, only small amounts of Friedel–Crafts products are formed (3–4%). Rather, acid-mediated of diene 4 occurs.
In contrast to the acidic conditions employed by Novák and coworkers, using the present protocol we isolated compound 8 and characterized it for the first time. We report herein on the of the final product, furan 9.
2. Structural commentary
In the title compound 9, illustrated in Fig. 1, the cyclohexene ring (C1–C6) has a half-chair conformation. The mean plane, calculated through all non-hydrogen atoms of the molecule (O1/C1/C2/C5–C16), except atoms C3 and C4 of the cyclohexene ring that deviate by 0.340 (3) and −0.369 (3) Å from this mean plane, has an r.m.s. deviation of 0.012 Å. The other C and O atoms lie in this mean plane with a maximum deviation of −0.051 (3) Å for atom C2.
3. Supramolecular features
In the crystal of 9, there are C—H⋯π contacts present (Table 1 and Fig. 2), but no classical hydrogen bonds and no π–π interactions present. Intermolecular contacts thus appear to be limited to van der Waals interactions. The two rather short intermolecular C—H⋯ring centroid distances are: H5B⋯centroid of ring (C10–C15) = 2.69 Å, H8⋯centroid of ring (C7–C10/C15/C16) = 2.93 Å. These interactions result in the formation of zigzag chains propagating along the b-axis direction.
4. Database survey
Only one structure of a tetrahydrobenzonaphthofuran (Refcode PEBDAD; Scully & Porco, 2012) is present in the current version 5.36 of the CSD (Groom & Allen, 2014), and the cyclohexene ring also has a half-chair conformation.
5. Synthesis and crystallization
General Procedure: To a mixture of 1-naphthol (6.48 g, 45 mmol), catalyst (2.25 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 ml), 1,3-cyclohexadiene (0.7 ml, 22.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30 ml) was added drop wise, and the resulting solution was stirred at 273 K for 5 h. After completion of the reaction (TLC) at room temperature, a cold aqueous solution of NaHCO3 (5%, 20 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 10 ml). The organic extracts were washed with water (2 ×10 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuum. The crude product was purified by silica (petroleum ether) to give the desired product, which was identified by NMR spectroscopic comparison with authentic samples of 1, 2 and by X-ray (Fig. 1).

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