The reaction of diethyl malonate with phthaloyl chloride in acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine and magnesium chloride results in the formation of the title compound, diethyl 2-(3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-1-ylidene)propanedioate, C15H14O6. One of the ester groups of the diethyl malonate fragment is almost coplanar with the isobenzofuran unit, while the plane of the other group is perpendicular to it [dihedral angles = 5.45 (3) and 83.30 (3)°, respectively]. The C—C and C—O distances both in the heterocyclic furan ring and the diethyl malonate fragment are indicative of the dipolar delocalization occurring within the isobenzofuran unit. This delocalization is likely to be responsible for the unusual intermolecular O⋯O contact [2.756 (2) Å], established between the O atom of the furan ring and the carbonyl O atom of the diethyl malonate fragment. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O interactions are observed, which link the molecules into [100] chains.

1. Chemical context
The structural analysis of diethyl 2-(3-oxoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-ylidene)malonate (I) was undertaken as part of a study into the synthesis of new reagents for the recovery of trivalent lanthanide metal ions by liquid–liquid extraction. We intended to prepare 2,2′-phthaloylbis(N,N,N′,N′-tetrabutylmalonamide) (II), which is similar to the reported earlier 2,2′-[1,2-phenylenebis(methylene)]bis(N,N,N′,N′-tetrabutylmalonamide) (III) (Tyumentsev et al., 2016), from the respective tetraethyl 2,2′-phthaloyldimalonate (IV). In turn (IV) was to be made by the reaction of diethyl malonate with phthaloyl chloride. It is already known that acid chlorides react with diethyl malonate when treated with a combination of triethylamine and a mild (magnesium chloride) in acetonitrile (Rathke & Cowan, 1985). Instead of (IV), an organic product, which contained two ethyl groups in different electronic environments, was obtained in this reaction. Crystals of this compound were grown and examined with single-crystal X-ray diffractometry, and the product was found to be the title compound, (I). The formation of (I) can be rationalized by the nucleophilic attack of the oxygen atom (in an enol form) of the keto-diethylmalonate group on the carbon atom of the unreacted acid chloride group. The mechanism of the formation of (I) was proposed by Naik et al. (1988), who obtained this compound by another reaction.
2. Structural commentary
Compound (I) crystallizes with one molecule in the (Fig. 1). Atoms C8, C9, C10, C11, C12, O9 and O10 are almost coplanar with the isobenzofuran unit (r.m.s. deviation = 0.024 Å), as shown by the dihedral angle of 5.45 (3)° between these groupings. This mean plane is intercepted nearly perpendicularly by the mean plane of the other ester group (O12, C12, O13, C13, and C14), with a dihedral angle of 83.30 (3)° and the torsion angles C9—C8—C12—O12 and C9—C8—C12—O13 of 90.2 (1)° and −89.6 (1)°, respectively. The bond lengths in the carbocyclic ring of the isobenzofuran unit range from 1.386 (2) Å to 1.398 (2) Å. In the heterocyclic furan ring the distances C2—C2A = 1.469 (2) Å and C6A—C7 = 1.472 (2) Å are very similar, while the C2—O1 and C7—O1 distances are significantly different. The C2—O1 bond distance of 1.394 (1) Å perfectly matches the corresponding distances in phthalic anhydride [1.396 (5) Å and 1.393 (6) Å (Bates & Cutler, 1977)]. The shorter C7—O1 distance of 1.385 (1) Å strongly suggests that the bond between the endocyclic oxygen atom O1 and the non-carbonyl carbon atom C7 has an order greater than 1. In the diethyl malonate fragment the distances C8—C9 [1.489 (2) Å] and C8—C12 [1.507 (1) Å] are different most likely due to the particular conformation adopted by the molecule. The bond lengths for the atoms, associated with both the furan ring of the isobenzofuran unit and the diethyl malonate fragment, indicate that the dipolar resonance form (Ia) of (I) makes a considerable contribution to its overall molecular electronic structure (Fig. 2).
According to the structure of the resonance form (Ia) a partial positive charge is localized on the oxygen atom of the heterocyclic furan ring, and one of the carbonyl oxygen atoms of the diethyl malonate fragment carries a partial negative charge, which should lead to an electrostatic attraction of these two oxygen atoms. In the structure of (I) the O1 and O9 atoms are nearly coplanar (the torsion angles C7—C8—C9—O9 and C9—C8—C7—O1 equal to −10.6 (2)° and 0.7 (2)°, respectively), and the distance O1⋯O9 is 2.756 (2) Å. It can be argued that simple electrostatic attraction is responsible for this close contact.
3. Supramolecular features
The possible non van der Waals contact in the crystal of (I) is a very weak C—H⋯O interaction (Table 1), which links the molecules into [100] C(8) chains. A parallel-displaced π–π stacking interaction between molecules of (I) is observed with an interplanar distance of 3.423 Å (Fig. 3) and intermolecular furan–benzene and benzene–benzene centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.5379 (13) and 3.7859 (14) Å, respectively.
4. Database survey
In the structure of 3-(3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-ylidene)pentane-2,4-dione (HIFQUJ; Portilla et al., 2007) the dominant resonance form resembles (Ib). No contact was observed between the endocyclic oxygen atom and the carbonyl oxygen atom of the acetyl group (the distance between these atoms exceeds 4 Å). In 2-methoxyethyl 3-oxo-2-(3-oxo-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-ylidene)butanoate (UBAVIE; Mkrtchyan et al., 2011), no close contacts exist between the endocyclic oxygen atom and any other oxygen atoms.
In methyl 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-(3-oxo-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-ylidene)pentanoate (UBAVEA; Mkrtchyan et al., 2011), neither of the two carbonyl oxygen atoms of the methyl 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxopentanoate fragment are within the same plane as the isobenzofuran unit. The shortest intermolecular O⋯O contact is 3.161 Å, which occurs between the endocyclic oxygen atom and that carbonyl oxygen atom, which is closest to the plane of the isobenzofuran unit. The torsion angle O4—C15—C9—C8 in UBAVEA is 26.81°, while the corresponding torsion angle in (I), C7—C8—C9—O9, is 10.6 (2)°.
5. Synthesis and crystallization
The title compound was prepared by the reaction of diethyl malonate with phthaloyl chloride in acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine and magnesium chloride (Rathke & Cowan, 1985). The reagents for the synthesis were purchased from Aldrich and were used as supplied. The crude product was washed with petroleum ether on filter paper and recrystallized from cyclohexane solution as colorless crystals (69% yield); m.p. 345–346 K. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.38 (m, 6H), 4.39 (m, 4H), 7.72 (t, J = 6.7 Hz, 1H), 7.80 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 1H), 7.99 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 1H), 8.65 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 1H). 13C NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 135.36; 132.93; 127.58; 126.11; 125.84; 62.18; 62.06; 14.04; 14.01. Found: C, 62.08; H, 4.94%. C15H14O6 Theoretical: C, 62.07; H, 4.86%. The crystalline product was found to be stable to air, water and brief exposure to 1 M hydrochloric acid.

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. |
Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt). |
