Trimethyl citrate, C₉H₁₄O₇ (systematic name: trimethyl 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate), 2, was prepared by the esterification of citric acid and methanol in the presence of thionyl chloride at 273 K. The bond lengths and angles in 2 compare closely with those observed in citric acid. The C—C bonds adjacent to the terminal carboxyl groups are significantly shorter than those around the central C atom. The central carboxylate group and the hydroxy group occur in the normal planar arrangement with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0171 Å from the mean plane involving all six atoms in the central unit. The crystal structure is almost completely dominated by the formation of inversion dimers through an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond, together with an extensive array of weaker C—H⋯O contacts. These generate a three-dimensional network structure with molecules stacked along the c-axis direction.

Keywords: crystal structure; trimethyl citrate; hydrogen bonds; inversion dimers; ring motifs.

1. Chemical context

Esters of citric acid have received significant attention because of their many applications. Their use as plasticizers has grown because of their low toxicity, compatibility with the host materials and low volatility (Labrecque et al., 1997 ; Garg et al., 2014 ). They were investigated for use in degradable thermoset polymers (Halpern et al., 2014 ). In the biological field, trimethyl citrate is used to synthesize citrate-functionalized ciprofloxacin conjugates and their antimicrobial activities have been determined against a panel of clinically-relevant bacteria (Md-Saleh et al., 2009 ). Several different methods and catalysts have been employed for the synthesis of trimethyl citrate from citric acid and methanol using, for example, thionyl chloride (Ilewska & Chimiak, 1994 ) and zirconium(IV) dichloride oxide hydrate (Sun et al., 2006 ). We report here the esterification of citric acid to form trimethyl citrate, 2, together with its molecular and crystal structure.

2. Structural commentary

The title compound, 2, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P $[\overline{1}]$ , with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecular structure of the compound, with the atom labelling, is shown in Fig. 1. The bond lengths and angles in 2 are comparable to those observed in citric acid, 1 (Glusker et al., 1969 ; Roelofsen & Kanters, 1972 ; King et al., 2011 ). The C2—C3 and C5—C6 bonds [1.506 (2) and 1.502 (2) Å, respectively] that bridge the outer terminal carboxyl groups are significantly shorter than those around the central C4 atom [C3—C4 = 1.5405 (19), C4—C5 = 1.5348 (19) and C4—C8 = 1.5398 (18) Å], an observation that mirrors what occurs in glycine itself. The carbonyl groups C2—O2, C8—O7 and C6—O5 are clearly double bonds with similar bond lengths [1.2046 (18), 1.2036 (18) and 1.2082 (18) Å, respectively]. Furthermore, the marked discrepancy between the C(=O)—O and O—Me distances, with the latter significantly longer in all instances, reflects considerable delocalization in the C(=O)—O units. This is again consistent with what is seen in other similar structures. The central carboxylate group and the hydroxy group occur in the normal planar arrangement, with an O3—C4—C8—O6 torsion angle of −178.95 (11)° and an r.m.s. deviation of only 0.0171 Å from the best-fit mean plane through the O3, C4, C8, O7, O6 and C9 atoms.

3. Supramolecular features

In the crystal, classical O3—H3⋯O5 hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers enclosing R₂²(12) rings. These contacts are supported by weaker inversion-related C7—H7C⋯O7^v hydrogen bonds with R₂²(16) ring motifs (Table 1). These dimers are linked into chains parallel to (10 $[\overline{1}]$ ) by inversion-related C9—H9B⋯O2ⁱⁱⁱ contacts that also form R₂²(16) rings (Fig. 2). H atoms from both of the methylene groups in the molecule are also involved in inversion-dimer formation. Pairs of C3—H3A⋯O1ⁱⁱⁱ hydrogen bonds enclose R₂²(8) rings that are linked by R₂²(12) ring C5—H5A⋯O2^iv interactions into chains along the a-axis direction. Weaker C9—H9B⋯O3^vi hydrogen bonds further stabilize these chains (Fig. 3). The R₂²(12) ring C5—H5A⋯O2^iv interactions, mentioned previously, form more chains, this time linking another set of inversion dimers involving the R₂²(10) ring C9—H9C⋯O7^vii contacts. These contacts form chains of dimers that run along the ac diagonal (Fig. 4).

The only significant intermolecular contacts in the crystal structure not to result in inversion-dimer formation involve weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds formed by the peripheral C1 and central C9 methyl groups. C1 acts as a bifurcated donor forming C1—H1B⋯O4ⁱ and C1—H1C⋯O5ⁱⁱ contacts that combine with C9—H9B⋯O3^vi hydrogen bonds to generate a sheet of molecules in the ab plane (Fig. 5). Overall, this extensive array of both classical and nonclassical intermolecular contacts generates a three-dimensional network structure with molecules stacked along the c-axis direction (Fig. 6).

4. Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.39, updated February 2018; Groom et al., 2016 ) for the title compound gave no hits. In contrast, a search for the O₂CCH₂C(O)(CO₂)CH₂CO₂ fragment incorporating both organic and metal organic structures gave an impressive 404 hits. Limiting the search to organic structures, which eliminates the numerous metals salts of the citrate anions and the use of citrate as a ligand, reduced the hits to 124. In what follows, with few exceptions, only one or two recent examples of the plethora of different related systems are cited. The structure of citric acid itself has been reported several times, both in isolation (Glusker et al., 1969) and as the monohydrate (Roelofsen & Kanters, 1972; King et al., 2011). Eighteen examples of citric acid cocrystallized with various organic bases are also found (see, for example, Kerr et al., 2016 ; Wang et al., 2016 ). This search also revealed a lone neutral 1,5-dimethyl citrate (Li et al., 2007a ) and a single monoanionic dimethyl citrate derivative, (−)-brucinium (R)-1,2-dimethylcitrate hydrate (Bergeron et al., 1997 ), with no related dianions. No examples of 1-methyl citrate or any of its anions were found, but 6-methyl citrate with the carboxylate group on the central C atom has been reported (Li et al., 2007b ; Aliyu et al., 2009 ). In contrast, structures of more than 80 citrate anions have been reported; these included 48 monoanions with the proton lost from both the central (Inukai et al., 2017 ; Wang et al., 2017 ) and peripheral carboxylate OH groups (Abraham et al., 2016 ; Rammohan & Kaduk, 2016a ). Sixteen examples of citrate dianions (Rammohan & Kaduk, 2016b , 2017a ) and 17 citrate trianions (Rammohan & Kaduk, 2017b ,c ) were also found.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

Citric acid (0.01 mol, 2.00 g) was dissolved in absolute methanol (50 mL) and the solution was cooled in an ice-bath under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this solution, thionyl chloride (0.08 mol, 6.0 mL) was added dropwise with efficient stirring at 273 K for 1 h and the solution was left stirring overnight at 298 K (Fig. 7). The solvent was removed in vacuo and the solid residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (15 mL), dried over MgSO₄ and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the solid residue was purified by recrystallization from hexane/ethyl acetate (1:3 v/v) to yield 1.6 g (80%) of the title compound as white crystals.

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2. Atom H3 of the OH group was located in a difference Fourier map and its coordinates refined with U_iso(H) = 1.5U_eq(O). The resulting O3—H3 distance of 0.80 (2) Å was acceptable. All H atoms bound to carbon were refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.99 Å and U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(C) for CH₂ H atoms, and C—H = 0.98 Å and U_iso(H) = 1.5U_eq(C) for CH₃ H atoms.

Special details top

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.
