The title compounds, C24H22O6 (I) and C24H22O6 (II), each crystallize with half a mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The whole mol­ecule of compound (I) is generated by twofold rotation symmetry, the twofold axis bis­ecting the central benzene ring. The whole mol­ecule of compound (II) is generated by inversion symmetry, the central benzene ring being located on an inversion center. In (I), the outer benzene rings are inclined to each other by 59.96 (10)° and by 36.74 (9)° to the central benzene ring. The corresponding dihedral angles in (II) are 0.0 and 89.87 (12)°. In the crystal of (I), mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming ribbons propagating along the [10[\overline{1}]] direction. In the crystal of (II), mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supra­molecular framework. The Hirshfeld surface analyses indicate that for both compounds the H⋯H contacts are the most significant, followed by O⋯H/H⋯O and C⋯H/H⋯C contacts.

1. Chemical context

Vanillin, a phenolic compound, has been reported to offer neuroprotection against experimental Huntington's disease and global ischemia by virtue of its anti­oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti­apoptotic properties. Vanillin is a potential future therapeutic agent by virtue of its multiple pharmacological properties relevant to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (Dhanalakshmi et al., 2015[Dhanalakshmi, C., Manivasagam, T., Nataraj, J., Justin Thenmozhi, A. & Essa, M. M. (2015). Evid.-Based Complement. Altern. Med. pp. 1-11.]). Structural elements of vanillin have been observed to show anti­fungal activity (Fitzgerald et al., 2005[Fitzgerald, D. J., Stratford, M., Gasson, M. J. & Narbad, A. (2005). J. Agric. Food Chem. 53, 1769-1775.]). Studies have revealed that the root and pod extracts of the plants Heiidesmus Indicus and vanilla planifola (plant-based food-flavouring agents) produce the fragrant phenolic compounds 2-hy­droxy-4-meth­oxy­benz­aldehyde (MBALD) and 4-hy­droxy-3-meth­oxy­benzaldehyde (vanillin). These compounds have been shown to be effective in treating Alzheimer's disease and other neurological dysfunctions (Kundu & Mitra, 2013[Kundu, A. & Mitra, A. (2013). Plant Foods Hum. Nutr. 68, 247-253.]). Vanillin derivatives with various homocyclic or heterocyclic and hydro­phobic or hydro­philic moieties have shown tyrosinase inhibitory activity (Ashraf et al., 2015[Ashraf, Z., Rafiq, M., Seo, S. Y., Babar, M. M. & Zaidi, N. U. (2015). Bioorg. Med. Chem. 23, 5870-5880.]). In view of the inter­est in such compounds we have synthesized 4,4′-{[1,3-phenyl­enebis(methyl­ene)]bis(oxy)}bis­(3-meth­oxy­benzaldehyde) (I)[link] and 4,4′-{[(1,4-phenyl­ene­bis(methyl­ene)]bis­(­oxy)}bis­(3-meth­oxy­benzaldehyde) (II)[link], and report herein on their crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses.

2. Structural commentary

The mol­ecular structure of compound (I)[link] is shown in Fig. 1[link]. The asymmetric unit consists of half a mol­ecule, the other half being generated by twofold rotation symmetry; the twofold axis bis­ects atoms C11 and C13 of the central benzene ring. The dihedral angle between the central benzene ring (C10–C13/C10′/C12′) and the outer benzene ring (C2–C7/C2′–C7′) is 36.74 (9)° [symmetry code: (') −x + 2, y, −z + [{1\over 2}]). The outer benzene rings are inclined to each other by 59.96 (10)°. The acetaldehyde and meth­oxy­methane groups adopt extended conformations, as can be seen from the torsion angles C3—C2—C1—O1 = 180.0 (3)° and C5—C6—O2—C8 = −160.7 (3)°. Atoms C1 and O1 deviate from the plane of the benzene ring by 0.021 (2) and 0.034 (2) Å, respectively, while atoms O2 and C8 deviate from the plane of the benzene ring by −0.032 (2) and −0.471 (4)Å, respectively.

The mol­ecular structure of compound (II)[link] is shown in Fig. 2[link]. The asymmetric unit consists of half a mol­ecule, the other half being generated by inversion symmetry; the central benzene ring being situated about the inversion center. The outer benzene rings are parallel to each other and normal to the central benzene ring with a dihedral angle of 89.87 (12)°. The meth­oxy­methane and acetaldehyde groups adopt extended conformations, as can be seen from the torsion angles C5—C6—O2—C8 = 172.7 (2) Å and C7—C2—C1—O3 = −178.5 (3)°. Here, atoms O2 and C8 deviate from the plane of the benzene ring by −0.025 (2) and −0.211 (4) Å, respectively, while atoms C1 and O1 deviate from the plane of the benzene ring by 0.023 (3) and 0.056 (2) Å, respectively.

3. Supra­molecular features

In the crystal of (I)[link], mol­ecules are linked by C3—H3⋯Oi hydrogen bonds forming ribbons propagating along the [10[\overline{1}]] direction (Table 1[link] and Fig. 3[link]). Within the ribbons mol­ecules are also linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions (Table 1[link]), as shown in Fig. 4[link].

4. Hirshfeld surface analysis

The Hirshfeld surface analysis (Spackman & Jayatilaka, 2009[Spackman, M. A. & Jayatilaka, D. (2009). CrystEngComm, 11, 19-32.]) and the associated two-dimensional fingerprint plots (McKinnon et al., 2007[McKinnon, J. J., Jayatilaka, D. & Spackman, M. A. (2007). Chem. Commun. pp. 3814-3816.]) were performed using CrystalExplorer17 (Turner et al., 2017[Turner, M. J., McKinnon, J. J., Wolff, S. K., Grimwood, D. J., Spackman, P. R., Jayatilaka, D. & Spackman, M. A. (2017). CrystalExplorer17. University of Western Australia. https://hirshfeldsurface.net]).

The Hirshfeld surfaces of compounds (I)[link] and (II)[link] mapped over dnorm are given in Fig. 6[link]a and 6b, respectively. Views of the inter­molecular contacts in the crystals are shown in Figs. 7[link] and 8[link], for compounds (I)[link] and (II)[link], respectively. They are colour-mapped with the normalized contact distance, dnorm, from red (distances shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii) through white to blue (distances longer than the sum of the van der Waals radii). The blue region represents the positive electrostatic potential over the surface. The dnorm surface was mapped over a colour scale in arbitrary units of −0.156 (red) to 1.705 (blue) for compound (I)[link] and −0.207 (red) to 1.206 (blue) for compound (II)[link], where the red spots indicate the inter­molecular contacts involved in the hydrogen bonding.

The two-dimensional fingerprint plots [Fig. 9[link] for (I)[link] and Fig. 10[link] for (II)] are deconvoluted to highlight atom-pair close contacts by which different atomic types, overlapping the full fingerprint plot can be separated based on different inter­action types. For compound (I)[link], inter­molecular H⋯H contacts of 40.4% (Fig. 9[link]b) are the most significant, followed by 29.1% for O⋯H/H⋯O (Fig. 9[link]c), 26.4% for C⋯H/H⋯C (Fig. 9[link]d) and 3.1% for C⋯C (Fig. 9[link]e) contacts. In contrast, for compound (II)[link] the H⋯H contacts at 42.2% (Fig. 10[link]b) make a slightly higher contribution than in (I)[link], while the C⋯H/H⋯C contacts at 23.6% (Fig. 10[link]d) make a slightly lower contribution than in (I)[link]. The O⋯H/H⋯O contacts (Fig. 10[link]c) in both compounds are similar; 29.1% in (I)[link] cf. 29.0% in (II)[link].

5. Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD, Version 5.40, February 2019; Groom et al., 2016[Groom, C. R., Bruno, I. J., Lightfoot, M. P. & Ward, S. C. (2016). Acta Cryst. B72, 171-179.]) for similar compounds gave one hit for 1,3-bis­[(2-meth­oxy­phen­oxy)meth­yl]benzene (CSD refcode KACQEL; Bryan et al., 2003[Bryan, J. C., Hay, B. P., Sachleben, R. A., Eagle, C. T., Zhang, C. & Bonnesen, P. V. (2003). J. Chem. Crystallogr. 33, 349-355.]) but no hits for a 1,4-derivative. In KACQEL, the central benzene ring is inclined to the outer benzene rings by 67.60 (4) and 72.68 (6)°, while the outer benzene rings are inclined to each other by 69.61 (6)°. In compound (I)[link], the central benzene ring is inclined to the outer benzene ring(s) by 36.74 (9)°, while the outer benzene rings are inclined to each other by 59.96 (10)°. In compound (II)[link], the corresponding dihedral angles are 89.87 (2) and 0.0°, respectively.

A search for 4-benz­yloxy-3-meth­oxy­benzaldehydes gave eight hits. Apart from 4-benz­yloxy-3-meth­oxy­benzaldehyde itself (vanillin benzyl ether: COBNUC; Gerkin, 1999[Gerkin, R. E. (1999). Acta Cryst. C55, 2140-2142.]), the other hits include the 4-nitro­benz­yloxy derivative (VOHYUN; Li & Chen, 2008[Li, M. & Chen, X. (2008). Acta Cryst. E64, o2291.]), the 4-fluoro­benz­yloxy derivative (POMQIT; Bernard-Gauthier & Schirrmacher, 2014[Bernard-Gauthier, V. & Schirrmacher, R. (2014). Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 24, 4784-4790.]) and the 4-chloro­benz­yloxy derivative (WINROB; Liu et al., 2007[Liu, S.-X., Tian, X., Zhen, X.-L., Li, Z.-C. & Han, J.-R. (2007). Acta Cryst. E63, o4481.]). In VOHYUN, the 3-meth­oxy­benzaldehyde ring is inclined to the 4-benz­yloxy ring by 5.00 (11)°, while in COBNUC this dihedral angle is 78.11 (9)°. In POMQIT and WINROB, the corresponding dihedral angles are 69.02 (5) and 72.59 (19)°, respectively, similar to the values observed in KACQEL, viz. 67.60 (4) and 72.68 (6)°.

6. Synthesis and crystallization

Compound (I): To vanillin (0.63 g, 4.1 mmol) dissolved in 20 ml DMF was added potassium carbonate (1.7 g, 12.5 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature followed by addition of 1,3-bis­(bromo­meth­yl)benzene (0.5 g, 1.9 mmol). The reaction was allowed to proceed for 12 h. Then the reaction mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was collected and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product obtained was recrystallized by using ethyl acetate. Colourless block-like crystals were obtained on slow evaporation of the solvent (98%).

Compound (II): To vanillin (0.63 g, 4.1 mmol) dissolved in 20 ml DMF, was added potassium carbonate (1.7 g, 12.5 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature followed by addition of 1,4-bis­(bromo­meth­yl)benzene (0.5 g, 1.9 mmol). The reaction was allowed to proceed for 12 h. After the reaction mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, the ethyl acetate layer was collected and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was recrystallized by using ethyl acetate. Colourless block-like crystals were obtained on slow evaporation of the solvent (98%).

7. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3[link]. For both compounds, the hydrogen atoms were fixed geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms: C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C-meth­yl) and 1.2Ueq(N,C) for other H atoms.

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.

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.
