C—H...O and C—H...N inter­actions in three hexa­hydro­cyclo­octa­[b]pyridine-3-carbo­nitriles

The structures of three new pyridine derivatives, 2-meth­oxy-4-(4-meth­oxy­phenyl)-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexa­hydro­cyclo­octa­[b]pyridine-3-carbo­nitrile, C₂₀H₂₂N₂O₂, (I), 2-eth­oxy-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexa­hydro­cyclo­octa­[b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile, C₂₀H₂₁N₃O₃, (II), and 2-eth­oxy-4-(4-meth­oxy­phenyl)-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexa­hydro­cyclo­octa­[b]pyridine-3-carbo­nitrile, C₂₁H₂₄N₂O₂, (III), differ in the nature of the substituents either at the 2-position of the central pyridine ring or on the pendent aryl ring. This simple change in the structure substantially alters the inter­molecular inter­action patterns. The substituted phenyl group adopts a synclinal geometry with respect to the plane of the pyridine ring in all three compounds. In (I), a C—H...N inter­action results in a one-dimensional chain parallel to the b axis. In (II), there are two C—H...N(nitrile) inter­actions from different symmetry-related mol­ecules, resulting in a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane. There is also a weak C—H...O inter­action from the eth­oxy group to an adjacent nitro O atom. The present work is an example of how the simple replacement of a substituent in the main mol­ecular scaffold may transform the structure type, paving the way for a variety of supra­molecular motifs and consequently altering the complexity of the inter­molecular inter­action patterns.

S1. Introduction

The title compounds, (I)–(III), belong to the cyclo­alkeno­pyridine class of compounds. It is observed that many naturally occurring biologically active compounds feature a cyclo­alkeno­pyridine ring as the basic skeleton. This observation prompted the development of a range of synthetic methods to prepare pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals containing the cyclo­alkeno­pyridine ring as an important building block (Thummel, 2008). The synthesis of hydrogenated compounds has been extensively studied due to their inter­esting biological properties. For example, derivatives of 1,4-di­hydro­pyridine exhibit high biological activities as calcium channel blockers (Bossert et al., 1981) and as calcium agonists or antagonists (Triggle et al., 1980; Kokubun & Reuter, 1984; Bossert & Vater, 1989; Wang et al., 1989; Alajarin et al., 1995). Cyclo­octane compounds exhibit moderate to high anti­bacterial and anti­fungal effects against pathogenic microorganisms. For example, 2-[(4-sulfonamido­phenyl)­methyl­idene]cyclo­octa­none has an excellent activity against Listeria monocytogenes (Korany et al., 2011). The above observations prompted us to synthesize the title compounds containing cyclo­alkeno­pyridine carbo­nitrile groups and substituted pyridine scaffolds and to determine their crystal structures.

S2. Experimental

S2.1. Synthesis and crystallization

The solvent used in the reaction is incorporated in the product at position 2. In (I), methanol was used, whereas in (II) and (III) ethanol was the solvent.

The general reaction procedure is as follows. A mixture of cyclo­octa­none (1 mmol), 4-meth­oxy­benzaldehyde/3-nitro­benzaldehyde (1 mmol), malono­nitrile (1 mmol) and lithium ethoxide (1 equivalent) was heated to reflux in methanol or ethanol (10 ml) for 2–3 h. After completion of the reaction, as evidenced by thin-layer chromatograpy, the reaction mixture was poured into crushed ice and the resultant precipitate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The excess solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was subjected to column chromatography using a petroleum ether–ethyl acetate mixture (95:5 v/v) as eluent to obtain the pure products. For (I), yield 74%, m.p. 460–461 K; for (II), yield 64%, m.p. 394–396 K; for (III), yield 65%, m.p. 399–400 K.

S2.2. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1. H atoms were placed at calculated positions and allowed to ride on their carrier atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å, and with U_iso = 1.5U_eq(C) for methyl H atoms or 1.2U_eq(C) otherwise. In (III), atoms C4 and C5 of the cyclo­octane ring are each disordered over two sites and were refined with site-occupancy factors of 0.652 (9) and 0.348 (9).

S3. Results and discussion

In the molecular structures of (I) (Fig. 1), (II) (Fig. 2) and (III) (Fig. 3), the cyclo­octane ring adopts a twist-boat-chair conformation, as found in related structures (Xiong et al., 2007; Fun et al., 2010; Suresh et al., 2007).

The bond lengths and angles of the phenyl rings of (I)–(III) are consistent with those observed in similar structures (Patel et al., 2002a,b,c; Black et al., 1992; Hussain et al., 1996). The deviations of the nitrile atoms (C12 and N2) from the mean plane of the pyridine ring system (N1/C1/C8–C11) are -0.0422 (1) and -0.0896 (5) Å, respectively, in (I), -0.0081 (5) and -0.0416 (2) Å, respectively, in (II), and -0.0624 (4) and -0.1038 (1) Å, respectively, in (III), indicative of coplanarity.

The phenyl substituent at C9 of the pyridine ring has a (+)synclinal conformation in (I) and a (-)synclinal conformation in (II) and (III), which is evidenced by the C96—C91—C9—C10 torsion angles (see Tables 2, 3 and 4). The C10—C12 (Csp²—Csp) bonds in (I)–(III) tend towards aromatic bond lengths (see Table 1) rather than a σ-bond (~1.50 Å), presumably due to conjugation. However, the C12≡N2 bond lengths in (I)–(III) are apparently normal. The meth­oxy group in (I) and the eth­oxy group in (II) and (III) are coplanar with the plane of the attached pyridine ring, as can be seen from the C10—C11—O1—C13 and N1—C11—O1—C13 torsion angles. These torsion angles are similar to those in related structures (Ramesh, Subbiahpandi et al., 2009; Ramesh, Sundaresan et al., 2009).

There are phenyl–nitrile C—H···N inter­actions within the extended structures of (I) and (II) that are not present in (III). This inter­action results in a chain with graph-set motif of C(7) (Bernstein et al., 1995) (Figs. 4 and 5). The C92···N2ⁱ distance in (II) is noticeably lengthened compared with the same contact in (I) [see Tables 5, 6 and 7; symmetry code: (i) -x, y - 1/2, -z + 1/2]. However, the geometries of these hydrogen bonds remain essentially identical. The C···N contact in (II) is recognized as a perfect hydrogen bond, since the angle tends towards linearity.

In (I), a C92—H92···N2ⁱ inter­action links the molecules into pairs (Fig. 4). These pairs are further connected through a significant π–π stacking inter­action, Cg1···Cg1ⁱⁱ (Cg1 is the centroid of the pyridine ring), generating a linear chain, with Cg1···Cg1ⁱⁱ separations of 3.7526 (2) Å [symmetry code: (ii) -x, -y, -z + 1].

In the crystal structure of (II) (Fig. 5), atom C94 of the nitro­phenyl ring is involved in weak inter­molecular C94···H94···N2ⁱⁱ inter­action with cyano atom N2 of an inversion-related molecule, forming a hydrogen-bonded dimer and generating an R₂²(18) graph-set motif; these motifs are in turn linked through the C92—H92···N2ⁱ inter­action [symmetry codes: (i) -x, y - 1/2, -z + 1/2; (ii) -x, -y + 1, -z]. Meth­oxy atom C14 is involved in a C14—H14···O2ⁱⁱⁱ inter­action with nitro atom O2 of a symmetry-related molecule, generating a continuous parallel double chain with graph-set motif C(12) [symmetry code: (iii) x, y, z + 1].

The crystal structure of (III) (Fig. 6) has bifurcated intra­molecular C—H···O inter­actions. An inter­molecular C97—H97A···O2ⁱⁱ inter­action links inversion-related molecules into an aggregate, forming an R₂²(6) ring motif [symmetry code: (ii) -x + 1, -y, -z + 1] [Not the same definition as given in caption to Fig. 6 - please clarify]. An inter­molecular C92—H92···O1ⁱ inter­action forms a chain pattern running along the a axis generating a C(7) graph-set motif [symmetry code: (i) x - 1, y, z].

Special details

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.

Refinement. Refinement of F² against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of F² > σ(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F² are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.

Special details

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.

Refinement. Refinement of F² against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of F² > σ(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F² are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.

Special details

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 of F² against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of F² > 2sigma(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F² are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
