The title compound, C
13H
6F
5NO, exists in the enol form and adopts the
E configuration about the enol double bond. It is the first example of an enol-type pyridinium ylide. The enol structure was unambiguously determined on the basis of the significantly longer C-O bond and shorter C-C bond. Intramolecular C-H
O and C-H
F hydrogen bonds are responsible for promotion of the enol form and for the stability of this compound.

Triethylamine (75 ml, 0.53 mmol) was added to a solution of
1-(2-oxo-2-(perfluorophenyl)ethyl)pyridinium bromide (129 mg, 0.35 mmol) in
CH2Cl2 (4 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The
product was extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layer
was dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and evaporated to give (I) (95.5 mg). The
recrystallization of (I) from CH2Cl2 gave yellow crystals suitable for
X-ray crystallographic analysis (yield 96%; decomposition point 377 K). IR
(KBr, ν, cm-1): 1634 (s), 1570 (m), 1484 (m), 1372
(s); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 9.50 (d, J
= 6.4 Hz, 2H), 7.58 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (m, 2H),
6.17 (s, 1H); MS m/z 287 (M+, 97%), 285 (100),
120 (48), 65 (51).
All H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and refined isotropically
without any restraints.

Special details top
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 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 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor
(gt). |

Pyridinium ylides are an important family of synthetic intermediates for a variety of organic compounds, such as indolidines (Tsuge et al., 1985; Kanemasa et al., 1989; Zhang et al., 2000; Wu & Chen, 2002; Kakehi, 2005; Xia et al., 2006) and cyclopropanes (Shestopalov et al., 1989; Vo et al., 1997; Kojima et al., 2000; Yamada et al., 2007). Among the various types of pyridinium ylides, pyridinium acylmethylides are often employed for organic synthesis because they can be readily prepared from the corresponding pyridinium salts with a base. These pyridinium ylides are generally unstable and are therefore used in reactions without isolation. However, when an electron-withdrawing group is attached to the C atom next to the pyridinium ring, the stabilization of the ylides increases significantly.
In the course of our research on the reactivity of pyridinium ylides (Yamada et al., 2007), we found that the title compound, (I), is significantly stable without having an electron-withdrawing group on the C atom next to the pyridinium ring. Moreover, the X-ray structure clarifies that the equilibrium in the keto–enol tautomerism is shifted significantly to the enol form.
A view of the molecular structure of (I) is given in Fig. 1. The pyridinium ring is almost coplanar with the enol plane, and the pyridinium and perfluorophenyl rings adopt the E configuration. The N1—C6—C7—O1 and N1—C6—C7—C8 torsion angles are 0.2 (2) and -178.72 (13)°, respectively, suggesting double-bond character for the C6—C7 bond.
Several pyridinium ylides have previously been structurally characterized to date, all of them with an electron-withdrawing group at C6 contributing to the stabilization of the anionic charge. The bond lengths around the anions of these compounds are compared with those of (I) in Table 1. The C6—C7 distances for the reported pyridinium ylides are in the range 1.411–1.443 (5) Å, and the C7—O1 distances occur between 1.211 (3) and 1.242 (s.u.?) Å. The C6—C7 bond length of 1.3648 (19) Å in (I) is the shortest value ever reported for a pyridinium ylide and is also much shorter than the general Csp2—Csp2 bond length (Allen et al., 1987). It is, however, very close to that of the Csp2═Csp2 bond of a classic enol tautomer (Allen et al., 1987) and is also close to the reported value of 1.360 (13) Å for the C═C double bond in lithium 3,3-dimethyl-1-buten-2-olate [Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.28; Allen, 2002) refcode DETRAV (Laube et al., 1985)]. In contrast, the C7—O1 distance of 1.257 (2) Å is the longest value among those reported and is intermediate between a C═O double bond and a C—O single bond. The relatively shorter N1—C6 distance of (I) is also in agreement with the sp2 character of atom C6. These observed bond lengths strongly suggest that this pyridinium ylide exists in the enol form. It is important to note that when the perfluorophenyl ring was replaced with a phenyl ring, the ylide became unstable and could not be isolated. Therefore, the perfluorophenyl ring determines the stability of the pyridinium ylide.
The crystal structure of (I) is built up by two intramolecular C—H···O and C—H···F hydrogen bonds and two intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···F hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Table 2) which are the result of the partial negative charges on O and F. The intramolecular C5—H5···O1 hydrogen bond results in the small C1—N1—C6—C7 torsion angle [7.7 (2)°]. The C5···O1 distance is much shorter than those of the other related pyridinium ylides, suggesting a stronger interaction for this hydrogen bond. On the other hand, the -56.04 (19)° torsion angle of C6—C7—C8—C9 is the result of the attractive C6—H6···F1 interaction and electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged O and F atoms. These hydrogen bonds promote the formation of the enol form.
Molecules of (I) in the crystal structure are linked through two weak C—H···F and C—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the a axis (Fig. 2). Atoms C5 and C6 in the molecule at (x, y, z) act as hydrogen-bond donors via atoms H5 and H6 to atoms C5 and F5 in the molecule at (x - 1/2, -y + 1/2, z). There are no other significant intermolecular interactions.
In summary, the significantly longer C—O and shorter C—C bond lengths around the anionic moiety demonstrate that the ylide (I) exists in the enol form. The perfluorophenyl group is responsible for the stability and promotion of the enol tautomer through intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
