The title compound was unwittingly obtained from the slow evaporation of a saturated solution of commercial benserazide hydro­chloride. The mol­ecule is composed of two planar 4-methyl­quinoline aromatic moieties, almost perpendicular to each other, bridged by an O atom. The supra­molecular organization consists of a π-bonded chain.

Chemical context top

Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, resulting from the death of dopamine-generating cells, mostly located in the mid-brain. The most obvious symptoms are movement-related: uncontrolled shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty in walking. However, behavioral problems and psychiatric depression may also arise (Samii et al., 2004). Symptomatic treatment of Parkinson's disease includes daily dopamine administration, principally through L-DOPA (or levodopa) or carbidopa (both being precursors of dopamine) brain metabolization.

Benserazide [also called Serazide or Ro–4–4602, (II) in the Scheme] is an aromatic L-amino acid de­carboxyl­ase inhibitor and a DOPA de­carboxyl­ase inhibitor unable to cross the blood–brain barrier. It is used in combination with levodopa for the symptomatic management of Parkinson's disease (Clark et al., 1973; Campanella & Pennetta, 1974; Bortolanza et al., 2015).

As benserazide is always administered in combination therapy, it appeared to be a good candidate to search for a solid-state crystalline phase involving it with another therapeutic molecule, also active in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, little information could be retrieved on the structural aspects of benserazide and, as a first step, recrystallization attempts of the molecule alone have been launched. These crystallization assays have been so far fruitless, but resulted instead in the unwitting obtention of a new molecule, 2,2'-oxybis(4-methyl­quinoline) (C20H16ON2), (I), which is reported herein.

Structural commentary top

The geometry of (I) is fairly predi­cta­ble, with all bond lengths and valence angles being in the expected range for organic compounds (Allen et al., 1987). The molecule consists of two planar 4-methyl­quinoline aromatic moieties [the maximum deviations from the least-squares plane are 0.0104 (18) Å for C1 in the N1,C1–C9 moiety and 0.016 (2) Å for C13 in the N2,C11–C19 unit], almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle = 89.5 (2)°] and bound by an oxygen atom which forms an ether link (Fig. 1).

Supra­molecular features top

The crystal packing organization is essentially the result of two different types of π-stacking inter­actions involving inversion-related molecules. Table 1 gives a survey of these ππ stacking inter­actions, in one case around (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) (Fig. 2) and in the other case around (0, 0,0 );(1, 1, 1) (Fig. 3). The overall effect of these inter­actions is the formation of chains parallel to [111] (Fig. 4). As expected from the lack of efficient hydrogen-bond donors, no significant hydrogen bonds linking the chains are present in the structure, as a result of which their mutual inter­action is rather weak.

Database survey top

A systematic research in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Version 5.35, update November 2014; Groom & Allen, 2014) using ConQuest (Bruno et al., (2002) revealed some structures fairly similar to (I), which are presented in Fig. 5 and identified by their CSD refcodes: MOSLAI (Hassan et al., 2009) and JUBRAZ (Liu et al., 1992), the main difference residing in the number and relative position of the nitro­gen atoms in the aromatic rings.

Synthesis and crystallization top

Prismatic colourless crystals of 4-methyl-2-[(1-methyl­isoquinolin-3-yl)­oxy]quinoline were grown from a 2 ml aqueous saturated solution of benserazide hydro­chloride (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany; purity level claimed > 98%) (9.3 mg) allowed to evaporate slowly at room temperature over 7 days.

Several trials of slow evaporation of aqueous solutions under different temperature conditions (from 277 to 313 K) provided in all cases the same crystals, with the same unit-cell parameters. The main assumption is that the benserazide hydro­chloride has undergone a fundamental structure transformation during the aqueous recrystallization assays, but work is in progress to understand the mechanism, which does not seem to be obvious. Compound (I) could also be a by-product coming from a earlier step in the benserazide synthesis process (even if the qu­antity of crystalline material retrieved is really important). A calorimetric study has been undertaken on the crystalline material, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) provides an onset temperature (considered as the melting point) of 419.3 K, with no significant endo- or exothermic event before the fusion point. No spontaneous recrystallization occurs when the melt is allowed to cool down.

Refinement top

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2. The methyl H atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and their positions refined freely. All other H atoms were placed at idealized positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.

Cg1, Cg2, Cg3 and Cg4 are the centroids of the N1/C1–C5, N2/C11–C15, C4–C9 and C14–C19 rings, respectively. Cg···Cg is the intercentroid distance, the dihedral angle is between the ring planes and mpd is the mean perpendicular distance between a centroid and the opposite plane.
