Comment top

Piperidines are valuable heterocyclic compounds found in natural substances and pharmaceutical products (Rubiralta et al., 1991; Jain et al., 2005; Kubota et al., 1998). Several 2,6-substituted piperidine derivatives were found to be useful as tranquilisers (Boehringer & Söhne GmbH, 1961) and possess a wide range of biological activities such as antiviral, antimalarial, antibacterial and antifungal activities (Aridoss et al., 2009, Mobio et al., 1989). In view of the above importance, the crystallographic study of the title compound has been carried out to establish its molecular structure.

The ORTEP plot of the molecule is shown in Fig. 1. The piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation with puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) and asymmetry parameters (Nardelli, 1983): q2=0.0420 (15) Å, q3 = -0.5799 (15) Å, ϕ2 = 190 (2)° and Δs (N1& C4)= 0.75 (12)°. The phenyl rings at 2,6-positions of the piperidine ring occupy equatorial positions. The corresponding torsion angles are [C13—C2—C3—C4] -178.62 (11)° & [C4—C5—C6—C7] 177.89 (12)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 60.0 (7)°. The phenyl rings [C7—C12 & C13—C18] are twisted away from the best plane of the piperidine moiety by 81.04 (7)° & 81.10 (7)°, respectively. The molecules in the unit cell are connected by C—H ···π interactions (Fig. 2 & Table. 1; Cg1 is the centroid of the ring C13 to C18 and Cg2 is the centroid of the ring C7 to C12).

Experimental top

A mixture of piperidin-4-one (10 mM) and 80% hydrazine hydrate (3.1 ml) in diethylene glycol (100 ml) was heated on a steam bath for 2 hrs (Ponnuswamy et al., 2002). Potassium hydroxide pellets (2.8 g) were added to the mixture and the contents were allowed to reflux vigorously on a heating mantle for another 2 hrs and the reaction mixture was cooled. The product formed was filtered and recrystallized from ethanol.

Refinement top

All H atoms were found in a difference map. Nevertheless, those bonded to C were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93–0.98 Å) and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atom bonded to N was freely refined.

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.
