The natural compound hobartine {systematic name: (1R)-3-[(1S,5S)-(4,4,8-trimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole}, C20H26N2, (I), is an indole alkaloid isolated from Aristotelia chilensis as part of a study of secondary metabolites from Chilean flora. The colourless compound has a tetra­cyclic structure closely related to the strongly coloured polymorphic structures discussed in Paz et al. [Acta Cryst. (2013), C69, 1509–1512] and Watson et al. [Acta Cryst. (1989), C45, 1322–1324]. The main differences reside in the absence of a keto group in (I) compared with the previous structures, as well as an endo double bond in (I) contrasting with the exo double bond found in the previous structures. The supra­molecular structure of (I) in strongly related to the twofold screw axis, around which isolated chains build up, inter­nally linked by an N—H...N hydrogen bond which is the only significant inter­molecular inter­action present in the structure.

Introduction top

Aristotelia chilensis ([Molina] Stuntz, Elaecarpaceae) is a native Chilean tree commonly known as maqui. It is used particularly as an anti-inflammatory agent against kidney pains, stomach ulcers, diverse digestive ailments (tumors and ulcers), fever and healing injuries (Bhakuni et al. 1976). The fruit is a black berry well known for its high concentration of phenolic compounds. Maqui berries are a healthy fruit with high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) anti­oxidant properties (Céspedes et al. 2010). Indole alkaloids have been identified from extracts of maqui, such as aristoteline, aristotelone (Bhakuni et al., 1976), aristotelinine and aristone (Bittner et al., 1978). Continuing our study of naturally occurring products from the Chilean flora, we have isolated from Aristotelia chilensis the indole alkaloid hobartine, (I), which we have characterized by NMR spectroscopy. [No data or information given; remove statement?]

Even if the presence of hobartine in Aristotelia chilensis had not been reported, the compound was known to be present in Aristotelia Peduncularis (Hesse, 1979), and a number of syntheses of the alkaloid have been performed since its discovery (for example, Stevens & Kenney, 1983; Darbre et al., 1984; Gribble & Barden, 1985; Galli et al., 2002). All these latter reports gave the absolute configuration shown in Scheme 1, viz. 9R,12S,14S.

In addition, the compound is closely related to 8-oxo-9-de­hydro­makomakine (II) (Scheme 2), of a similar origin (Aristotelia chilensis) and previously reported in Paz et al. 2013, which was obtained in two polymorphic forms with a remarkable colour difference, viz. crystal of (IIa) were deep red and those of (IIb) were pale yellow.

In order to ascertain unambiguously the relative position of the double bonds in the structure, as well as to confirm the relative configurations of the asymmetric centres, we analyze herein the thus far unreported crystal structure of hobartine, (I). We shall also discuss similarities and differences with polymorphs (IIa) and (IIb).

Experimental top

Extraction, purification and crystallization top

A. chilensis (maqui) was collected in Concepción, VIII Region of Chile (S 36° 50' 01.51'' W 73° 01' 53.75'') in December 2012. Leaves (20 kg) were dried at 313 K, powdered and macerated for 7 d in water acidified with HCl to pH 3. The water layer (50 l) was then separated by filtration, made basic with NaOH to pH 10 and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 20 l). The organic layer was concentrated in vacuo to obtain a crude alkaloid fraction. The alkaloid extract was chromatographed on aluminum oxide and eluted with a hexane, hexane–ethyl acetate (1:1 v/v), ethyl acetate, ethyl acetate–methanol (8:2 v/v) gradient. The preparative chromatography was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC; silica gel) and revealed using UV light and, later, Dragendorff's reagent; those fractions showing similar TLC patterns were pooled and subsequently purified by chromatography with the same procedure to give nine fractions. Fraction 8 (2.1 g) was applied to a Sephadex LH-20 column (EtOAc) and further separated by silica-gel CC (200–300 mesh, EtOAc 100%) afforded hobartine (yield 60 mg). Compound (I) was obtained as a white solid from ethyl acetate and was recrystallized from methanol producing colourless crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis.

Refinement top

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1. All H atoms were identified in an inter­mediate difference map and treated differently in the refinement. H atoms on C atoms were idealized and allowed to ride both in coordinates as in displacement parameters, the latter taken as Uiso(H)= xUeq(C), with C—H = 0.93 Å and x = 1.2 for aromatic, C—H = 0.97 Å and x = 1.2 for methyl­ene, and C—H = 0.96 Å and x = 1.5 for methyl groups. H atoms attached to N atoms were refined freely. The use of Mo Kα radiation for data collection precluded a trustable determination of the absolute structure from diffraction data alone and the reported configuration was chosen in accordance to the one unanimously agreed in synthetic works in the literature, viz. C9(R), C12(S) and C14(S).

Results and discussion top

Fig. 1 shows an ellipsoid plot of the alkaloid. The molecule is made up of a planar indole and a bulky aza­bicycle joined by a central –CH2– bridge. It is precisely in this bridge where the main differences with the already reported polymorphs of 4,4-di­methyl-8-methyl­ene-3-aza­bicyclo­[3.3.1]non-2-en-2-yl 3-indolyl ketone, denoted (IIa) (Paz et al., 2013) and (IIb) (Watson et al., 1989), are apparent, the site in (IIa)/(IIb) being sp2 hybridized and occupied by a ketone group, instead of the sp3 methyl­ene group seen in (I). The effect extends to the neighbouring C9 atom, also with sp2 hybridization in (IIa)/(IIb), but a chiral sp3 hybridization in (I). These gross differences are clearly reflected in the distances, angles and torsion angles in the neighbourhood of atom C8, as given in Table 2 where a brief comparison on corresponding data in (I), (IIa) and (IIb) is made.

In this regard, it is worth noting that the most relevant difference between the (lively coloured) polymorphic forms (IIa) and (IIb) was found to be the torsion angle between the indolyl ketone system and the planar portion of the heterocyclic six-membered ring [C3—C8—C9—N10 = -47.8 (6)° in (IIa) versus -20.2 (3)° in (IIb)]. The responsibility for the colour variation was precisely ascribed to this difference in the degree of electronic conjugation it would give rise to. The fact that (I) presents no conjugation whatsoever in this bridging section [C3—C8—C9—N10 = -74.3 (3)°], while its crystals are strictly colourless seems to support this idea put forward in Paz et al. (2013).

Regarding the geometries of the two well-defined groups, the rigid indole and the more flexible 3-aza­bicycle. The former one does not show, as expected, any relevant difference departing from standard uncertainties. Sensible differences are found, however, in the latter and they mainly involve the single (s) or double (d) character which in (I), (IIa) and (IIb) present the bonds C9—N10 (s/d), C11—C16 (d/s) and C11—C17 (s/d) in a (I)/(IIa)/(IIb) sequence, as well as the already mentioned sp3/sp2 character of atom C9 (Scheme 2). These differences lead to the misfit schematically shown in Fig. 2, where the three nuclei have been superposed by forcing the least-squares fit of those atoms not involved in the (s)/(d) bonding issue, viz. C12, C13, C14, C15 and C18.

In order to assess in a more qu­anti­tative way the real significance of these differences in the overall geometry of the `cage' four representative distances are represented in Table 3. Summarizing, they tell us that the eight-membered group in (I) is more `closed' (first entry) and that the `apical' C13 is sensibly leaned toward C16. Even if these differences may seem important, they appear small as compared with the spread of values found in similar 3-aza­bicycles in the literature (Table 3) which confirms that the group is rather flexible irrespective of its apparent closure.

Regarding the supra­molecular structure in (I), there is only one significant inter­molecular inter­action, involving the indole N1—H1N as donor, and hetherocyclic atom N10 as acceptor (Table 4); on the other hand, atom H10N is not involved in any hydrogen bond, as no further acceptor is available in the structure.

The N—H···Nhydrogen bond connects neighbouring molecules into a C(7) chain structure (Bernstein et al., 1995) running along b and built up around the twofold screw axis (Fig. 3a). Incidentally, this pattern is frequently found in compounds crystallizing in the few enanthio­meric space groups with screw axes; as a matter of fact it has also been found in polymorphs (IIa) and (IIb), even cosidering the different space groups (P212121 versus P21) and different synthons (N—H···N versus N—H···O) involved in the inter­action.

These [010] chains are almost non-inter­active, with no mentionable link connecting them short of diffuse dispersion forces. This is observable in Fig. 3(b) (where chains are viewed alongside), and qu­anti­tatively assessed by the rather low packing index of 63.8 (Kitaigorodsky, 1973), as calculated in PLATON (Spek, 2009). As a comparison, packing indices for structures (IIa) and (IIb) are about 4–5% larger, viz. 66.3 for (IIa) and 67.3 for (IIb).

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.
