The title mol­ecule, C40H32O6, possesses crystallographically imposed twofold symmetry, with the central two C atoms of the naphthalene unit sited on the rotation axis. The two 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups in the mol­ecule are twisted away from the attached naphthalene unit, with a torsion angle of 66.76 (15)° between the naphthalene unit and the carbonyl group (C—C—C=O), and are oriented in mutually opposing directions (anti orientation). There is an apparent difference in the conformations of the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups at the 1- and 8-positions of the naphthalene ring between the title mol­ecule and its meth­oxy-bearing homologue [Hijikata et al. (2010). Acta Cryst. E66, o2902–o2903]. Whilst the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups in 2,7-diisoprop­oxy-1,8-bis­(4-phen­oxy­benz­oyl)naphthalene [Yoshiwaka et al. (2013). Acta Cryst. E69, o242] are situated in the same anti orientation as the title mol­ecule, those of 2,7-dimeth­oxy-1,8-bis­(4-phen­oxy­benzo­yl)naphthalene are oriented in the same direction with respect to the naphthalene ring system, i.e. in a syn orientation.

Introduction top

Recently, our group found that aroylation reactions of 2,7-di­meth­oxy­naphthalene with arene­carb­oxy­lic acid derivatives selectively afforded peri-aroylated naphthalene derivatives, i.e. 1-aroyl- and 1,8-diaroyl-2,7-di­meth­oxy­naphthalenes, in the presence of a suitable acidic mediator (Okamoto & Yonezawa, 2009; Okamoto et al., 2011). According to X-ray crystal structure studies of these peri-aroyl­naphthalene compounds, the naphthalene ring core and the aroyl group(s) are mutually perpendicular. This non-coplanar nature of peri-aroyl­naphthalene compounds seems to be based on avoidance of inter­nal steric repulsion.

Non-coplanarly accumulated aromatic-ring compounds have attracted increasing attention for use in a wide range of chemical applications. This is because their unique spatial shapes afford useful optical or electronic characteristics. For example, bi­phenyl and bi­naphthyl species have been employed as optically active polymers, catalysts, organic fluorescent dyes and light-emitting diodes (Bulman Page et al., 2012; Kamimura et al., 2014; Seo et al., 2011). Therefore, conformational studies of non-coplanarly accumulated aromatic rings molecules have been actively pursued (Pan et al., 2013).

Under these circumstances, we have investigated the spatial structural study of peri-aroyl­naphthalene compounds, both in the crystalline state and in solution. Here the typically good crystallinity of peri-aroyl­naphthalene compounds has enabled us to develop a systematic structural study by X-ray crystallography. As one perspective, the crystal structures of peri-aroyl­naphthalene compounds are classified into two groups by the orientation of the aroyl groups with respect to the naphthalene ring, i.e. with the aroyl groups lying either in the same direction (syn-orientation) or in opposite directions (anti-orientation). Almost all peri-aroyl­naphthalene compounds have anti-oriented conformations in their crystal structures. However, there are some examples that display syn-orientations, such as 1,8-bis­(4-phen­oxy­benzoyl)-2,7-di­meth­oxy­naphthalene, (2) (Hijikata et al., 2010), {2,7-di­meth­oxy-8-[4-(propan-2-yl­oxy) benzoyl]­naphthalen-1-yl}[4-(propan-2-yl­oxy)phenyl] methanone (Sasagawa et al., 2013) and 1,8-bis­(4-chloro­benzoyl)-7-meth­oxy­naphthalen-2-ol ethanol monosolvate (Mitsui et al., 2010). We regard the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl group as a candidate entity for affording syn-oriented conformations and have thus designed a series of 2,7-di­alk­oxy-1,8-bis­(4-phen­oxy­benzoyl)­naphthalene homologues, such as 2,7-diisoprop­oxy-1,8-bis­(4-phen­oxy­benzoyl)­naphthalene, (3) (Yoshiwaka et al., 2013).

Herein, we report the crystal structure of 2,7-dieth­oxy-1,8-bis­(4-phen­oxy­benzoyl)­naphthalene, (1), and discuss the factors that determine the orientations of the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups. This is done through comparison of the title compound, (1), with its meth­oxy-bearing [(2)] and isoprop­oxy-bearing [(3)] homologues.

Experimental top

Synthesis and crystallization top

To a solution of 2,7-di­eth­oxy-1,8-bis­(4-fluoro­benzoyl)­naphthalene (1.0 mmol, 432 mg) in di­methyl­acetamide (2.5 ml), K2CO3 (5.0 mmol, 691 mg) was added and the resulting solution stirred at 423 K for 6 h. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous 2 M HCl and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate several times. The combined extracts were washed with water and brine and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a cake of the crude material. The crude product was purified by recrystallization from chloro­form–methanol (1:1 v/v). Single crystals of (1) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by crystallization from methanol (64% isolated yield; m.p. 422.6–424.2 K). Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 7.89 (2H, d, J = 9.0 Hz), 7.68 (4H, d, J = 8.1 Hz), 7.37 (4H, t, J = 7.8 Hz), 7.10–7.19 (3H, m), 7.09 (4H, d, J = 7.8 Hz), 6.88 (4H, d, J = 8.1 Hz), 3.99 (4H, q, J = 6.9 Hz), 1.02 (6H, t, J = 6.9 Hz); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 14.52, 64.96, 112.25, 116.70, 120.15, 121.92, 124.24, 125.47, 129.87, 131.28, 131.84, 134.02, 155.58, 155.68, 161.26, 195.66; IR (KBr, ν, cm-1): 1661 (CO), 1584, 1511, 1487 (Ar), 1267 (C—O—C). Analysis, calculated for C40H32O6: C 78.93, H 5.30%; found: C 78.64, H 5.30%.

Refinement top

All H atoms could be located by difference Fourier synthesis, but were subsequently refined in optimized positions and in riding modes, with C—H = 0.95 (aromatic), 0.98 (methyl) and 0.99 (methyl­ene) Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Results and discussion top

The molecule of (1) is situated on crystallographic two-fold axis so that the asymmetric unit contains one-half of the molecule, Z' = 0.5. Thus, the two 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups are situated in an anti-orientation (Fig. 1). The molecules exhibit axial chirality, with either two S,S or two R,R stereogenic axes. The dihedral angle between the inter­nal benzene ring of the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl group (C10–C15) and the naphthalene ring system (C1–C6) is 74.13 (5)° [torsion angle C2—C1—C9—O1 = 66.76 (15)°]. The dihedral angle between the inter­nal benzene ring and the terminal benzene ring (C16–C21) of the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl group is 82.94 (7)°. The dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring system (C1–C6) and the terminal benzene ring of the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl group is 10.03 (6)°.

In the crystal structure, the R,R and S,S-isomers are arranged alternately in all directions (Figs. 2 and 3). Three kinds of C—H···OC hydrogen bonds, all with similar distances [C19—H19···O1i = 2.68 Å, C18—H18···O1i = 2.66 Å and C12—H12···O1ii = 2.64 Å; symmetry codes: (i) 1/2 - x, 1/2 - y, 1/2 + z, (ii) x, 1 - y, 1/2 + z] are observed, together with a C—H···π inter­action that has distance longer than 3 Å [C18—H18···Cg3 = 3.17 Å; Cg3 is the centroid of the C10–C15 ring generated by symmetry code (i)]. Given these geometries, the significance of these inter­actions as structure-directing inter­actions is likely to be rather subsidiary.

We have previously reported the crystal structures of compounds analogous to (1). These have meth­oxy and isoprop­oxy groups at the 2- and 7-positions of the naphthalene ring instead of eth­oxy groups, namely 2,7-di­meth­oxy-1,8-bis­(4-phen­oxy­benzoyl)­naphthalene, (2) (Hijikata et al., 2010), and 2,7-diisoprop­oxy-1,8-bis­(4-phen­oxy­benzoyl)­naphthalene, (3) (Yoshiwaka et al., 2013). The isoprop­oxy-bearing homologue, (3), shows the same C2 symmetry as (1). This naturally means that the two 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups of homologue (3) are thus oriented in an anti-orientation. On the other hand, the spatial organization of the meth­oxy-bearing homologue, (2), is apparently different from those of (1) and (3), in that the two 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups in (2) are oriented in the same direction (syn-conformation).

In the molecules of (1) and homologue (3), the terminal benzene ring, the inter­nal benzene ring and the naphthalene ring are situated in a crankshaft fashion. As described above, compound (1) apparently has no effective inter­molecular inter­actions. Therefore, the crankshaft structure plausibly originates from the avoidance of otherwise large inter­nal steric repulsions in this type of molecule. On the other hand, two more significant kinds of inter­molecular inter­action are observed for both homologues (2) and (3). These are a C—H···π inter­action between an H atom of the terminal benzene ring and the π-system of the inter­nal benzene ring of the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl group, and a C—H···OC hydrogen bond between an aromatic ring and the carbonyl group [the aromatic ring is the naphthalene ring for homologue (2), and the inter­nal benzene ring of the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl group for homologue (3)] (Table 2; Figs. 4 and 5). The inter­molecular C—H···OC hydrogen bond observed in homologue (2) is the same length as that in homologue (3) [2.44 Å for both (2) and (3)]. However, the inter­molecular C—H···π inter­action in homologue (2) is shorter than that in homologue (3) [2.78 Å for homologue (2); 2.97 Å for homologue (3)]. In consequence of this, it would seem that the C—H···π inter­actions between 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups in homologue (2) lead to the dimeric aggregate of syn-conformers that is observed.

In the crystal structures of these compounds, the molecular conformations are mainly determined by the balance between the strong C—H···π inter­action and the molecular packing density. The effects of these factors can be correlated with the volume of the alk­oxy groups. The most effective inter­action observed is the C—H···π inter­action between the terminal phen­oxy group and the phenyl­ene ring of the phen­oxy­benzoyl group of an adjacent molecule for the 2,7-meth­oxy-bearing homologue, (2). As two molecules of (2) form a dimeric structure, each such centrosymmetric unit has two such strong inter­actions. In consequence of this, each of the molecules of (2) adopts a syn-conformation, for which the small volume of the methyl­oxy groups on the 2,7-positions probably allows a satisfactory packing density. On the other hand, the 2,7-eth­oxy- and 2,7-isoprop­oxy-bearing homologues, (1) and (3), display crankshaft molecular features, i.e. molecules with anti-conformations. These homologues display C2 symmetry of the single molecule. In the crystal structure, the isoprop­oxy-bearing homologue, (3), thus shows two sets of effective C—H···π inter­actions, between the terminal phen­oxy group and the inter­nal benzene ring of the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl group of an adjacent molecule, and vice versa the same inter­actions with the other adjacent molecule. Although eth­oxy homologue (1) shows no effective inter­actions concerning the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups, the spatial organization of (1) is essentially the same as that of the isoprop­oxy-bearing homologue, (3). Consequently, the inter­actions between the 4-phen­oxy­benzoyl groups of isoprop­oxy-bearing homologue (3) are plausibly smaller than the corresponding inter­action observed in homologue (2). As eth­oxy and isoprop­oxy groups have significantly larger volumes than a meth­oxy group, it is suggested that this prevents sufficient packing density being obtained in the syn-conformation, resulting in the formation of the alternative crankshaft-like anti-conformation.

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.
