Compound (I) was synthesized by acid-catalysed condensation of 2,4-pentanedione and 2,6-diisopropylaniline in ethanol (Parks & Holm, 1968). Crystals were obtained from a saturated solution in toluene at 243 K.
The toluene solvent molecule, located over a centre of inversion, was too highly disordered for individual atoms to be resolved; this was treated with the SQUEEZE procedure of PLATON (Spek, 1990). H atoms attached to C atoms were placed in calculated positions and subsequently allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Methyl groups were treated as rotating rigid groups with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). H atoms attached to N atoms were located in a difference synthesis and were freely refined, each with 50% occupancy.

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. |

β-Diketimine ligands such as the title compound, (I), are proving to be versatile ligands in the monoanionic form for early transition metals in olefin polymerization (Budzelaar et al., 1998). Recently, we have been interested in the application of (I) for olefin polymerization by nitrogen-ligated organomagnesium species (Bailey et al., 2000). However, whilst there are now many examples of this ligand in the deprotonated monoanionc form as chelates, there are no examples to date of the free protonated parent ligand (I) itself. We report here the crystal structure of (I), which was synthesized via a standard procedure of acid-catalysed condensation of 2,4-pentanedione and 2,6-diisopropylaniline (Parks & Holm, 1968).
The crystal structure is composed of discrete molecules of (I) (Fig. 1) exhibiting no significant intermolecular contacts. The N—C [N1—C2 1.326 (2) and N2—C4 1.327 (2) Å] and C—C [C2—C3 1.398 (2) and C3—C4 1.401 (2) Å] bond lengths of the N—C—C—C—N backbone are in the range associated with aromatic N—C and C—C bonds (Allen et al., 1992). Variation between the N—C (N1—C2 and N2—C4) and C—C (C2—C3 and C3—C4) bonds are statistically insignificant. Compound (I) thus crystallizes as a mixture of the two possible imine–enamine tautomers (see Scheme); inspection of the difference map around C3 gives no evidence to suggest the presence of the third tautomer. As a consequence, the amine proton is disordered in 50:50% occupancy over both N1 and N2 with bond lengths of 0.90 (3) and 0.89 (3) Å, respectively.
The two backbone methyl groups (C1 and C5) adopt a syn orientation; this is surprising as an anti conformation would lead to a less congested conformer. It is likely that small steric, electronic and entropic factors, or crystal-packing forces, are responsible for this. The two phenyl rings adopt a synperiplanar arrangement in order to minimize steric crowding.
