The title compound was synthesized by the bromination of 2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene. To a solution of 2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene(314 mg, 1.0 mmol) in 30 ml CCl4, a solution of Br2 (200 mg, 1.1 mmol) in 10 ml CCl4 was added at 0°C. After the reaction mixture had been stirred for 1 h at room temperature, it was poured into water and the organic layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 and washed with solution of sodium thiosulfate and water, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with hexane as eluent t o afford a solid. Recrystallization from ethanol gave the 1-bromo-2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene(yield: 290 mg, 75%) as colorless prism crystals.
All H atoms were geometrically fixed and allowed to ride on their attached atoms, which C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H)= 1.2 Ueq(C) for the H-atom bonded to thiophene ring, N—H= 0.86Å and Uiso(H)= 1.2 Ueq(C) and the other C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H)= 1.5 Ueq(C). Tert-butyl group (attached to C20) is disordered between two orientations. Three methyl groups - C22, C23, C24 - were refined to a rigid model around the bond C20—C21 with methyl groups C22', C23' and C24', with the occupancies refined to 0.41 (3) and 0.59 (3), respectively.

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. |

Pyrene and its derivatives are often used as fluorescent chromophores. Normally, the electrophilic substitution of pyrene occurred at positions 1, 3, 6 or 8 position, but not at other positions (2,4,5,7,9 and 10). However, the orientation in friedel-crafts tert-butylation of pyrene have been proved at positions 2 and 7. Yamato and co workers had reported that the bromination of 2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene with 1 mol equiv of bromine in carbon tetrachloride solution afford 1-bromo-2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene in high yield (Yamato et al., 1997). However, no crystal data were given as a proof. Herein, we report the crystal structure of 1-bromo-2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene, (I), which support the conclusion of Yamato.
In (I) (Fig. 1), all bond lengths and angles are normal and comparable to those reported for close compound (Hazell et al., 1972). One of two tert-butyl groups (attached to pyrene at position 7) is rotationally disordered between two orientations in a ratio 0.59 (3):0.41 (3). The crystal packing exhibits no π-π interactions, however, relatively short intermolecular Br···Br contacts of 3.654 (1) are observed.
