N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycine was prepared in analogy with the literature (Kraatz et al., 1997; Bauer et al., 1999; Appoh et al., 2004) as follows. Ferrocenecarboxylic acid and glycine methyl ester hydrochloride were reacted in dichloromethane in the presence peptide coupling agents (1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide and 1-hydroxy-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole) and triethylamine, which in situ converts glycine methyl ester hydrochloride to the respective free base. The resulting methyl N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycinate was isolated by column chromatography (silica, dichloromethane–methanol 10:1). This ester was saponified with NaOH in refluxing water–dioxane (1:1). Subsequent acidification H3PO4 afforded free acid, which was isolated and purified by column chromatography on silica using dichloromethane–methanol 5:1 as the eluent.
Yellow crystals of the title compounds were obtained by mixing equimolar amounts of piperidine and N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycine (50 µmol each) in dry methanol (ca 1 ml) and subsequent crystallization by a slow diffusion of diethyl ether vapours. Analysis calcd. for C18N24FeN2O3: C, 58.08; H, 6.50; N, 7.53%. Found: C, 57.73; H, 6.65; N, 7.36%.
H-atoms residing on the carbon atoms were included in their calculated positions and treated as riding atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). Those biding to the N and O atoms were identified on the difference electron density maps and refined as described above.
ferrocenylcarbonyl derivatives (amides) prepared from amino acids and peptides received considerable research attention in the recent past, mainly as precursors to redox-labelled biomolecules and as model compounds for studies focusing on stereochemistry and H-bonding interactions in peptides (Štěpnička, 2008). N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycine as the first ferrocenylated amino acid derivative was reported already in 1957 (Schlögl, 1957). It was further used in the preparation of 2-ferrocenyl-5(4H)oxazolone and its complexes with transition metals (Bauer et al., 1999) and further studied as a redox-responsive reagent for inorganic anions (Gallagher et al., 1999).
Thus, piperidinium N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycinate was obtained by acid-base reaction N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycine with piperidine and isolated as a yellow, air-stable crystalline solid. Its molecular structure as determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (Figure 1) is rather unexceptional. The geometry of the ferrocene unit is regular, showing a practically negligible variation in the Fe—C bond lengths (2.029 (19)–2.051 (2) Å). Accordingly, the distance of the iron atom to cyclopentadienyl ring centroids are quite similar (1.6429 (10) and 1.6450 (10) Å for the rings C(1–5) and C(6–10), respectively), and the dihedral angle of the least-squares cyclopentadienyl planes is only 2.28 (13) °.
The geometry of the glycinamide moiety is similar to those reported previously for methyl N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycinate (Gallagher et al., 1999) or t-butyl N-[1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-1-carbonyl]glycinate (Tauchman et al., 2009). A difference is seen in the parameters describing the terminal carboxy group, which is deprotonated (unlike the reference compounds) and shows balanced C—O distance due to delocalization (C13—O2 = 1.255 (2) Å, C13—O3 = 1.265 (2) Å, O2—C13—O3 = 124.25 (17) °). The amide plane, {C11, O1, N1}, is rotated with respect to its bonding cyclopentadienyl ring C(1–5) by only 8.9 (2) °. As a results, the two moieties remain conjugated, which is reflected by a relative shortening of the connecting C1—C11 bond (1.486 (3) Å). Similar bond lengths (1.483 (2) and 1.491 (2) Å) were observed for two monoclinic polymorphs of carbamoylferrocene, where the amide and cyclopentadienyl planes are rotated by ca 10 ° (Štěpnička et al., 2010). The glycine moeity extends below the parent cyclopentadienyl ring at the dihedral angle C11—N1—C12—C13 of 59.3 (1) °. Finally, the piperidinium cation assumes an envelope conformation with τ = 178.1 (2) ° and puckering amplitude Q = 0.572 (2) Å (N.B. ideal chair requires τ = 0 or 180 °). There is, however, noticeable some departure from the regular geometry since the C(21/25)—N bond lengths are slightly shorter (ca 2%) than the remaining in-ring distances (C—C = 1.513 (3)–1.525 (3) Å).
The crystal packing of the title compound is dominated by intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction. The ions constituting the structure assemble pairwise around inversion centers by means of N—H···O hydrogen bonds from both NH protons at the piperidinium cation to adjacent carboxylate O atoms O2 and O3 as H-bond acceptors (Figure 2a; for parameters, see Table 1). An additional contact, N2—H3N···O2 has a rather unfavourable geometry and probably reflects an enforced proximity of the atoms involved. The four-membered centrosymmetric assemblies thus formed are interconnected by N—H···O hydrogen bonds between amide NH and carboxylate O3 and further by supportive C—H···O interactions (Figure 2a, Table 1) into layers oriented parallel to the bc plane (Figure 2b).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two least-squares 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 least-squares planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against all diffractions. 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 > 2σ(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. |

ferrocenylcarbonyl derivatives (amides) prepared from amino acids and peptides received considerable research attention in the recent past, mainly as precursors to redox-labelled biomolecules and as model compounds for studies focusing on stereochemistry and H-bonding interactions in peptides (Štěpnička, 2008). N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycine as the first ferrocenylated amino acid derivative was reported already in 1957 (Schlögl, 1957). It was further used in the preparation of 2-ferrocenyl-5(4H)oxazolone and its complexes with transition metals (Bauer et al., 1999) and further studied as a redox-responsive reagent for inorganic anions (Gallagher et al., 1999).
Thus, piperidinium N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycinate was obtained by acid-base reaction N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycine with piperidine and isolated as a yellow, air-stable crystalline solid. Its molecular structure as determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (Figure 1) is rather unexceptional. The geometry of the ferrocene unit is regular, showing a practically negligible variation in the Fe—C bond lengths (2.029 (19)–2.051 (2) Å). Accordingly, the distance of the iron atom to cyclopentadienyl ring centroids are quite similar (1.6429 (10) and 1.6450 (10) Å for the rings C(1–5) and C(6–10), respectively), and the dihedral angle of the least-squares cyclopentadienyl planes is only 2.28 (13) °.
The geometry of the glycinamide moiety is similar to those reported previously for methyl N-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)glycinate (Gallagher et al., 1999) or t-butyl N-[1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-1-carbonyl]glycinate (Tauchman et al., 2009). A difference is seen in the parameters describing the terminal carboxy group, which is deprotonated (unlike the reference compounds) and shows balanced C—O distance due to delocalization (C13—O2 = 1.255 (2) Å, C13—O3 = 1.265 (2) Å, O2—C13—O3 = 124.25 (17) °). The amide plane, {C11, O1, N1}, is rotated with respect to its bonding cyclopentadienyl ring C(1–5) by only 8.9 (2) °. As a results, the two moieties remain conjugated, which is reflected by a relative shortening of the connecting C1—C11 bond (1.486 (3) Å). Similar bond lengths (1.483 (2) and 1.491 (2) Å) were observed for two monoclinic polymorphs of carbamoylferrocene, where the amide and cyclopentadienyl planes are rotated by ca 10 ° (Štěpnička et al., 2010). The glycine moeity extends below the parent cyclopentadienyl ring at the dihedral angle C11—N1—C12—C13 of 59.3 (1) °. Finally, the piperidinium cation assumes an envelope conformation with τ = 178.1 (2) ° and puckering amplitude Q = 0.572 (2) Å (N.B. ideal chair requires τ = 0 or 180 °). There is, however, noticeable some departure from the regular geometry since the C(21/25)—N bond lengths are slightly shorter (ca 2%) than the remaining in-ring distances (C—C = 1.513 (3)–1.525 (3) Å).
The crystal packing of the title compound is dominated by intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction. The ions constituting the structure assemble pairwise around inversion centers by means of N—H···O hydrogen bonds from both NH protons at the piperidinium cation to adjacent carboxylate O atoms O2 and O3 as H-bond acceptors (Figure 2a; for parameters, see Table 1). An additional contact, N2—H3N···O2 has a rather unfavourable geometry and probably reflects an enforced proximity of the atoms involved. The four-membered centrosymmetric assemblies thus formed are interconnected by N—H···O hydrogen bonds between amide NH and carboxylate O3 and further by supportive C—H···O interactions (Figure 2a, Table 1) into layers oriented parallel to the bc plane (Figure 2b).
