Title compound was prepared by reaction of (3R,4S)-3-methyl-4-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoleine (1.990 g, 9 mmol) and rac-(1-bromoethyl) benzene (6.2 ml, 45 mmol). The mixture was heated at 318 K for 36 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC.
Two diastereoisomers were obtained in 1:1 ratio. These diastereoisomers were separated by column chromatography. Each compound was treated by 1 equiv of AgBF4 in acetonitrile. Filtration and concentration in vacuo afforded a white solid.
Only one diastereoisomer (the title compound) was successfully recrystallized. Crystals were grown by placing a solution of this dastereoisomer (45mg) in CH3COCH3 (0.5 ml) at the bottom of a test tube, then carefully covering it with pure hexane (50 ml).The test tube was covered and left undisturbed.
Colorless crystals of the title compound appeared after several days. [α]D24 = -16.1 (c 0.4; CHCl3), m.p. 447 K.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic), 0.96 (methyl), or 0.98 Å (methine), with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C) where x = 1.5 for methyl H and 1.2 for all other H atoms.
The systematic absences permitted P41212 and P43212 as possible space groups, but in the absence of significant resonant scattering, it was not possible to distinguish between these enantiomeric space groups and the Friedel-equivalent reflections were merged. P41212 was selected because the enantiomer has been assigned by reference to unchanging chiral centres in the synthetic procedure.

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. |

In recent years, much effort has been devoted to the development of organocatalytic processes that afford metal-free procedures (Adam et al., 2001), such as asymmetric epoxidation catalysed by chiral iminium salts. It has been proved that iminium salts are effective catalysts at low loadings for enantioselective epoxidation using Oxone® (2KHSO5.KHSO4.K2SO4) as the stoichiometric oxidant.
As a part of our interest in catalytic epoxidation by dihydroisoquinolinium-derived iminium salts (Bohé et al., 1999), we report herein the synthesis from the corresponding (3R,4S)-3-methyl-4-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoleine (Davies et al., 1988), by N-alkylation with (1-bromoethyl)benzene, and the crystal structure determination of the title compound. It was isolated as one of the two diastereoisomeric products; it is a new dihydroisoquinolinium-derived iminium salt containing an asymmetric centre in an exocyclic substituent at the nitrogen atom. The X-ray analyses confirmed the 2D NMR data and allowed us to define the absolute configuration of the exocyclic substituent at the nitrogen atom to be R (Fig. 1). The tetrahydroisoquinoline unit is substituted by methyl group in position 3, a phenyl substituent in position 4, both in axial conformation, and a (1-phenylethyl) group at the nitrogen atom (Fig.1). The six-heteromembered ring adopts a screw-boat conformation (rather than a half-chair one as previously described), as indicated by puckering analysis [Q = 0.474 (6) Å, θ = 113.8 (7)°, φ = 93.9 (8) °] (Cremer & Pople, 1975). The two phenyl rings in position C4 and C18 are almost facing each other with a dihedral angle of 19.3 (4)° but with a rather long centroid-centroid distance of 4.129 (3)Å. In the crystal of the iminium salt, significant contacts between cationic species are uniquely mediated by BF4- anions, each of them being surrounded by five cations (Fig. 2). The tetrafluoridoborate anions are involved in intensive thermal motion, thus some B–F bond lengths and angles [range from 1.281 (10) to 1.327 (10) Å and from 98.9 (9) to 116.6 (8)°, respectively] deviate significantly from their standard values.
