The dichlorocyclopropanation of β-himachalene, a major sesquiterpene isolated from the essential oil of Atlantical Cedrus, was carried out using 1 equivalent of chloroform and excess sodium hydroxide in phase-transfer catalysis liquid–solid at 273 K for 2 h. The product obtained was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) and oxidized with 2 equivalents of N-bromosuccinimide at 273 K for 1 h. The condensation of an equimolar quantity of the resultant ketone with thiosemicarbazide and several drops of hydrochloric acid in ethanol gave (I) in 60% yield after heating at reflux for 5 h. Suitable crystals were obtained by evaporation of a hexane solution at 277 K. Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 9.80, 8.00, 7.40 (3H, NH2 and NH), 0.89 (3H, s), 1.01 (3H, s), 1.2–1.8 (6H, m), 4.90 (1H, d, J = 7.9 Hz), 1.82 (3H, s), 1.83 (3H, s), 2.60 (2H, AB system, J = 18.3 Hz); 13C NMR (CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 31.06 (C-1), 77.57 (C-2), 31.64 (C-3), 29.81 (C-4), 18.09 (C-5), 21.38 (C-6), 39.12 (C-7), 45.66 (C-8), 136.10 (C-9), 133.10 (C-10), 147.52 (C-11), 34.06 (C-12), 25.63 (C-13), 18.09 (C-14), 16.59 (C-15), 14.24 (C-16), 179.24 (C═S).
All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.98 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom). Additionally, the methyl groups were allowed to rotate freely about their parent C—C bond. The disordered atoms in the cycloheptane ring were refined using the SADI, DELU and SAME instructions of SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997) with an effective standard deviation of 0.005 in order to restrain the geometric parameters to chemically reasonable values. The site occupancy factors of the chair and boat conformations refined to 0.636 (5) and 0.364 (5), 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. |

Thiosemicarbazone compounds exhibit well known pharmacological activities, such as selective inhibition of the herpes virus (Blumenkopf et al., 1992) or inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Teitz et al., 1994). Within the framework of the evaluation of Moroccan natural resources, we have undertaken the synthesis and characterization of such compounds. The dichlorocyclopropanation (Auhmani et al., 2002; Eljamili et al., 2002) of β-himachalene (Plattier & Teisseire, 1974), a major sesquiterpene isolated from the essential oil of Atlantical Cedrus, followed by oxidation using N-bromosuccinimide and condensation with thiosemicarbazide, led to the title compound, (I). The structure of (I) was elucidated by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies and its absolute configuration established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
The overall shape of the molecule of (I) can be described as two domains, with a globular hydrophobic core consisting of three substituted fused rings and an elongated hydrophilic thiosemicarbazone tail (Fig. 1). The absolute configuration of (I) was established without ambiguity from the anomalous dispersion of the S and Cl atoms and confirmed that the stereochemistry of the ring junction atoms as C1(S), C3(R) and C8(R) (Fig. 1). The cyclohexene ring is distorted and the puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) show that its conformation is close to that of a screw-boat: the θ and ϕ angles calculated for the atom sequence C8/C9/C10/C11/C12/C1 are 67.7 (2) and 324.4 (3)°, respectively. The thiosemicarbazone substituent on the cyclohexene ring adopts a planar zigzag conformation, with the N—H bond cis to the C═N double bond and trans to the terminal NH2 group. This latter group makes a single hydrogen bond with the S acceptor atom of a symmetry-related molecule [symmetry code: −1/2 + x, 1/2 − y, 1 − z; Table 1]. The two remaining potential N—H donors are not involved in any inter- or intra-molecular interactions and thus the hydrogen-bonding network within the crystal of (I) can be described as an extended chain along [100] (Fig. 2).
Interestingly, the solid-state structure of (I) reveals the presence of conformational disorder for the cycloheptane ring. Both the chair and boat conformations have been trapped randomly during the crystallization process and the chair conformation occurs in 63.6 (6)% of the molecules. The chair conformation of seven-membered rings is known to be more stable than the boat conformation by a few kcal mol−1 (Eliel et al., 1994; 1 kcal mol−1 = 4.184 kJ mol−1). Thus, the relative proportion of both conformers observed within the crystal of (I) may reflect the statistical partitioning of the two populations of cycloheptane structures corresponding to different energetic states.
Another point of interest is the comparison of the molecular structure of (I) with that of its parent compound, (II) (i.e. without the thiosemicarbazone substituent), which was reported by Auhmani et al. (1999). In this latter structure, no conformational disorder was observed and the cycloheptane ring adopts a boat conformation. The superposition of the boat conformation of (I) with compound (II) shows that they fit remarkably well: the r.m.s. deviation calculated with all pairs of corresponding C and Cl atoms of the three- and seven-membered rings, including the methyl substituents, is 0.070 Å. The main difference between the conformations of the two molecules is observed for the cyclohexene ring. The θ and ϕ puckering parameters for the cyclohexene ring of (II) [with the same reference atoms as used for (I)] are 53.5 (4) and 277.1 (4)°, respectively, and describe a distorted conformation between that of an envelope and a half-chair. The different hybridization character of the C atom, which bears the thiosemicarbazone moiety in (I) (sp2 hybridization) and two H atoms in (II) (sp3 hybridization) is responsible for this difference in ring conformation. On the basis of the superposition described above, we calculated the distance between C11 in (I) and its equivalent in (II) and found it to be 0.638 Å, while the five remaining atoms of the cyclohexene ring fit well (the mean distance between corresponding C atoms is 0.108 Å).
