A solution of
(2R,7R,11S,16S)-1,8,10,17-tetraazapentacyclo[8.8.1.18,17.
02,7.011,16]icosane (276 mg, 1.00 mmol) in dioxane (3 ml) and water (4 ml), prepared beforehand following previously described procedures, was added
dropwise into a dioxane solution (3 ml) containing two equivalents of phenol
(188 mg, 2.00 mmol) in a two-necked round-bottomed flask. The mixture was
refluxed for about 12 h. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure
until a sticky residue appeared. The product was purified by chromatography on
a silica column, and subjected to gradient elution with benzene:ethyl acetate
(yield 21%, M.pt. = 413–414 K). Single crystals of racemic (I) were grown
from a CHCl3 solution by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature
over a period of about 2 weeks.
The C-bound H atoms were geometrically placed (C-H = 0.96 Å) and refined as
riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The positions of the
hydroxyl-H atoms were refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

Special details top
Refinement. The refinement was carried out against all reflections. The conventional
R-factor is always based on F. The goodness of fit as well as
the weighted R-factor are based on F and F2 for
refinement carried out on F and F2, respectively. The
threshold expression is used only for calculating R-factors etc. and it
is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. The program used for refinement, Jana2006, uses the weighting scheme based on
the experimental expectations, see _refine_ls_weighting_details, that does not
force S to be one. Therefore the values of S are usually larger
than the ones from the SHELX program. |

Mannich bases are versatile synthetic intermediates and are used as model systems for the study of intramolecular hydrogen bonding and proton transfer (Mitra et al. 2006; Elias et al. 1997). The presence of these interactions is undoubtedly one of the essential factors contributing to their highly thermodynamic stability. Recently, we used (2R,7R,11S,16S)-1,8,10,17-tetraazapentacyclo[8.8.1.18,17. 02,7.011,16]icosane as precursor for a di-Mannich base (Rivera et al. 2009). The X-ray analysis showed the N lone pairs to be anti-axial and both N atoms to be sufficiently basic to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds. In continuation of our research program on the structure, properties, and reactivity of aminal cages (pre-formed Mannich reagents), we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
Compound (I) features intramolecular hydrogen bonds O—H···N, Fig. 1. The bond lengths are normal and comparable to the corresponding values observed in the related structure of 2,2'-(3aR,7aR/3aS,7aS)-hexahydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1,3(2H)-diyl)-bis(methylene)-bis(4-methyl-phenol) (Rivera et al. 2009).
The crystal packing (Fig 2) displays weak intermolecular C–H···O interactions (Table 1) that link pairs of enantiomers alternately to form a racemic chain along the c axis. Chains are linked along the a direction by C–H···π interactions (Table 1).
