The molecular structure of the title compound, C21H26N2O2, shows two intra­molecular O—H...N hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. In the crystal structure, mol­ecular chains are formed along the c axis through weak C—H...O inter­actions. Neighbouring chains are weakly associated along the a axis via C—H...π inter­actions.

Comment top

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).

Experimental top

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.

Refinement top

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.
