[(1RS,3RS)-2,2-Dimethyl-3-phenylcyclopropyl][(1'SR, 3'SR)-2,2-dimethyl-3-phenylcyclopropyl]methanone, (IV), and [(1RS,3RS)-2,2-dimethyl-3-phenylcyclopropyl][(1'RS,3'RS)-2,2-dimethyl-3-phenylcyclopropyl]methanone, (V), were prepared as follows.
A 25 ml round-bottomed flask with stirrer bar was charged with sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 111 mg, 2.78 mmol, 2.4 equivalents), sealed with a rubber septum and purged with argon. The flask was maintained under argon and anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was added. The stirred suspension was cooled to 273 K (ice bath), the septum briefly removed and triisopropyl sulfoxonium tetrafluoroborate (735 mg, 2.78 mmol, 2.4 equivalents) added in a single portion. The mixture was stirred for 5 min before the addition of a solution of dibenzylideneacetone 5 [What is this number?] (272 mg, 1.16 mmol, 1.0 equivalents) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml) dropwise by cannula. The cooling bath was removed and the yellow-coloured solution stirred at room temperature until the reaction was shown to be complete by thin-layer chromatographic analysis (14 h). The reaction was quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous NH4Cl (15 ml), diluted with water (60 ml) and extracted with Et2O (3 × 50 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (petrol/Et2O 19:1 v/v) to afford 350 mg (94%) of a colourless solid, a chromatographically inseparable mixture of diastereoisomers (IV) and (V) (2.15:1) (m.p. 331–333 K). Analysis: Rf = 0.63 (petrol–EtOAc 3:1 v/v; no separation); IR (NaCl, ν, cm-1): 3027, 2972, 2950, 2919, 2871, 2361, 2338, 1666, 1602, 1579, 1497, 1443, 1422, 1375, 1278, 1103, 1070, 770; MS (ESI): m/z = 341 [M + Na]+; HRMS-ESI: m/z [M + Na]+ calculated for C23H26NaO: 341.1876; found 341.1882 (1.82 p.p.m. error). Repeated recrystallization (ten times) from EtOH–H2O (Solvent ratio?) gave a single diastereomer; X-ray analysis identified this as (IV) (m.p. 336–338 K). Analysis: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 1.03 (s, 6 H, CH3), 1.29 (s, 6 H, CH3), 2.54 (d, J = 6.1 Hz, 2 H, CH), 2.93 (d, J = 6.1 Hz, 2 H, CH), 7.17–7.32 (m, 10 H, ArH); 13C NMR (125 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 20.6 (CH3), 22.6 (CH3), 33.7 (C), 38.6 (CH), 42.0 (CH), 126.3 (ArH), 128.1 (ArH), 128.9 (ArH), 138.0 (Ar), 205.2 (C═ O).
The crystal was discovered to be non-merohedrally twinned by 180° rotation about the [100] direction. The orientation matrix for each twin component was determined using DIRAX (Duisenberg, 1992), allowing an HKLF 5 file (Software? Reference?) to be prepared. The twin fraction refined to 0.470 (3).
H atoms were placed using a riding model, with C—H = 0.98 (CH3), 0.95 (aromatic CH) or 1.00 Å (aliphatic CH). They were modelled isotropically with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl) and 1.2Ueq(other C).

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. The uncertainty on the value of the Flack parameter is so large as to make assignment of the absolute stereochemistry impossible. The chirality arises as a function of the packing. We assume that the handedness in this structure is random and that other crystals will have the enantiomeric arrangement. |

We recently reported the preparation of triisopropyl sulfoxonium tetrafluoroborate, (I), and its use as an isopropylidene transfer reagent for the gem-dimethylcyclopropanation of a range of electron-deficient alkenes (Edwards et al., 2008). Good to excellent yields were obtained with a range of cyclic and acyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones and related systems (see first scheme).
The dimethylcyclopropanation of dienones was also studied. Interestingly, dibenzylideneacetone, (II), gave a mixture of the expected dimethylcyclopropane, (III), together with two inseparable diastereomers of the bis-cyclopropyl adducts, (IV) and (V) (see second scheme). With excess sulfoxonium salt, the bis-adducts (IV) and (V) were formed in 94% yield as an inseparable mixture of diastereomers (2.15:1), but we were unable to assign the structure of the major diastereoisomer.
We have now repeated the bis(dimethylcyclopropanation) of dibenzylideneacetone (II) in order to clarify the stereochemical outcome of this reaction. Repeated recrystallization (ten times) of the (IV)/(V) mixture from ethanol–water, and analysis by 1H NMR spectroscopy, produced a pure sample of the major diastereomeric product. X-ray crystallographic analysis then confirmed that the major product was the title meso-isomer, (IV) (Fig. 1).
The asymmetric unit contains two molecules of the adduct (IV) with differing conformations. The carbonyl groups of each adduct are aligned approximately along the a axis and in opposite directions to each other. The orientation of the individual molecules is such that there is almost a mirror plane of symmetry along the carbonyl axis, perpendicular to the C8/C9/C10/O1 plane. [From the Co-Editor: Is this also true of the C32/C32/C33/O2 plane?]
The differences between the two conformations are significant, with the r.m.s. best fit for overlap of the heavy atoms being 0.252 Å. Closer inspection reveals that the major difference is in the orientation of the phenyl ring relative to the adjacent cyclopropanated double bond. For one adduct, both rings are twisted with approximately equivalent angles of -15.6 (10) and 16.5 (10)°. In the other, one phenyl ring and bond are almost coplanar, the angles being 2.8 (11) and -13.5 (10)°. This difference is also reflected in the angle between the planes for each pair of cyclopropane and phenyl groups; the angles are 58.8 (6) and 59.2 (6)° for the first adduct and 61.5 (5) and 65.9 (6)° for the second. It is notable that for the second conformer, half of the molecule has an orientation closely similar to that of the first conformer, whilst the remainder is significantly different. This is clearly illustrated in Fig. 2.
The packing of the molecules within the crystal structure also shows some interesting behaviour. Each conformer is arranged to form a sinusoidal pattern orientated along the b axis (Fig. 3). Analysis of the packing shows that there are no intermolecular π–π interactions (neither face-to-face or edge-to-face) as there are no pairs of atoms which are significantly closer (0.2 Å) than the sum of the their van der Waals radii.
A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.29 with August 2008 update; Allen, 2002) reveals that only 29 crystal structures have been reported previously which contain the cyclopropyl–carbonyl–cyclopropyl (CyP–CO–CyP) sequence. All but three of these have the (CyP–CO–CyP) moiety as part of a cyclic structure, with the majority being derived from 1,4-benzoquinone. Only two structures are reported which have two dimethylcyclopropyl groups, one being derived from benzoquinone (Edwards et al., 2008) and the other based on tropone (Cetinkaya et al., 1982). Thus, the crystal structure of (IV), with the dimethylcyclopropyl groups and carbonyl in an acyclic arrangement, appears to be the first of its type to be reported.
