Phthalimide (14.7 g, 0.1mole) taken in a 250 ml beaker was dissolved in 20 ml dimethylformamide and 9.5 ml of 37%(w/v) aqueous formaldehyde (0.1 mole) was added and stirred well. Morpholine (9.0 ml, 0.1 mole) was slowly added to the beaker with stirring. The clear solution became oily. The oily mixture on continuous stirring gave the colourless solid product. The solid product was washed with cold water and finally with diethyl ether. The crude product was recrystallized from ethanol. It melts at 114°C.
All H atoms were refined with fixed individual displacement parameters [U(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C)] using a riding model with C—H(aromatic) = 0.93 Å. The two methylene H atoms were freely refined.
Morpholine is used as an important chemical intermediate in the preparation of pesticides. Drugs containing the morpholine ring have established activities that include the reduction of blood sugar and lipid levels (Yoshioka, 1995), and amelioration of obesity and insulin resistance (Fisher & Wyvratt, 1990). Owing to their pharmacological activities the morpholine derivatives have received a great deal of attention in respect of their synthesis and crystal structures. Phthalimides and N-substituted phthalimides are an important class of compounds because of their interesting biological activities (Lima et al., 2002; Orzeszka et al., 2000; Bailleux et al., 1993).
Phthalimides have also served as starting materials and intermediates for synthesis of alkaloids (Couture et al., 1998) and pharmacophores (Couture et al., 1997).
The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1.
In the morpholine ring the average C—N, C—C and C—O bond distances [1.457 (2), 1.504 (2), 1.421 (2) A°] are in good agreement with earlier reports (Ramnathan et al., 1996). The morpholine ring adopts the usual chair conformation. This is in good agreement with structural data available from version 5.14 of the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002). The geometry of the phthalimide ring system is close to that in the related compound 4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)benzaldehyde (Liu et al., 2004).
The sum of the angles around N1 is 358.60 (10)° indicating sp2 hybridization. However the N1—C1 [1.399 (2) A° and N1—C8 [1.402 (2) A°] distances are intermediate between the average Car—Nsp3(pyramidal) [1.419 (17) A°]and Car—Nsp2(planar) [1.353 (7) A°] distances reported by Allen et al. (1987).
The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

Morpholine is used as an important chemical intermediate in the preparation of pesticides. Drugs containing the morpholine ring have established activities that include the reduction of blood sugar and lipid levels (Yoshioka, 1995), and amelioration of obesity and insulin resistance (Fisher & Wyvratt, 1990). Owing to their pharmacological activities the morpholine derivatives have received a great deal of attention in respect of their synthesis and crystal structures. Phthalimides and N-substituted phthalimides are an important class of compounds because of their interesting biological activities (Lima et al., 2002; Orzeszka et al., 2000; Bailleux et al., 1993).
Phthalimides have also served as starting materials and intermediates for synthesis of alkaloids (Couture et al., 1998) and pharmacophores (Couture et al., 1997).
The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1.
In the morpholine ring the average C—N, C—C and C—O bond distances [1.457 (2), 1.504 (2), 1.421 (2) A°] are in good agreement with earlier reports (Ramnathan et al., 1996). The morpholine ring adopts the usual chair conformation. This is in good agreement with structural data available from version 5.14 of the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002). The geometry of the phthalimide ring system is close to that in the related compound 4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)benzaldehyde (Liu et al., 2004).
The sum of the angles around N1 is 358.60 (10)° indicating sp2 hybridization. However the N1—C1 [1.399 (2) A° and N1—C8 [1.402 (2) A°] distances are intermediate between the average Car—Nsp3(pyramidal) [1.419 (17) A°]and Car—Nsp2(planar) [1.353 (7) A°] distances reported by Allen et al. (1987).
The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
