A single crystal of the rel-R,R-enanti­omer of the title compound, C16H14O2, was analyzed. The mol­ecular structure is characterized by nearly planar cyclo­butene rings and a torsion angle of the diol unit of 68.3 (2)°. Strands parallel to the b axis are built from diols connected via hydrogen bonds.

Structure description

A single-crystal of the isomeric mixture of the title compound (Fig. 1[link]) was analysed, consisting of the pure rel-R,R-enanti­omer. The bond lengths of the benzo­cyclo­butene fragments are typical for this unit, both four-membered rings are planar, the sums of bond angles are 359.96° and 359.45° resp. The bond angles at the sp2-carbons are 93.1 (2)° (C9—C16—C11), 93.8 (2)° (C10—C11—C16), 94.3 (2)° (C8—C3—C2), and 93.2 (2)° (C3—C8—C1).

The dihedral angle between the best planes of the cyclo­butane units is 58.5 (2)° and the central torsion angle of the glycol subunit is 68.2 (3)°. In the crystal, the mol­ecules (symmetry transformed by a a twofold screw axis) form strands along the b-axis direction. Hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2[link], Table 1[link]) parallel to the b-axis [O1—H1⋯O2, 1.92 (4) Å, 170 (3)°] connect mol­ecules with translational symmetry, hydrogen bonds in direction of the c-axis [O2—H2⋯O1, 1.91 (4) Å, 152.0 (4)°] connect two mol­ecules which are symmetry-related by the screw axis.

Synthesis and crystallization

The reductive coupling of aldehydes or ketones with low-valent titanium (McMurry, 1989[McMurry, J. (1989). Chem. Rev. 89, 1513-1524.]) is an important route to stilbenes (Meier, 1992[Meier, H. (1992). Angew. Chem. 104, 1425-1446.]), even to stilbenes with severe geometrical strain (Lenoir, 1989[Lenoir, D. (1989). Synthesis, pp. 883-897.]; Dobryakov et al., 2016[Dobryakov, A. L., Quick, M., Lenoir, D., Detert, H., Ernsting, N. P. & Kovalenko, S. A. (2016). Chem. Phys. Lett. 652, 225-229.]). The reaction proceeds via a pinacol inter­mediate, the geometry of which is decisive for the configuration of the product. The McMurry reaction of benzo­cyclo­butenone (Schiess & Heitzmann, 1977[Schiess, P. & Heitzmann, H. (1977). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 16, 469-470.][Schiess, P. & Heitzmann, H. (1977). Angew. Chem. 89, 485-485.]) results in a mixture of E– and Z-di(benzo­cyclo­butyl­idene) (Schneider et al., 1999[Schneider, S., Brem, B., Jäger, W., Rehaber, H., Lenoir, D. & Frank, R. (1999). Chem. Phys. Lett. 308, 211-217.]) together with a pinacol (40%) of unknown geometry (Oelgemöller et al., 2002[Oelgemöller, M., Brem, B., Frank, R., Schneider, S., Lenoir, D., Hertkorn, N., Origane, Y., Lemmen, P., Lex, J. & Inoue, Y. (2002). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 1760-1771.]). H NMR spectroscopy of the crude product mixture showed a 6:4 ratio of the stilbene (ca 1:1 mixture of both isomers) and the diol. A single crystal from the mixture of the diols was investigated.

H NMR (400 MHz; CDCl3): δH = 1.53 (2 H, br s, OH), 3.04 (2 H, d, J = 14.4, 2-H), 3.17 (2 H, br s, 1-H), 3.30 (2 H, d, J = 14.4, 2-H), 7.01–7.18 (8 H, br m, Harom); C NMR (100 MHz; CDCl3) δC = 42.7 (t, 2 × C-2), 82.9 (d, 2 × C-1), 121.4 (d, 2 × Carom), 123.2 (d, 2 × Carom), 127.1 (d, 2 × Carom), 129.5 (d, 2 × Carom), 142.3 (s, 2 × Carom) and 146.8 (s, 2 × Carom). Recrystallization from chloro­form/propanol-2 (v/v = 1:3) yielded colourless crystals.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Hydroxyl hydrogen atoms were localized in difference fourier maps and freely refined.
