Special details top
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. 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. |

The tetracyclic title compound, (III), was obtained upon an attempted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole 1-oxide, (I), to methyl 2-chloro-2-(bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-7-ylidene)acetate, (II) (Brandi et al., 2003), during systematic studies of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to substituted methylenecyclopropanes (Goti et al., 1996; de Meijere, Kozhushkov & Khlebnikov, 2000; de Meijere & Kozhushkov, 2000). The relative configuration of (III) was established by X-ray crystal structure analysis of its solvate with oxalic acid and water (1:1:1) (IV).
Chlorine and methoxycarbonyl substitutents at the two bridgehead atoms of the tetracyclic system are cis-oriented with respect to each other (Fig. 1).
All four cycles are substantially non-planar. The four-membered ring is folded around the C6···C12 line by 14.7(?)°. The cyclohexane ring has a slightly flattened chair conformation, while the five-membered heterocycles adopt conformations of O1-envelope and twisted half-chair. The solvent molecule of oxalic acid is also not entirely plana, with a torsion angle O5—C15—C16—O6 of −7.5(?)°.
The most remarkable feature of the studied structure is the packing of the molecules in the crystal. The molecles of oxalic acid and water form flat ribbons; the tetracyclic molecules are attached to both edges of the ribbons by very strong hydrogen bonds between oxalic acid and the tetradecane N atom (Fig. 2). The molecules of oxalic acid and water are linked together by a network of O—H···O hydrogen bonds. Tetracyclic molecules in the same ribbon are also connected by C6—H6···O3 [C···O = 3.290 (1) Å] interactions. In the crystal structure, these ribbons are parallel to the [011] direction and show a number of weak C—H···O interactions.
