Comment top

The nitrone compounds are important synthetic reagents for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Some nitrones are also good spin traps used in electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments. The title nitrone compound was prepared in order to examine the mechanism of the formation of N,N-dibenzoylaniline product in the photoinduced reactions of nitroarene with diphenylacetylene (Tian & Xu, 2003). We report here the results of X-ray crystallographic analysis of the title compound, (I), which was undertaken to establish its configuration.

There are two crystallographic independent molecules A and B in the asymmetric unit which are related by a local pseudo-twofold rotation axis (Fig. 1). The bond lengths and angles of both molecules A and B (Fig. 1) agree with each other, and are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987).

In both molecules, the configurations of the three phenyl rings are determined by the joining sp2 state atoms of the ethylideneamine group (C7, C8 and N1). The oxide O2 atom lies on the C7/C8/N1 plane. The phenyl rings attached at the C7, C8 and N1 atoms make dihedral angles of 75.2 (1), 35.3 (1) and 64.3 (1)°, respectively, with respect to the ethylideneamine plane in molecule A, and 78.0 (1), 35.7 (1) and 65.8 (1)° in molecule B. The phenyl rings attached at the C8 and N1 are nearly orthogonal to each other, with dihedral angles of 80.6 (1) and 78.8 (1)° in molecules A and B, respectively.

In the benzoyl moiety, the carbonyl group (C7O1) is twisted out of the aromatic ring, so that the atom O1 deviates by 0.572 (1) Å and the C6/C7/C8/O1 plane makes an angle of 23.1 (1)° from the aromatic ring in molecule A. The same values in molecule B are 0.490 (1) Å and 27.4 (1)°. The twisted angle of the carbonyl group in this compound are comparable to that in the another benzoyl derivative [22.1 (1)°; Usman et al., 2001].

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by the oxidation of the corresponding imine with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in chloroform and was isolated by column chromatography on silica gel with petroleum ether–ethyl acetate as eluants. Single crystals suitable for the X-ray diffration were obtained from slow evaporation of acetone solution.

Refinement top

All H atoms were geometrically fixed and treated as riding atoms on their parent C atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Experimental. The data collection covered over a hemisphere of reciprocal space by a combination of three sets of exposures; each set had a different ϕ angle (0, 88 and 180°) for the crystal and each exposure of 30 s covered 0.3° in ω. The crystal-to-detector distance was 5 cm and the detector swing angle was −35°. Crystal decay was monitored by repeating fifty initial frames at the end of data collection and analysing the intensity of duplicate reflections, and was found to be negligible.

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.
