Supporting information


Comment top

Knowledge of the configuration and conformation of the title compound, (1), is necessary to understand its behaviour in dipolar-1,3 cycloaddition reactions (Bennani et al. 2007, Al Houari et al. 2008). To confirm the E configuration of the exocyclic C=C double bond, an X-ray crystal structure determination has been carried out.

In the title compound, C20H20O2, the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 72.92 (6)°.The cyclohexyl ring of the 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one is distorted from a classical chair conformation, presumably due to conjugation of the planar annulated benzo ring (r.m.s. deviation 0.32 (13) A °). In the crystal, molecules are connected through C—H···O hydrogen bonds.

Experimental top

The synthesis of 2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4,4-dimethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one was achieved using the method reported by Kerbal et al. (1988), i.e. by a condensation of para anisaldehyde with 4,4-dimethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one in an alkaline medium in methanol.

Refinement top

All H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.97 Å (methyne) and 0.93Å (aromatic) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
