Bis(2,5-di­methoxy-4-methyl­phenyl)­methane, C19H24O4, (IIa), was obtained and characterized as a minor product from the reaction of tolu­hydro­quinone di­methyl ether (1,4-dimethoxy-2-methylbenzene) with N-(hydroxy­methyl)­tri­fluoro­acet­amide. Similarly, bis(2,5-di­methoxy-3,4,6-tri­methyl­phenyl)­methane, C23H32O4, (IIb), was prepared from the corresponding reaction of tri­methyl­hydro­quinone di­methyl ether (2,5-dimethoxy-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene). The mol­ecules of (IIa) and (IIb) each lie on a twofold axis passing through the methyl­ene group. The dihedral angle between the planar phenyl rings is 73.4 (1)° in (IIa) and 77.9 (1)° in (IIb). The external bond angles around the bridging methyl­ene group are 116.6 (2) and 117.3 (2)° for (IIa) and (IIb), respectively. In (IIa), the methoxy substituents lie in the plane of the ring and are conjugated with the aromatic system, whereas in (IIb), they are almost perpendicular to the phenyl ring and are positioned on opposite sides.

Comment top

In the course of the synthesis of ammonium quinone derivatives as potential electron acceptors for electron-transfer studies, the amidomethylation reactions of several dimethoxybenzene derivatives have been studied (Zaugg, 1970, 1984; Zaugg & Martin, 1965). The methodology involves reacting the aromatic derivative with N-(hydroxymethyl)trifluoroacetamide in solution in chloroform-trifluoroacetic acid. The major products in each of the reactions we have studied are the expected trifluoroacetamide adducts, (Ia) and (Ib). We will report, in due course, our studies to elaborate such adducts into ammonium quinones.

Interestingly, in the cases of trimethylhydroquinone dimethyl ether and toluylhydroquinone dimethyl ether, significant minor products were also obtained, namely the title bisarylmethane derivatives, (IIa) and (IIb). Such species are known products of other reaction sequences, but their formation has not previously been reported via the synthetic sequence used here and was unanticipated in these reactions. We report here the synthesis of both these bisarylmethane derivatives via this new reaction sequence, as well as their full characterization by X-ray analysis. \sch

In the crystals of both compounds, (IIa) and (IIb), the molecules lie on a twofold axis in space group C2/c (No. 15), which passes through the methylene group. The dihedral angles between the planar phenyl rings are 73.4 (1)° in (IIa) and 77.9 (1)° in (IIb). The external bond angles around the bridging methylene are 116.6 (2) and 117.3 (2)°, respectively, and significantly larger than the standard value. However, the C1—C7 bond lengths [1.514 (2) and 1.522 (2) Å, respectively] did not increase so dramatically relative to the standard value and are only slightly longer (Allen et al., 1987).

In (IIa), the methoxy substituents lie in the plane of the ring and are conjugated with the aromatic system. Methoxy-group conjugation with an aromatic ring has been observed in many systems, including arylidene dicyanovinyl derivatives (Antipin et al., 1997), trans-1-cyano-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-nitroethylene (Nesterov et al., 2000) and [(2-methoxyanilino)methylene]malononitrile (Nesterov et al., 2003). In contrast, in (IIb) the methoxy groups are almost perpendicular to the phenyl ring [torsion angles C8—O1—C2—C1 93.3 (2) and C11—O2—C5—C4 − 93.3 (2)°] and they are positioned on opposite sides of the ring.

The presence in (IIb) of bulky substituents in both ortho-positions is apparently the cause of significant Cphenyl—Omethoxy bond stretching: the C2—O1 and C5—O2 bond lengths are 1.393 (2) and 1.389 (2) Å, respectively. In contrast, the corresponding bond lengths in (IIa), which does not have multiple ortho substitutions, are shorter than in (IIb), with values of 1.371 (2) and 1.372 (2) Å, respectively, comparable with the standard bond value (Allen et al., 1987).

The different orientations of the methoxy groups about the phenyl rings in (IIa) and (IIb) account for the distortion of the bond angles. Thus, we found an increase in the C2—O1—C8 and C5—O2—C10 angles [118.0 (2) and 117.3 (2)°, respectively] and in the C3—C2—O1 and C6—C5—O2 angles [124.2 (2) and 124.3 (2)°, respectively] in (IIa). The corresponding values in (IIb) are smaller [C—O—C angles 113.7 (1) and 113.7 (1)°], but the C—C—O values are approximately standard and within 1° of 120°. Such effects are usual for compounds containing OCH3 groups and have been well explained previously (Gallagher et al., 2001). Other bond lengths and angles in (IIa) and (IIb) have the expected values (Allen et al., 1987).

There are no significant intermolecular interactions in either (IIa) or (IIb). However, in (IIb) there are some weak intramolecular contacts involving C9···O1 and C10/C12···O2 (all H···O > 2.30 Å, C···O > 2.80 Å, C—H···O 110°). Two other C7/C12···O1i contacts involve the symmetry-related parts of (IIb) [symmetry code: (i) =1 − x, y, 3/2 − z].

Experimental top

Bis(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)methane, (IIa), was prepared as follows. A mixture of methylhydroquinone dimethyl ether (1.31 g, 8.6 mmole), N-(hydroxymethyl)trifluoroacetamide (1.23 g, 8.6 mmole; Zaugg & Martin, 1965), CHCl3 (18 ml) and trifluoroacetic acid (9 ml) was refluxed with stirring for 3 d under a drying tube filled with a 4 Å molecular sieve. The brown solution was cooled and the volatile components were removed on a rotary evaporator, leaving a yellowish-brown solid. Column chromatography on silica gel with 8:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate gave two fractions, both white crystalline solids. The diphenylmethane (0.15 g, 11%) was obtained as the first fraction; 1H NMR and 13C NMR are in accordance with the literature (Rathore & Kochi, 1995). Crystallization from hexanes-ethyl acetate (Ratio?) gave X-ray quality crystals of (IIa) [m.p. 413–414 K; literature range (Rathore & Kochi, 1995; Hunt & Lindsey, 1962; Jacini & Bacchetti,1950): 420–421 K]. The second fraction, (Ia), was the expected amidomethylation product (yield 1.61 g, 68%). Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m): 2.22 (s, 3H, Ar—CH3), 3.78 (s, 3H, OCH3), 3.83 (s, 3H, OCH3), 4.48 (d, J = 5.9 Hz, 2H, Ar—CH2), 6.73 (s, 1H, Ar—H), 6.75 (s, 1H, Ar—H), 6.94(br s, 1H, NH); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 16.3 (Ar—CH3), 40.2 (Ar—CH2), 55.9, 56.0 (2 × OCH3), 116.0 (q, J = 287.7 Hz, CF3), 112.6 (Ar—C6), 113.7 (Ar—C3), 121.4 (Ar—C4), 127.8 (Ar—C1), 151.2 (Ar—C2), 151.6 (Ar—C5), 156.7 (q, J = 36.7 Hz, CO). Minor peaks for the two possible regioisomers were also present in both spectra of this fraction. Bis(2,5-dimethoxy-3,4,6-trimethylphenyl)methane, (IIb), was prepared as follows. The above procedure was applied to trimethylhydroquinone dimethyl ether (Rathore et al., 1994a,b). In this case, the diphenylmethane was obtained in 40% yield, again as the first fraction. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were in accordance with the literature (Rathore & Kochi, 1995). Recrystallization from absolute ethanol gave X-ray quality crystals of (IIb) (m.p. 415–416 K; literature range (Rathore & Kochi, 1995): 415–416 K]. The second fraction, (Ib), was the expected amidomethylation product in 49% yield. Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 2.19 (s, 3H, Ar—CH3), 2.21 (s, 3H, Ar—CH3), 2.28 (s, 3H, Ar—CH3); 3.65 (s, 3H, OCH3), 3.71 (s, 3H, OCH3), 4.56 (d, J = 5.5 Hz, 2H, Ar—CH2), 6.67 (br s, 1H, NH); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 12.1, 12.8, 12.9 (3 × Ar—CH3) 36.6 (Ar—CH2), 60.2, 61.0 (2 × OCH3), 115.9 (q, J = 287.7 Hz, CF3), 125.4 (Ar—C6), 128.1 (Ar—C3 or Ar—C4), 128.5 (Ar—C4 or Ar—C3), 131.8 (Ar—C1), 153.4 (Ar—C5 or Ar—C2), 153.6 (Ar—C2 or Ar—C5), 156.7 (q, J = 36.7 Hz, CO).

Refinement top

Space group C2/c was assigned from the systematic absences, with subsequent solution and refinement for both (IIa) and (IIb) (as distinct from space group Cc). The H atom (H7A) of the methylene group was found from a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically, with C—H distances of 0.931 (17) and 0.960 (16) Å in (IIa) and (IIb), respectively. All other H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å for aromatic H atoms and 0.96 Å for CH3 groups.

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 hydrogen atom of the methylene group was found from a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. All the other H-atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined using a riding model with C—H distances of 0.93 Å for aromatic H atoms and 0.96 Å for CH3 groups.

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 hydrogen atom of the methylene group was found from a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. All the other H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined using a riding model with C—H distances of 0.96 Å for CH3 groups.
