Complex (I) (3-BF3-1-phenylbuta-1,3-diene) was prepared as described previously (De et al., 2007). Crystals of (II) were grown by evaporation of an ethyl acetate/acetone solution of (I) at 298 K with no precautions taken to exclude air or moisture.
Crystals of (II) diffracted poorly and only 54% of the reflections with 2θ < 46.5° were `observed' [I > 2σ(I)]. The final structural model incorporated anisotropic displacement parameters for all non-H atoms and isotropic parameters for all H atoms. H atoms were included in the structural model as idealized atoms (assuming sp2– or sp3-hybridization of the C atoms and C—H bond lengths of 0.95–1.00 Å). The isotropic displacement parameters of all H atoms were fixed at values of 1.2 times the equivalent parameter of the C atom to which they are covalently bonded. H-atom distances/angles not included in CIF data; please provide.

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. A full hemisphere of diffracted intensities (1868 30-second frames) was measured on a a single-domain specimen. X-rays were provided by a fine- focus sealed X-ray tube operated at 50 kV and 30 mA. |

We have recently begun to prepare 2-boron- (De & Welker, 2005) and 2-silicon-substituted 1,3-dienes and investigate their Diels–Alder/cross coupling reactions (Pidaparthi et al., 2007). Most recently, we reported the preparation of several halogen-substituted phenylbutadienes and their conversion into boron-substituted dienes (De et al., 2007). To our surprise, when we attempted to grow crystals of a BF3 substituted diene, (I) (3-BF3-1-phenylbuta-1,3-diene), in ethyl acetate/acetone under atmospheric conditions, a symmetrical structure, (II), derived from six molecules of (I), was isolated and characterized (Scheme 1).
We can rationalize the formation of (II) through the reactive units (III) and (IV) in Scheme 2. The rationalization requires protonolysis of some of the B—C bonds in (I) to generate 1-phenylbuta-1,3-diene. The terminal double bond of one 1-phenylbuta-1,3-diene molecule (labeled 1 in the first scheme below) appears to have been oxidized and to have participated in an electrophilic addition reaction with the internal alkene of a second molecule of 1-phenylbuta-1,3-diene (2 in the scheme below). The terminal double bond of this second molecule of 1-phenylbuta-1,3-diene has taken part in a Diels–Alder reaction with a boron-substituted diene (depicted as the boronic acid-substituted diene 3 in the scheme below). This rationalization also requires a hydrolysis of the starting dienyl trifluoroborate (I). Organotrifluoroborates are known to hydrolyze easily in mildly basic acetone/water mixtures (Yuen & Hutton, 2005). We suspect there may still be traces of methoxide present after the preparation of (I), and this catalyzes the hydrolysis required by the production of (II).
The molecular structure of (II) is depicted in Fig. 1 and selected geometric parameters are given in Table 1. Bond lengths and angles in or near the B-atom coordination sphere are normal (Table 1). The B1—C3 bonds in (II) are similar to other B—Csp2 bonds in boronate ester compounds that have been reported recently (Scheme 3), for example, 1.555–1.588 Å in (V) (Coghlan et al., 2005), (VI) (Darwish et al., 2004) and (VII) (Pohl et al., 2004). Likewise the B—O and C—O bond lengths here are in the range of those reported for (V)–(VII) (1.35–1.38 Å and 1.45–1.47 Å). The O—B—O bond angles in (II) and (V)–(VII) are all 113 ± 1°, the C—C—B bond angles are all 119 ± 1° and the C—B—O bond angles are all 123 ± 1°.
There are no accessible voids in the molecular structure of (II). Steric factors seem to dictate the orientation of the styryl (C15—C16—Ph) group. Some nonbonded contacts are notable, involving the styryl C=C H15 atom on C15 with neighboring HC atoms (H15···H18 = 2.21 Å, H15···H2A = 2.65 Å and H15···C30' = 3.01 Å). Any rotation of the coplanar (to within 0.009 Å; C15 displaced by 0.31 Å) C16—Ph group that would elongate the 2.39 Å H16···O1 contact would simultaneously shorten the H15···H18, H15···H2A and H15···C2 contacts or the H15-to-aromatic ring (intramolecular) and H19-to-aromatic ring (intermolecular) contacts depending upon the direction of rotation. The styryl (C15/C16/Ph) group is distorted from planarity by 17° as determined by the angle between normals to the C15/C16/C17 and C17–C22 least-squares mean planes, respectively.
