The structure of the title compound, C21H25NO3, comprises a U-shaped mol­ecule with two disordered atoms in the pentene chain. The two components of the two disordered alkane C atoms exist with unequal partial occupancies of 0.70 and 0.30. The dihedral angle between the planar imide ring [r.m.s. deviation 0.038 (3) Å] and the phenyl ring is 62.56 (14)°. C—H...O close contacts are observed from two different aromatic C atoms to the two oxo O atoms.

Comment top

The title compound, (I), was prepared by a Diels–Alder reaction between 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-pyrroline-2,5-dione and 7-methyl-3-methyleneocta-1,6-diene. The naming of (I) has proved difficult with several variants for the main ring system being previously given. The basic unsubstituted structure (Kirfel, 1976) was named as a tetrahydrophthalimide and several other substituted analogues have been similarly named, although numbering schemes differ significantly as to which four atoms are saturated. Other names include hydroisoindoline-1,3-dione (with differing numbers of saturated C atoms), cyclohex-4-ene-1,2-dicarboximide and azabicyclo[4.3.0]non-3-ene-7,9-dione, with the first being the most popular. The structure of (I) comprises a U-shaped molecule with two disordered atoms in the pentene chain (Fig. 1). The shape is dependent on the boat conformation displayed by the hydrophthalimide group. Of 136 current structures (Cambridge Structural Database, September 2002 release; Allen, 2002) containing a phthalimide ring similar to (I), only 48 do not have any bridging across the cyclohexene ring. From the 48, 23 compounds contain an N-phenyl moiety, of which 11 compounds share a similar boat conformation to (I). This conformation is also displayed by 5-(2-methyl-1,3-dioxo-2,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-isoindol-5-yl)pent-2-enoic acid (Yliniemala et al., 1995) which is the nearest structural analogue to (I). In this structure, the pent-2-enoic acid chain is not disordered. In (I), the two components (A and B) of the two disordered alkane C atoms (C51 and C52) exist with unequal partial occupancies of 0.70 and 0.30, respectively, for A and B. The dihedral angle between the planar imide ring [r.m.s. deviation 0.038 (3) Å] and the phenyl ring is 62.56 (14)°. C—H···O close contacts are observed from two different aromatic C atoms to the two oxo O atoms (Table 1).

Experimental top

The title compound was obtained from Key Organics Ltd and crystals were grown from ethanol solution.

Refinement top

All H atoms were included in the refinement, at calculated positions, as riding models, with C—H distances of 0.95 (Ar—H), 1.00 (CH), 0.99 (CH2) and 0.98 Å (CH3), while the isotropic displacement parameters were set at 1.25Ueq of the preceeding normal atom. The Rint value of 0.129 was the result of weak high-angle data.
