L-(-)-Tyrosine hydrazide (1.95 g, 10 mmol) was added to a mixture of triethyl orthopropionate (8.88 g, 50 mmol, 10 ml) and p-TsOH (0.1 g) and kept under reflux for 20 h (thin-layer chromatography). After cooling, the mixture was washed with water (30 ml), dried over MgSO4 and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude solid was crystallized from ethyl acetate to give colourless crystals of (Ib) (2.47 g, 78%; m.p. 446–448 K). [α]D20 0.0 (MeOH, c 1). Analysis, calculated for C17H23N3O3: C 64.32, H 7.32, N 13.23%; found: C 64.19, H 7.27, N 13.29%. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6, δ, p.p.m.): 0.78 (3H, t, J = 7.5 Hz, C2—R: CH2CH3), 1.02 (3H, t, J = 7.5 Hz, N1—R: CH2CH3), 1.22 (3H, t, J = 7.2 Hz, OCH2CH3), 1.47–1.67 (2H, m, R: CH2CH3), 2.21 (2H, q, J = 7.5 Hz, R: CH2CH3), 2.80–2.87 (1H, dd, J = 6.0 and 13.8 Hz, Ph—CH2–), 3.02–3.09 (1H, dd, J = 6.0 and 13.8 Hz, Ph—CH2–), 4.18 (2H, q, J = 7.2 Hz, OCH2CH3), 4.29 (1H, br s, C4: H), 6.59 (2H, d, J = 7.8 Hz, Ar: H3', H5'), 6.92 (2H, d, J = 7.8 Hz, Ar: H2', H6'), 9.17 (1H, s, OH). 13C NMR (DMSO-d6, δ, p.p.m.): 9.2, 9.4, 13.8, 21.3, 22.0, 35.0, 63.1, 66.5, 114.4, 126.1, 130.5, 156.1, 164.0, 175.5, 176.2.
The molecular geometries of the (Ib) isomers were optimized using standard density functional theory (DFT) and employed the B3LYP hybrid functional (Becke, 1988, 1993; Lee et al., 1988) with the 6-311++G** level of theory. All species corresponded to the minima at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level with no imaginary frequencies. The conformational energy was calculated at the 6-311++G** level. In each rotamer, the geometric parameters were fully relaxed, except for the constrained C17—C16—C4—N3 torsion angle. The values of this angle were chosen using a step size of 10° within the range -180 to 180°. All calculations were performed using the GAUSSIAN09 program package (Frisch et al., 2010).
All H atoms were generated in idealized positions and treated as riding, with aromatic C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), Csp3—H = 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), methylene C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), and methyl C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), and with O—H = 0.82 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

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. |

Carboxylic acid hydrazides constitute useful precursors for the synthesis of nitrogen- and nitrogen/oxygen-containing heterocycles. Numerous transformations of this class of compounds are known to lead to four-membered azetidines (Amr et al., 2008), five-membered pyrroles (Alawandi & Kulkarni, 2006), 1,3,4-oxadiazoles (Dabiri et al., 2006; Leiby, 1984) or1,2,4-triazoles (Francis et al., 1991; Taha & El-Badry, 2007) and to six-membered systems such as substituted pyrimidines (Elgemeie et al., 2001), oxadiazines (Dubey et al., 2005) or triazines (Neunhoeffer & Klein-Cullmann, 1992; Lobanov et al., 1991). One subgroup of the hydrazide family is the class of α-aminocarboxylic acid hydrazides, which are compounds containing at least two potential reaction sites. They react with equimolar quantities of triethyl orthoesters to yield 2-(1-amino-1-phenylmethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazin-6-ones (Kudelko et al., 2011). We found that the product formed depended strongly on the basicity of the amino group, which was influenced by the electronic nature and steric hindrance of substituents adjacent to the α C atom. In contrast, transformations conducted with excess orthoester may follow a different path due to the fact that both nitrogen nucleophilic centres may react fully with the ethoxymethylene synthon. Thus, heating of L-(-)-tyrosine hydrazide in an excess of the orthoester resulted in the formation of another five-membered heterocycle, (I), 1-[(1-ethoxypropylidene)amino]-4-(4-hydroxybenzyl)imidazol-5(4H)-one. Imidazole derivatives have attracted interest in medicinal chemistry mainly for their antifungal, antiprotozoal and antihypertensive activities (Shargel et al., 2010). They have also been utilized as corrosion inhibitors, as ionic liquids, and for the production of thermally stable polymers (Grimmet, 1984; Lin, 1988). Here, we report the synthesis and the crystal structure of the title compound, (Ib), which resulted from the reaction of L-(-)-tyrosine hydrazide with triethyl orthopropionate in the presence of catalytic quantities of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH).
Compound (Ib) is racemic and crystallizes in a centrosymmetric monoclinic space group with one molecule (isomer) in the asymmetric unit. The molecular structure of (Ib) (isomer 4R) is depicted in Fig. 1, and selected geometric data are given in Table 1. In the studied molecule, two planar fragments may be distinguished, viz. the benzene and the imidazole rings, linked by two C—C single bonds. These rings are not coplanar, the dihedral angle between them being 59.54 (5)°. An intramolecular C9—H9B···N1 hydrogen bond (Table 2) forms a five-membered quasi-ring which makes a dihedral angle of 73.82 (6)° with the imidazole ring. The molecule of (Ib) adopts a synclinal conformation with respect to rotation around the C4—C16 bond. A density functional theory (DFT) study also predicts this conformation as the preferential one for an isolated molecule of (Ib). The remaining rotamers resulting from the former rotation of 60° along the C4—C16 bond are less stable in the following order: synclinal by 0.40–0.82 kcal mol-1, antiperiplanar by 2.12–2.23 kcal mol-1, anticlinal by 2.51–3.24 kcal mol-1, synperiplanar by 5.42–5.97 kcal mol-1 and anticlinal by 6.14–6.42 kcal mol-1 (1 kcal mol-1 = 4.184 kJ mol-1). Amide atom N1 lies only 0.118 (1) Å out of the plane defined by the three neighbouring atoms (C2, C5 and C7). Therefore, the sum of the valence angles around atom N1 of 357.85° demonstrates sp2 hybridization (360° for sp2 and 328° for sp3). The N1—N7 bond length is typical of the N—N distance between two trigonal N atoms (Allen et al., 1987). The imidazolone moiety contains two localized double bonds [O6═C5 = 1.201 (4) Å and N3—C2 = 1.275 (4) Å], the lengths of which are in good agreement with the literature data (Nalepa et al., 1999; Zhang & Jiao, 2006; Sun et al., 2007) and similar ring systems found in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version?; Allen, 2002). Two C—N bonds located between them (N1—C2 and N1—C5) exhibit intermediate values due to π-electron delocalization between the C═N and C═O groups. The other two bonds within the imidazole ring (N3—C4 and C4—C5) are common single bonds. In the studied molecule, the remaining bond lengths and angles are not unusual. There are no significant differences between the geometry of (Ib) in the crystalline state and the calculated structure; the differences do not exceed 0.02 Å for bond lengths, 2° for bond angles and 10° for torsion angles.
To estimate the influence of π-electron delocalization in the imidazolone group on the aromaticity of the benzene ring, the HOMA (harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity) index (Kruszewski & Krygowski, 1973; Krygowski, 1993) was calculated. This descriptor of aromaticity is a leading method for the quantitative determination of cyclic π-electron delocalization in chemical compounds. It is based on the geometric criterion of aromaticity, which stipulates that bond lengths in aromatic systems are between values that are typical for single and double bonds (Kruszewski & Krygowski, 1973; Krygowski, 1993). Therefore, HOMA = 0 for a model non-aromatic system, e.g. the Kekulé structure of benzene, and HOMA = 1 for the system with all bonds equal to the optimal value, assumed to be realised for full aromatic systems. The HOMA value [based on B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) optimized geometries] for the benzene ring of (Ib) (0.983) is almost identical to the value calculated for the 4-methylphenol ring (0.984). This result is evidence that both π-electron delocalization regions in the molecule of (Ib) are separated from each other and do not interact significantly.
The crystal structure of (Ib) is presented in Fig. 2. The –OH substituent on the benzene ring forms an intermolecular hydrogen bond with atom N3 of the imidazole ring of a neighbouring molecule. These interactions form zigzag chains extending along the c axis.
