Comment top

Incorporation of N-donor atoms into the macrocyclic framework of crown ethers gives aza-crown analogues which can display increased binding strength and selectivity towards transition and post-transition metal ions (Bradshaw et al., 1996). We have reported the preparation of a range of benzo-aza-crown ethers by a protocol involving reductive cyclization of nitroarenes bearing aldehyde-containing side chains (Ventrice et al., 1999, 2001). An X-ray structure determination of the benzoyl derivative, (I), was undertaken to establish the conformation of this compound (Fig. 1).

Experimental top

Sodium hydroxide (10% aq.) (10 ml) was added to 2,3,5,6,9,10,11,12-octahydro-8H-1,4,7,12-benzotrioxaazacyclotetradecine (50 mg, 0.20 mmol) dissolved in THF (10 ml). This mixture was allowed to stir for 10 min, benzoyl chloride (56 mg, 0.40 mmol) was added dropwise and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 24 h. The reaction was poured into water (50 ml) and extracted into CH2Cl2 (3 × 50 ml), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a yellow oil. Excess benzoyl chloride was removed on the high vacuum pump. Column chromatography of the residue (SiO2, 20% EtOAc/hexane) gave amide (I) as a yellow oil which solidified on standing (70 mg, 99%). Dichloromethane (10 ml) was added to the amide and single crystals suitable for X-ray structure determination were obtained by slow evaporation of the solution; m.p: 415.4–417.6 K.

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.
