The reaction of 1,2-diacet­oxycyclo­octane-5,6-dione with ortho-phenyl­enediamine in acetic acid gave trans-6,7,8,9,10,11-hexa­hydro­cyclo­octa­[b]quinoxaline-8,9-diyl diacetate, C18H20N2O4. The saturated H atoms in the structure display almost perfect gauche orientations and the two acet­oxy groups are oriented almost perfectly anti­periplanar. There are C—H...N bonding inter­actions linking the mol­ecules into chains and inter­molecular π–π stacking inter­actions between pyrazine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6569 (9) Å and perpendicular distance = 3.426 Å].

We have been interested in exploiting the potential of the readily available cis,cis-1,5-cyclooctadiene (1) for the synthesis of heterocycles. Following earlier work (Yates et al., 1972) we dihydroxylated the diene with hydrogen peroxide and formic acid, diacetylated the resulting diol (2) giving (3) and oxidized the remaining double bond to the 5,6-dione (4) using KMnO4, CuSO4, Cu(OAc)2. Condensation of this diketone with ortho-phenylenediamine produced the corresponding quinoxaline (5) cleanly, and significantly, with no ammonolytic loss of the acetoxy groups. A crystal structure of the quinoxaline-diacetate (Figure 1) revealed a trans disposition of the acetoxy groups confirming the trans orientation of the two alcoholic groups in the initial dihydroxylation product. The two (CH2CH2) chains which lead away from the quinoxaline 2- and 3-positions align to place the H atoms in a close-to-perfect gauche relationship: the relevant torsion angles for the H atoms on carbons C2 and C3 are, to the nearest whole number, 49, 67, 51, and 166° and those for C7 and C6, 35, 81, 82, and 163°.

The dihedral angle between the two acetoxy groups is 155.9° - remarkably close to the 180° required for these two groups to be perfectly antiperiplanar.

One other significant aspect of the structure is intermolecular C—H···N hydrogen bonding of the two acetyl methyl groups to an adjacent quinoxaline nitrogen, linking the molecules into chains (Figure 2, Table 1). There is also intermolecular ππ-stacking of the N1—C1—C8—N2—C14—C9 rings linking pairs of molecules in adjacent H bonded chains, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.6569 (9) Å and a perpendicular distance of 3.426 Å (symmetry operation 2 - x,2 - y,-z; Figure 2).

Also of interest is that in the solid-state, one of the methyl groups lies directly over the pyrazine ring and close enough that one would anticipate the 1H NMR chemical shift of that methyl group to be under the influence of the aromatic ring current. The methyl C16 lies just 4.14 Å from C9 and 4.16 Å from N1. However, solution-state 1H NMR measurement showed only one, six-proton signal for the two acetyl methyl groups at δ 1.72 indicating that rapid ring flipping in solution must cause averaging of the stereochemical situation and hence magnetic environment of these two groups.

Experimental top

1,2-Bis(acetoxy)cyclooctane-5,6-dione (0.5 g, 1.95 mmol) and ortho-phenylenediamine (0.21 g, 1.95 mmol) in acetic acid (10 ml) were heated at 368 K for 1 h. Water (20 ml) was added to the hot solution and, after cooling, the product was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 15 ml). The solvent was evaporated from the extract giving trans-6,7,8,9,10,11-hexahydrocycloocta[b]quinoxaline-8,9-diyl diacetate (0.48 g, 75 percent) which was recrystallized from ethanol, m.p. 391–392 K.

Refinement top

H atoms were included in calculated positions with C—H distances ranging from 0.95 to 1.00 Å and methyl H atoms allowed to rotate to give the best fit with the electron density. There is disorder of the atoms O1, O2, O3, C4 and C5 whose occupancies were constrained to sum to 1.0; the final occupancy of the highest occupancy component was 0.768 (4). The atoms of the lower occupancy fraction were refined isotropically. Restraints were applied to the C15—O1 and C15—O1B bond lengths.

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.
