(Received 16 November 2009; accepted 25 November 2009; online 4 December 2009)

In the title compound, C20H30N2, all bond distances and angles fall within the usual ranges but the C(ipso)—N distances [1.391 (5) and 1.398 (4) Å] are slightly shorter than the corresponding typical average distance of 1.42 (3) Å. The N atoms may be described as pyramidal sp3-hybridized with an N—H⋯H—N separation of 2.07 (2) Å. This is necessitated because the two C(bridgehead)—C(ipso)—N—C torsion angles [170.6 (4) and 172.6 (3)°] would require the amine H atoms to be in prohibitively close proximity if the N atoms were assumed to be sp2-hybridized.

Comment top

1,8-Bis(diamido)naphthalene (DAN) ligands have recently been employed in the preparation of thermally stable N-heterocyclic carbenes, germylenes, and stannylenes (Avent et al., 2004; Bazinet et al., 2007; Bazinet et al., 2003; Bazinet et al., 2001a). As a continuation of our study of N-heterocyclic silylenes (Hill et al., 2005; Li et al., 2006; Naka et al., 2004), we sought to prepare the corresponding silicon compound. The title compound, C20H30N2 (I), was selected as a scaffold on account of the potentially greater steric protection afforded the reactive silicon(II) atom by the neopentyl group compared to the more common isopropyl analog. Our results in this area will be presented elsewhere.

DAN ligands have also been examined in the realm of transition metal coordination chemistry (e.g. Lavoie et al., 2007, Bazinet et al., 2001b). Their titanium and zirconium complexes have been found to be effective catalysts for olefin polymerization (Lee et al., 2001).

In the structure of the title compound (Fig. 1), all bond distances and angles fall in the usual ranges (Bruno et al., 2002). The C(ipso)-N distances [1.391 (5) and 1.398 (4) Å] are slightly shorter than the corresponding distance of 1.42 (3) Å, obtained by averaging 228 distances in 62 related compounds reported to the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) (Allen, 2002). However, the difference is not statistically significant. An important feature of the structure is the location of the amine H atoms. Their positions are dependent on intermolecular hydrogen bonding (absent in our case), torsion angle ϕ [ = C(bridgehead)-C(ipso)-N—C], and hybridization of the N atoms. The ϕ angles in (I) [170.6 (4) and 172.6 (3)°], would require the amine H atoms to be in prohibitively close proximity if the N atoms are assumed to be sp2-hybridized. To avoid the steric conflict the N atoms are described as pyramidal sp3-hybridized with the N1—H1···H2—N2 separation of 2.07 (2) Å. In several related structures of DAN-derivatives reported to the CSD this problem is absent as the relative location of the N-substituents allows for intramolecular N—H···N hydrogen bonding. This is illustrated with dissimilar pairs of the ϕ angles: 84.5 and -114.3° in HEYHEY, 92.0 and 107.8° in NAKKAL, 107.0 and 95.6° in NAKKEP, 92.9 and -178.1° in NUPJEN, 67.9 and 167.2° in OHOKAX, -119.1 and 158.0° in KOCTEC.

Experimental top

The title compound was obtained by treatment of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene with 2,2-dimethylpropanoyl chloride followed by LiAlH4 reduction and aqueous work-up according to the procedure of Daniele et al. (2001). 1H– and 13C{1H}-NMR data were in agreement with literature values. Needle-like crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained from a solution of the title compound stored at -20 °C in THF for several weeks.

Refinement top

All non-amine H-atoms were placed in idealized locations and refined as riding with appropriate thermal displacement coefficients Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq(bearing atom). The amine H atoms were refined with the N—H distances restrained to 0.880 (1) Å and unconstrained thermal displacement coefficient. The refinement was performed with an 'anti-bumping' restraint. The Friedel pairs were merged.

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.
