13-cis-β,β-Carotene, C40H56, crystallizes with a complete mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, whereas 15-cis-β,β-carotene, also C40H56, has twofold symmetry about an axis through the central bond of the polyene chain. The polyene methyl groups are arranged on one side of the polyene chains for each mol­ecule and the 6-s-cis β end groups, with the cyclohexene rings in half-chair conformations, are twisted out of the planes of the polyene chains by angles ranging from 41.37 (17) to 52.2 (4)°. The mol­ecules in each structure pack so that the arms of one occupy the cleft of the next, and there is significant π–π stacking of the almost-parallel polyene chains of the 15-cis isomer, which approach at distances of 3.319 (1)–3.591 (1) Å.

Comment top

Carotenes have the general formula C40H56, and are chromophores responsible for the orange colour in carrots and many other fruits and vegetables. The structure of all-trans-β,β-carotene has been determined a number of times [Sterling, 1964; Senge et al., 1992; Hursthouse et al., 2004; Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Allen, 2002) refcodes CARTEN, CARTEN01 and CARTEN02], but none of the cis-isomers has been characterized crystallographically. Carotenoids readily undergo transcis (E/Z) isomerization in organic solvents (Zechmeister, 1963) and cis-isomers are the most abundant artefacts formed during isolation procedures (Liaaen-Jensen, 1997). Kinetic and thermodynamic data for the thermal interconversion of all-trans-beta-carotene and the 13-cis-, (I), and 15-cis-, (II), isomers have been published (von Doering et al., 1995). The 13-cis isomer, (I), is formed readily in a kinetically controlled process, whereas the 9-cis-isomer is the dominant cis-isomer in iodine-catalyzed equilibrium mixtures (Zechmeister, 1963; Molnár & Szabolcs, 1993), assumed to represent the thermodynamic equilibrium (Refvem et al., 1999). The 15-cis-isomer, (II), is formed only in minor quantities at equilibrium conditions (Zechmeister, 1963; Molnár & Szabolcs, 1993; Schirle et al., 1995). Nevertheless, the natural occurrence of the 15-cis-isomer, (II), is well demonstrated in photosynthetic systems, where it serves an important function (Koyama & Mubai, 1993). The kinetically favoured 13-cis-isomer, (I), has been reported, e.g. from human tissues, including serum (Stahl et al., 1992). The 9-cis-isomer is a dominant isomer of beta-carotene in the green alga Dunaliella spp. grown under stressed conditions (Ben-Amotz et al., 1988). Here, we report the structures of 13-cis-beta-carotene, (I), and 15-cis-beta-carotene, (II).

The structures of the (I) and (II) are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively. For (I), the asymmetric unit consists of the whole molecule, due to the asymmetry of the polyene chain. The methyl groups along the polyene chain are all on the outside of the bent chain, presumably to minimize steric crowding of the methyl groups. The end rings are in the 6 - s-cis conformation, where 6 - s-cis (6-single-cis) defines the conformation of the single bond at the 6-position, connecting the substituted cyclohexene ring and the polyene chain. The other alternative is 6 - s-trans, which is shown in the second scheme. The end rings are twisted out of the plane of the polyene chain by angles defined by the C5—C6—C7—C8 and C5A—C6A—C7A—C8A torsion angles of 47.6 (4) and 52.2 (4)°, respectively. Although the end rings are nonplanar, the C5—C6—C7—C8 torsion angle is normally used to define the angle of twist, since it describes the nonplanarity between the best planes through the double-bond systems of the ring and the polyene chain (Sundaralingam & Beddell, 1972; Mo, 1995). In (II), the asymmetric unit contains half the molecule, and the entire molecule is generated by means of a twofold axis at the centre of the C15—C15A bond. As for (I), the methyl groups along the bent polyene chain are all on the outside, and the crystallographically equivalent end rings are in the 6 - s-cis conformation at an angle to the plane of the polyene chain of -41.37 (17)°.

In both structures, the cyclohexene end rings are in the half-chair conformation, as is generally found for carotenoids with cyclohexene β end rings (Sundaralingam & Beddell, 1972; Mo, 1995). In the half-chair conformation, which is the most stable conformation for cyclohexene rings, four atoms are approximately coplanar and the fifth and sixth atoms, opposite the double bond, lie above and below this plane. For (I), atoms C2 and C3 are displaced from the best plane through atoms C1/C4–C6 by -0.334 (3) and 0.422 (3) Å, respectively, and atoms C2A and C3A are displaced from the plane defined by atoms C1A/C4–C6 by 0.325 (3) and -0.434 (3) Å, respectively. Similarly, atoms C2 and C3 in (II) are displaced from the corresponding plane by 0.402 (1) and -0.342 (1) Å, respectively. Within the cyclohexene ring, the largest torsion angle is about the C2—C3 bond (Clayden et al., 2000; Sundaralingam & Beddell, 1972; Mo, 1995; Table 1) and takes values of 62.9 (3) and 62.7 (3)° for the two end rings of (I), and -61.70 (12)° for (II) (where the two end rings are crystallographically equivalent). The smallest torsion angle is about the C5C6 double bond (Table 1).

The structures of (I) and (II) can be compared with that of all-trans-β,β-carotene, which is centrosymmetric, with the four polyene chain methyl groups arranged in pairs along each side of the polyene chain and a pronounced S-shape of the chain, arising from steric crowding of the methyl groups. Again, the β end rings are in the 6 - s-cis conformation and the C5—C6—C7—C8 torsion angle is -41.6 (6)° (Senge et al., 1992; CSD refcode CARTEN01; Allen, 2002). The end rings are in the half-chair conformation, but disorder in a 0.5:0.5 ratio of atoms C2 and C3 was seen, indicating that both possible half-chair conformations are present in the crystal structure. This is in contrast with the structures of (I) and (II), where no such disorder is observed. The fact that, in all three structures, the end rings are found to be in the 6 - s-cis conformation and twisted out of the plane of the polyene chain by about 40–50° is in keeping with most of the other carotenoids and xanthophyll structures with β end rings (Mo, 1995), and agrees with calculated values for a number of such molecules (Hashimoto et al., 2002). It is assumed that this preferred conformation arises from steric crowding between the end-ring methyl groups and the H atoms bonded to atoms C7 and C8. There are some exceptions including, for example, (3R,3S',meso)-zeaxanthin, with 6 - s-cis end rings and a C5—C6—C7—C8 torsion angle of ±74.9 (3)° (Bartalucci et al., 2007), zeaxanthin-3,3'-diyl bis[(-)-(1R)-2-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)cyclohexyl [closing] missing - please complete] (Linden et al. 2004), which has one β end ring in the s-trans conformation and the other in the s-cis conformation, with C5—C6—C7—C8 torsion angles of 144.5 (6) and 48.5 (8)°, respectively, and β-8'-β-apocarotenal (Drikos et al., 1988), with an s-trans β end ring and a C5—C6—C7—C8 torsion angle of -158.4 (8)°; these deviations from the expected values may arise from packing forces in the crystal structures (Mo, 1995).

The polyene chains in (I), (II) and all-trans-β,β-carotene are significantly nonplanar, as shown by the torsion angles along the polyene chains, which deviate by up to about 8° from 180° for (I), 9° for (II) and 5° for all-trans-β,β-carotene. The methyl groups deviate likewise from the plane of the polyene chain.

Fig. 3. shows the packing of (I), illustrating how the short arm of one molecule fits into the cleft made by the next molecule. There is often a high degree of ππ stacking between the polyene chains of carotenoid molecules aligned above one other (Bartalucci et al., 2007). In this case, there is a close approach of the molecules of 3.465 (4) Å between atoms C10 and C14A(1 + x, y, z), but the polyene chains become further and further apart, away from this point of minimum distance (Fig. 4). In addition, atom C12 shows a short contact to the methyl group C20A(1 + x, y, z) of 3.415 (4) Å, and the C12 and C13 distances to H20F(1 + x, y, z) are 2.711 (3) and 2.797 (3) Å, respectively (Fig. 4). Other contacts are van der Waals interactions, with the shortest contact between adjacent molecules being 3.374 (4) Å between methyl groups C19A and C19A(-x - 1,-y + 1,-z) (Fig. 4).

The packing of (II) is shown in Fig. 5 and again the molecules fit together so that the arms of one molecule fit into the cleft of the next. This time, however, there is significant ππ stacking between adjacent polyene chains which are arranged almost parallel above one other, with intermolecular distances ranging from 3.319 (1) to 3.591 (1) Å between atom pairs C9 and C15(1 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z), and C13 and C10(1 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z) (Fig. 6). Other contacts are normal van der Waals interactions.

Experimental top

The 13-cis- [(I)] and 15-cis- [(II)] isomers of beta-carotene used here were samples prepared by total synthesis (Ben-Amotz et al., 1988; Bernhard & Mayer, 1991), kindly provided by Hoffmann–La Roche, Basel. Both isomers were recrystallized from pyridine and water [Ratio of solvents?] by vapour diffusion techniques.

Refinement top

H atoms were included in calculated positions, with C—H distances varying in the range 0.95–0.99 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). Methyl group H atoms were defined using the AFIX 137 command (SHELXL97; Sheldrick, 2008), which varies the torsion angle to maximize the electron density at the three H-atom positions.

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.

Special details top

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.
