The title compound, C22H16N2, is the first example of an ynamine with H atoms bonded to the terminal C atoms. The environment around each N atom is almost planar. The distances of the N atoms from a least squares plane fitted through each N atom and the surrounding three C atoms, are 0.087 (3) and 0.041 (4) Å. The dihedral angles between these two planes and the central phenyl­ene ring are 23.34 (14) and 34.57 (14)°. The two acetyl­ene groups have an anti conformation, keeping a conjugation through the central benzene ring. The freely refined lengths of Csp—H are 1.00 (5) and 0.93 (4) Å, consistent with those of reported acetyl­enes. The H atoms bound to terminal C atoms have short contacts with the neighboring acetyl­enic C and N atoms. The closest contacts are an H⋯N distance of 2.67 (5) Å and an H⋯C distance of 2.74 (5) Å.

Ynamines, where amino groups are connected to acetylene groups, are known to be unstable because of their high reactivity. Therefore, reports of crystal structures are limited to rather stable ynamines (Galli et al., 1988; Galli et al., 1989; Mayerle & Flandera, 1978; Okuno et al., 2006;) which carry some substituents, except for H atoms, on all C– and N-terminals. When H atoms are connected to C– or N-terminals, the stability of ynamines decreases drastically. In the course of our research in ynamine compounds to develop a conjugated linker, (Tabata et al., 2011) we have succeeded in preparation and characterization of the title compound. It is the first example of ynamines with H atoms in the C-terminals.

In the molecular structure, (Fig. 1) the geometric parameters are consistent with those of other reported ynamines. (Table 1) The bond lengths of Csp—H are 1.00 (5) Å and 0.93 (4) Å, where a marked difference is not recognized compared with those of other acetylenic compounds. The structures around the nitrogen atoms, plane (N1/C1/C7/C19) and plane (N2/C4/C13/C21), are almost planar, where the distances of the nitrogen atoms from the least squares planes are 0.087 (3) Å and 0.041 (4) Å, respectively. The dihedral angles of the plane (N1/C1/C7/C19) with the phenylene (C1/C2/C3/C4/C5/C6) and the phenyl rings (C7/C8/C9/C10/C11/C12) are 23.34 (14)° and 48.74 (15)°, respectively. The dihedral angles of the plane (N2/C4/C13/C21) with the phenylene (C1/C2/C3/C4/C5/C6) and the phenyl rings (C13/C14/C15/C16/C17/C18) are 34.57 (14)° and 29.28 (14)°, respectively. The two acetylene groups have an anti conformation, keeping a conjugation through the phenylene ring.

The H-atoms bound to C-terminals have short contacts with the neighboring acetylenic carbon and nitrogen atoms, giving Csp—H···π interactions. (Fig. 2, Table 2) The C20—H1 bond points to the C2(-x + 1, y + 1/2, -z) atom, where the closest contact is C20—H1···N1(-x + 1, y + 1/2, -z) of 2.67 (5) Å, indicating the interaction with the lone pair of N1. The H2 atom interacts with p-orbitals of an adjacent acetylenic carbon atom. The C22—H2 bond directs to the N1(x, y, z + 1) atom, with close contact C22—H2···C20(x, y, z + 1) of 2.74 (5) Å.

Experimental top

N1,N4-diethynyl-N1,N4-diphenyl-1,4- phenylenediamine

n-BuLi in n-hexane (15.5 ml, 24.6 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of N1,N4-bis(trichloroethenyl)-N1, N4-diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (2.00 g, 3.85 mmol) in dry THF (100 ml) at -78 °C under an argon atmosphere. After the solution was stirred for 1 h, methanol (1.3 ml) was added to the solution. It was allowed to warm to -10 °C and poured into water (50 ml). The water layer was extracted with ether (100 ml), and the combined organic layer was washed with saturated brine (20 ml), and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After the solvent was evaporated, the residue was purified by GPC to give 0.60 g (yield 50%) of the title compound as a reddish brown powder. The single crystals with sufficient quality were obtained by slow evaporation from a solution of chloroform in a refrigerator.

Refinement top

Friedel pairs were merged because the molecule itself was achiral and because there were not any anomalous scattering effects. Four reflections whose 2θ angles were lower than 8° were not used for refinement because of the effect of a beam stop. The C-bound H atoms were obtained from a difference Fourier map and were refined isotropically with the restriction of Csp—H range between 0.95 (4) Å and 1.15 (4) Å.
