The title compounds can be synthesized almost quantitatively by boiling the corresponding biphenyl diol in toluene for 12 h in the presence of catalytic amounts of toluenesulfonic acid with the reaction vessel connected to a water extractor (Wittig & Zimmermann, 1955). Compound (I) (m.p. 422 K) was crystallized from methyl tert-butyl ether/toluene (Ratio?) and compound (II) (m.p. 576 K) was crystallized from neat toluene.
For each structure, the methyl H atoms were constrained to an ideal geometry (C—H = 0.98 Å) with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), but were allowed to rotate freely about the parent C—O or C—C bond. All remaining H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions (C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å) and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). For (I), a difference Fourier map showed that the H atoms of the methyl group at atom C9 adopted two disordered orientations which differ by a rotation of the group by approximately 50°. Therefore, two idealized orientations were defined for these H atoms and constrained refinement of the site occupation factors led to a value of 0.55 (2) for the major conformation. For (I) and (II), two and five low-angle reflections, respectively, had unexpectedly low intensities as a result of being partially obscured by the beam stop and were omitted.

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. |

Molecules containing a chiral axis are becoming increasingly important in asymmetric synthesis, as chiral ligands or auxiliaries (Spring et al., 2002), as well as being potential pharmaceuticals (Bringmann et al., 2002). During our investigation of the synthesis of axially chiral amino alcohols by a simple ring-opening reaction of substituted dibenzo[c,e]oxepines (Furegati & Rippert, 2002), we obtained crystals of the title compounds, (I) and (II), respectively. As we are interested in the conformation of dibenzo-annellated seven-membered rings and the angle between the aromatic ring planes in general (Schneider et al., 2000), and, in particular, in the orientation of the phenyl substituents in the molecule of compound (II), we have determined the crystal structures of the title compounds. \sch
In both (I) and (II), the bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges. Both molecules possess crystallographic C2 symmetry, with the twofold axis passing through the middle of the biphenyl bond (which corresponds with the C3—C4 bond in the oxepine nomenclature) and the O atom of the seven-membered ring. In compound (I), the H atoms of the methyl group at atom C9 adopt two disordered nearly equally occupied orientations, which differ by a rotation of the group by approximately 50°.
The oxepine ring in (I) and (II) adopts a twisted-boat conformation, in which one O—C bond and the opposing C—C bond that is fused to one of the phenyl rings forms the floor of the boat [for example, atoms C1, C2, O1 and C7(1 − x, y, 1/2 − z)]. The choice of O—C bond is irrelevant because of the molecular C2 symmetry. The angles between the planes defined by this four-atom floor and the three-atom bow plane [atoms C2, C7 and O1] of the boat are 48.22 (12) and 44.03 (14)° for (I) and (II), respectively, while the angles between the floor and the four-atom stern [atoms C1, C1(1 − x, y, 1/2 − z), C2(1 − x, y, 1/2 − z) and C7(1 − x, y, 1/2 − z) for (I), similarly for (II)] of the boat are 52.66 (8) and 54.72 (1)°, respectively. In (I), the angle between the planes of the biphenyl aromatic rings is 52.92 (6), whereas in (II), the angle is almost 9° greater, at 61.47 (8)°. The latter is a rather large angle for a biphenyl with a three-atom bridge and its possible cause is discussed below.
The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, January 2004 release; Allen, 2002) contains the details of seven structures of 5,7-dihydrodibenzo[c,e]oxepines (no dinaphth[c,e]oxepines were found). Two of these structures are transition-metal complexes and so were discarded. Out of the remaining five structures, only two had peri substituents at the biphenyl moiety (Schmid et al., 1988; Roszak et al., 1996). Both structures show a twisted-boat conformation; the angle between the four-atom floor and the three-atom bow plane is in the range 44.0–50.1°, while the angle between the floor and the four-atom stern of the boat is in the range 54.1–55.5°. The angle between the planes of the biphenyl aromatic rings in these compounds is in the range 49.2–56.6°. All of these values are very similar to those in compounds (I) and (II). In the three structures with no substituents at the peri positions of the biphenyl moiety (Nieger et al., 1998; Carey et al., 2002), the outlined angles are again in similar ranges; floor/bow: 39.5–46.2°, floor/stern: 48.1–52.5° and biphenyl ring plane angle: 46.2–50.4°. Although two of these structures have a similar 5,5,7,7-tetraphenyl substitution pattern to compound (II), the angles between the planes of the biphenyl aromatic rings are no larger than usual, unlike that in (II). Therefore, the tetraphenyl substitution pattern alone does not introduce sufficient steric constraints to cause an increase in the biphenyl plane angle, but in combination with the addition of substituents at the peri position of the biphenyl moiety, as in compound (II), there is apparently sufficient steric strain to cause a significant increase in this angle.
A previous analysis of related dibenz- and dinaphthazepine derivatives (Schneider et al., 2000), which have an N atom in the seven-membered ring in place of the O atom, revealed quite similar conformational properties for both the conformation of the seven-membered ring and the angle between the planes of the biphenyl (or binaphthyl) aromatic rings.
