Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C22H24ClNO2, the piperidine ring adopts a boat conformation. Intra- and inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are observed. The inter­molecular inter­actions were qu­anti­fied and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, revealing that H⋯H inter­actions contribute most to the crystal packing (56.1%).

1. Chemical context

Piperidin-4-one derivatives represent a significant class of heterocyclic compounds widely documented for their versatility in the field of medicinal chemistry. The piperidin-4-one scaffold serves as a valuable synthetic inter­mediate and as a promising pharmacophore showing diverse biological activities (Sahu et al., 2013). Among piperidin-4-one derivatives, 3-alkyl-2,6-di­aryl­piperidin-4-one derivatives have been extensively investigated, particularly with respect to their synthesis, stereochemistry, and diverse biological activities. 3-Alkyl-2,6-di­aryl­piperidone derivatives predominantly adopt a chair conformation with an equatorial orientation of the alkyl and phenyl substituents (Pandiarajan et al., 1991). The introduction of groups such as –NO, –CHO, –COCH3, and N—COCH2Cl onto the ring nitro­gen atom of a 2,6-di­aryl­piperidin-4-one moiety significantly alter the ring conformation and the orientation of its substituents. Delocalization of the nitro­gen lone pair into the –COR π-system imparts partial double-bond character to the —N—CO linkage, thereby restricting its rotation. The steric inter­action between the N—CO group and the neighbouring equatorial substituent causes mol­ecular strain, which is relieved by adopting a chair form with an axial orientation of the phenyl substituents or a boat form with one phenyl substituent in the flagpole position. The effects of such substitutions on the geometry of the piperidin-4-one nucleus have been extensively reported. Structural variations such as N-benzoyl (Krishnapillay et al., 2000), N-nitroso (Ravindran et al., 1991), N-formyl (Pandiarajan et al., 1997), N-chloro­acetyl (Aridoss et al., 2007a,b; Divyabharathi et al., 2024) and N-thio­cyanato­acetyl (Karthiga et al., 2024, 2025) derivatives have all been studied. Furthermore, investigations into the DNA-binding properties of N-acetyl analogues (Mohanraj & Ponnuswamy, 2018) and their anti­bacterial activities (Aridoss et al., 2008) have also been reported. In the present work, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1-(2-chloro­acet­yl)-3-methyl-2,6-bis­(4-methyl­phen­yl)piperidin-4-one, are reported.1.

2. Structural commentary

The mol­ecular structure is presented in Fig. 1. The compound is chiral due to the presence of stereogenic centres. Although the mol­ecular structure depicted in Fig. 1 shows the 2R,3S,6S enanti­omer, the crystal contains a racemic mixture of enanti­omers. The O1—C3 [1.207 (2) Å] and O2—C6 [1.221 (2) Å] bond lengths confirm the double-bond character. The sum of the angles around atom N1 (357.1°) indicates that nitro­gen adopts an almost trigonal–planar geometry. Conjugation between the carbonyl group and the adjacent C—C bond, combined with steric hindrance from the chloro­methyl substituent, restricts free rotation about the C6—C7 bond. This limited rotational freedom results in distinct preferred conformations, which is reflected in the observed torsion angles O2—C6—C7—Cl1 [100.5 (2)°] and N1—C6—C7—Cl1 [−80.4 (2)°]. The piperidine ring adopts a boat conformation; the puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) are: q2 = 0.677 (2) Å, q3 = −0.060 (2) Å, QT = 0.680 (2) Å and φ = 107.4 (2)°. Atoms C2 and C5 in the piperidine ring (N1/C1–C5) deviate by −0.528 (2) and −0.604 (2) Å, respectively, from the least-squares plane through the remaining four atoms. The methyl­phenyl rings C8–C13 and C15–C21 are planar, with their attached methyl atoms C14 and C22 deviate by −0.024 (3) and 0.003 (3) Å, respectively, from their ring planes. These methyl­phenyl rings are oriented with a dihedral angle of 51.7 (1)° with respect to each other. A weak intra­molecular contact (Table 1) between a methine H atom and the Cl atom attached to the 2-chloro­acetaldehyde moiety (C6/O2/C7/Cl1) leads to the stabilization of the mol­ecular conformation. This C5—H5⋯Cl1 inter­action forms an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995), as shown in Fig. 1.

3. Supra­molecular features

In the crystal, mol­ecules associate pairwise via C1—H1⋯Cl1i hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into inversion dimers with an Inline graphic(12) graph-set motif (Etter et al., 1990), as shown in Fig. 2. Moreover, mol­ecules are further linked into an Inline graphic(14) graph-set motif by C—H⋯π inter­actions, C7—H7ACg, where Cg is the centroid of the symmetry-related C8–C13 benzene ring at (2 − x, 2 − y, 1 − z) (Table 1).

4. Hirshfeld surface analysis

The inter­molecular inter­actions were qu­anti­fied by a Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis (Spackman & Jayatilaka, 2009) using CrystalExplorer (Spackman et al., 2021). The HS mapped over dnorm is illustrated in Fig. 3. where no red spot occurs. This represents the non-availability of potential hydrogen bonds in this crystal. The associated two-dimensional fingerprint plots (McKinnon et al., 2007) provide qu­anti­tative information about the non-covalent inter­actions in the crystal packing in terms of the percentage contribution of the inter­atomic contacts (Spackman & McKinnon, 2002). The overall two-dimensional fingerprint plot is shown in Fig. 4a (top left). The HS analysis reveals that H⋯H and H⋯O/O⋯H contacts are the main contributors to the crystal packing followed by H⋯C/C⋯H, H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H, Cl⋯C/C⋯Cl, C⋯C and Cl⋯O/O⋯Cl contacts; see Fig. 4bh.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

The compound has been previously reported, and all characterization data are consistent with those described by Aridoss et al., 2007a,b. The compound was synthesized by mixing 3-methyl-2,6-di-p-tolyl­piperidin-4-one (0.75 g, 2.5 mmol) and chloro­acetyl chloride (1.0 mL, 10 mmol). The mixture was stirred in anhydrous benzene (50 mL) at room temperature. Then, tri­ethyl­amine (1.4 mL, 10 mmol) was added as a base to initiate the reaction. The reaction mixture was maintained at room temperature for 6 h. Upon completion, the precipitated tri­ethyl­ammonium chloride salt was removed by filtration. The resulting organic layer was washed thoroughly with water then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed and the crude product was recrystallized from a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (9:1, v/v) to afford the product as colourless crystals.

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2. All H atoms were placed in idealized positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms: C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for other H atoms.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
