Comment

Benzodiazepines are used for the purpose of hypnotic effects, owing to their less toxic and less severe withdrawal effects when compared with barbiturates (Gringauz, 1999). Benzodiazepines from aspergillus include asperlicin, which is used for treatment of gastrointestinal and central nervous system (CNS) disorders (Rahbaek et al.,1999). The other therapeutic applications (Lee et al., 1999) of benzodiazepines include vasopressin antagonists (Albright et al., 1998). In view of these importance and to ascertain the molecular conformation, crystallographic study of the title compound has been carried out.

The ORTEP diagram of the title compound is shown in Fig.1. The benzodiazepine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation. The puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) and the asymmetry parameters (Nardelli, 1983) for this ring are q2 = 0.933 (1) Å, q3 = 0.170 (1) Å, φ2 = 144.8 (1)°, φ3 = 18.0 (4)° and Δ2(C4)=13.2 (1)°. The sum of the bond angles at N1(359.8°) and N5(359.8°) of the benzodiazepine ring is in accordance with sp2 hybridization.

The crystal packing is controlled by N—H···O and C—H···O types of intermolecular interactions in addition to van der Waals forces. Atom N1 at (x, y, z) donates a proton to O2 (1 - x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 - z), which forms a C7 (Bernstein et al., 1995) one dimensional chain running along b–axis. The intermolecular hydrogen bond C13—H13···O1 also connects the molecule into another C7 chain running along b–axis. Thus the combination of N—H···O and C—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds form a graph set motif of R22(7) dimer to stabilize the molecules and extend along b–axis (Fig. 2).

Experimental

An ice-cold solution of acetic-formic anhydride was prepared from acetic anhydride (10 ml) and 85% formic acid (5 ml) was added slowly to a cold solution of tetrahydrobenzodiazepin-2-one (0.88 g) in anhydrous benzene (30 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hrs. The organic layer was separated, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated. The resulting mass was purified by crystallization from benzene-petroleum ether (333–353° K) mixture (1:1) (Venkatraj et al., 2008)

Refinement

The H atom bonded to N was freely refined whereas the other H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H=0.93–0.98 Å) and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H and 1.2 Ueq(C) for other H atoms.

Special details

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.
