Abstract

The title compound, C21H17BrN2O4, a 2-phen­oxy-2-phenyl­acetamide derivative, exhibits a stereogenic center but crystallizes as a racemate as indicated by the centrosymmetric space group. In the mol­ecular structure, the nitro-substituted benzene ring is coplanar [dihedral angle = 12.9 (1)°] with the plane formed by H—N—C(=O)—C=O due to intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter­actions.

Comment

The title compound, C21H17BrN2O4, is a 2-phenoxy-2-phenyl-acetamide derivative, which have been reported to deliver various biological activities such as acting as inhibitors of the coagulation factors Xa and IXa and are therefore used for the therapy of thromboembolic disorder and as safe and effective anticoagulants for myocardial infarction and ischemic disease (Dorsch, et al.; 2002, Wang et al., 2010). They are also active as glucokinase activators rendering their use for the treatment of type I and type II diabetes (Lau, et al.; 2003).

The title compound has recently been obtained during the Lewis base-catalyzed phenol-Passerini three-component reaction (phenol-P-3CR) from nitrophenols, aryl aldehydes and alkyl isocyanides (Dai & Li; 2007). We report here its crystal structure. In the molecular structure (Fig. 1), there is one benzyl group linked to the amide nitrogen atom. In addition, one 2-bromobenzene and a 2-nitrophenoxy substituents are attached to the α-carbon. The nitro-substituted benzene moiety is coplanar with the plane formed by atoms H22-N22-C8-C9-O2 due to intramolecular hydrogen bond interactions between N22-H22···O2 and N22-H22···O25.

Experimental

To a solution of 2-nitrophenol (28 mg, 0.20 mmol) in anhydrous MeCN (0.2 mL, 1.0 M) in a 2-mL tube were added 2-bromobenzaldehyde (48.0 mg, 0.26 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.004 mL, 0.02 mmol, 10 mol%), and benzyl isocyanide (0.037 mL, 0.30 mmol, 1.5 equiv). The resulting mixture was stirred at 352 K under a nitrogen atmosphere for 72 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was then puried by flash column chromatography (silica gel, eluted with 20% EtOAc in light petroleum ether) to afford the title compound as a yellow solid (84.0 mg, 95%). mp 418-419 K (EtOAc-hexane). Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction of the title compound were grown in the mixed solvent of EtOAc and hexane (v:v = 1:3) at 283 K.

Refinement

The H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93-0.98 Å, and included in the refinement in riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (carrier atom).

Special details

Experimental. (CrysAlis Pro; Oxford Diffraction, 2009) Version 1.171.33.53 (release 17-11-2009 CrysAlis171 .NET) (compiled Nov 17 2009,16:58:22) Empirical absorption correction using spherical harmonics, implemented in SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm.
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.
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.
