Abstract

In the title salt, C4H14N2 +·2C9H3Cl4O4 , the cation lies on an inversion center. In the anion, the mean planes of meth­oxy­carbonyl and carboxyl­ate groups form dihedral angles of 64.9 (3) and 58.5 (3)°, respectively, with the benzene ring. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the components into sheets parallel to (100).

Comment

In the present work, the reaction of 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-2-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid and butane-1,4-diamine in methanol was expected to yield 4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2-[4-(4,5,6,7- tetrachloro-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)butanyl]isoindoline-1,3-dione. However, the product was the title compound and this may have occurred because of the reduced time and temperature of the reaction. The asymmetric unit of the title compound (I) contains one half of a butane-1,4-diaminium cation and one 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-2-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoate anions (Fig. 1). In the anion, the mean planes of the methoxycarbonyl and carboxyl groups are aligned at dihedral angles of 64.9 (3) and 58.5 (3) °, respectively with the benzene ring. The bond lengths and angles are in agreement with those which are related in hexane-1,6-diaminium bis[3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-2-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoate](Li, 2011). In the crystal, intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds connect the components into two-dimensional sheets parallel to (100) (Fig. 2 and Table 1).

Experimental

A mixture of 4,5,6,7-tetrachloroisobenzofuran-1,3-dione (2.86 g, 0.01 mol) and methanol (15 ml) was refluxed for 0.5 h. Then butane-1,4-diamine (0.44 g, 0.005 mol) was added to the above solution and mixed for 20 min at room temperature. The solution was kept at room temperature for 5 d. Natural evaporation gave colourless single crystals of the title compound, suitable for X-ray analysis.

Refinement

H atoms were initially located from difference maps and then refined in a riding-model approximation with C—H = 0.96–0.97 Å and N—H = 0.89 Å Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(N, methyl C).

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.
