Abstract

In the title compound, C19H18O5, the ester group is twisted with respect to the acetyl­salicylic acid and eugenol rings at dihedral angles of 22.48 (2) and 81.07 (1)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 60.72 (1)°. The crystal packing exhibits no significantly short inter­molecular contacts.

Comment

Aspirin has been widely used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. As the major constituent of clove oil, eugenol also shows antipyretic activity (Feng & Lipton, 1987) and anti-inflammatory activity (Dohi et al., 1989). In this paper, we report the structure of the title compound, which was synthesized from the reaction of aspirin and eugenol in sodium hydroxide solution.

Experimental

The title compound was obtained according to the literature method (Li et al., 2011). Acetylsalicylic acid (0.025 mol) and thionyl chloride (2.5 ml) were mixed in 10 ml tetrahydrofuran (THF), and refluxed at 343 K for 2 h. The surplus thionyl chloride and THF were removed under reduced pressure. The target O-Acetylsalicylyl chloride was dissolved in 5 ml THF, added dropwise to an iced solution of eugenol (0.025 mol) and sodium hydroxide (0.04 mol) in 40 ml water. After stirring at room temprature for 3 h, the crude product was obtained by filtration. The crystals were obtained by recrystalization from methanol. Elemental analysis: calculated for C19 H18O5: C 69.93%, H 5.56%, O 24.51%; found: C 69.93%, H 5.53%, O 24.54%.

Refinement

The positions of all H atoms were determined geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and Uiso(methyl H) = 1.5Ueq(C) and 1.2Ueq 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.
