Abstract

In the mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C20H17NO5, two intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond generate six- and seven-membered ring motifs. The dihedral angles between the almost planar 13-atom triple-fused-ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å) and the planes of the two meth­oxy­carbonyl substituents are 61.7 (2) and 33.01 (10)°.

Comment

The indolizine and hydrogenated indolizine structures are found in many alkaloids such as amorine, crythraline, swainsonine, cryptaustoline, cryptowoline (Sriram et al. 2005), camptothesin(Michael, 2004), nuevamine (Alonso et al., 1985), etc. These natural and many synthetic indolizine derivatives have been found to have a variety of biological activity (Shen et al., 2010).

We report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound (I). The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig.1. In the title compound, intramolecular C13 —H13A···O1 and C20—H20A···O4 hydrogen bond generates extra two ring motifs. The dihedral angle between the indolizine ring system and the C20—H20A···O4 plane is 20.40 (4)°.

Experimental

A mixture of the 2-(2-cyclopropyl-2-oxoethyl)isoquinolinium bromide (10 mmol), acrylonitrile (40 mmol), triethylamine (2 ml) and TPCD (4 g) in DMF (40 ml) was heated at 90° C for 5 h. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (5%, 100 ml), the precipitated crude product was collected by filtration and further purified by silica gel column chromatography with petroleum ether (bp 60–90 °C)-ethyl acetate as eluents. Yellow crystal. m.p. 388–389 K, Yield 76%. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were prepared by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in petroleum ether -ethyl acetate(4:1), at room temperature.

Refinement

The H atoms were fixed geometrically and were treated as riding on their parent C atoms, with C—H distances in the range of 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom), or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).

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.
