Abstract

The stereochemistry of the title compound, C32H44O10, at the cyclo­butane ring is cis-anti-cis. The mol­ecule lies across an inversion center. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect mol­ecules into chains along [100], forming R 2 2(6) rings.

Comment

We have recently investigated the Ru-catalyzed isomerization and dimerization reaction of oxanorbornadiene compounds (Ballantine et al., 2009). When dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane in the presence of Cp*Ru(COD)Cl, tert-butoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2,2,1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicarboxylate will dimerize into the title compound (I) (see Fig. 1). The desired product was resolved using fractional crystallization in hexanes. The stereochemistry of the product was determined by this single-crystal X-ray analysis and was found to have a cis-anti-cis stereochemistry at the cyclobutane ring of the dimer.

The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 2. In the crystal, weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds connect molecules into one-dimensional chains (Fig. 3) along [100] forming R22(6) rings (Bernstein et al., 1995).

Experimental

tert-Butoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2,2,1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicarboxylate 1 (45 mg, 0.15 mmol) was weighed into an oven-dried vial, purged with nitrogen and transferred into a Dry Box. In the Dry Box, Cp*Ru(COD)Cl (10 mol%) was added to another oven dried vial and dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (0.5 ml). The Ru-catalyst was then transferred into the vial containing the 7-oxanorbornadiene. The vial was sealed with a screw cap and removed from the Dry Box. The reaction was heated at 333 K with stirring for 20 h. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (EtOAc:hexanes = 2:3) followed by recrystallization in hexanes to give the dimer (I). Colourless blocks were grown by slow evaportation of a solution of (I) in hexanes.

Refinement

Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H distances of 0.98 and 1.00 Å. They were included in the refinement in a riding-model approximation with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 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.
