The title compound shows two packing polymorphs, in which the mol­ecular structures are planar and essentially similar. One crystal shows inter­molecular C—H⋯O and π–π inter­actions, while the other crystal exhibits several modes of inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions.

Abstract

The title compound, C11H13NO6, shows two polymorphs, orange and yellow forms, both of which crystallize in the space group P21/c. The mol­ecular structures in the two polymorphs are essentially similar and adopt a planar structure, the maximum deviations for the non-H atoms being 0.1836 (13) and 0.1276 (13) Å, respectively, for the orange and yellow forms. In the orange crystal, mol­ecules are linked by an inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­action into a helical chain along the b-axis direction. The chains are stacked along the c axis through a π–π inter­action [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6087 (11) Å], forming a layer parallel to the bc plane. In the yellow crystal, mol­ecules are connected through C—H⋯O inter­actions into a sheet structure parallel to (-302). No significant π–π inter­action is observed. The unit-cell volume of the orange crystal is larger than that of the yellow one, and this accounts for the predominant growth of the yellow crystal.

Chemical context  

Polymorphism is of inter­est in crystallization, phase transition, material synthesis and the pharmaceutical industry because differences in the crystal packing and/or conformation of compounds with the same formula can change the chemical and physical properties, including solubility, bioavailability and so forth (Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001; Matsuo & Matsuoka, 2007; Yu, 2010). We have been investigating silane coupling agents and thiols with distal functional groups protected by photolabile 2-nitro­benzyl groups (Edagawa et al., 2012). During the course of photoremoval studies of these materials, we found that the simple ester, 4,5-dimeth­oxy-2-nitro­benzyl acetate, which releases acetic acid on photo-irradiation, forms two different types of crystals, orange rods and yellow needles. Here, we report the crystal structures of these two polymorphs of the title compound.graphic file with name e-71-00483-scheme1.jpg

Structural commentary  

The mol­ecular structures of the two crystals are approximately planar and almost identical, as shown in Fig. 1. The C2—C1—C7—O3, C9—C8—O3—C7, C5—C4—O5—C10 and C4—C5—O6—C11 torsion angles in the two crystals are approximately 180°. The dihedral angles between the benzene ring (C1–C6) and the nitro group (O1/N1/O2) are 9.54 (11) and 4.15 (7)° for the orange and yellow polymorphs, respectively.

Supra­molecular features  

Although the two crystals crystallize in the same space group (P21/c) with Z′ = 1, their packing modes are different. In the orange crystal, the mol­ecules are connected by an inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­action [C11—H11B⋯O4i; symmetry code: (i) 1 − x, −Inline graphic + y, Inline graphic − z; Table 1] between the meth­oxy group and the carbonyl group, forming a helical chain along the b axis as shown in Fig. 2, left. In addition, a π–π inter­action between the benzene rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.6087 (11) Å links the chains to be stacked along the c axis. In the yellow crystal, the mol­ecules located in the plane perpendicular to the ac plane are connected by C—H⋯O inter­actions (Table 2) between meth­oxy groups [C10—H10B⋯O6ii; symmetry code: (ii) 1 − x, 1 − y, 2 − z] and between acetyl groups [C9—H9B⋯O4iii; symmetry code: (iii) −x, −Inline graphic + y, Inline graphic − z], forming a sheet structure parallel to (Inline graphic02) (Fig. 2, right).

In the orange crystal, the mol­ecules are stacked in columnar structures via π–π inter­actions along the c axis (Fig. 3, left). In contrast, no π–π inter­actions are observed in the yellow crystal. The mol­ecules are therefore terraced along the diagonal line of the a and c axes as shown in Fig. 3, right. As a result of these packing differences, the volume of the unit cell of the orange crystal is larger than that of the yellow one, i.e., the orange crystal contains slightly more void space than the yellow one. This would account for the predominant growth of the yellow crystals.

Synthesis and crystallization  

4,5-Dimeth­oxy-2-nitro­benzyl alcohol (0.714 g, 3.35 mmol), acetic anhydride (0.63 ml, 6.66 mmol), Et3N (1 ml) and CH2Cl2 (20 ml) were placed in a 100 mL flask, and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (20 ml × 3), washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated to give a yellow solid (0.773 g, 90% yield). The solid was crystallized by slow evaporation from a mixed solution of ethyl acetate and hexane (1:1). Orange crystals were occasionally obtained in small amounts, but the yellow crystals grew predominantly.

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3. All H atoms were located geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.99 Å and U iso(H) = 1.2U eq(C) for methyl­ene H atoms, C—H = 0.95 Å and U iso(H) = 1.2U eq(C) for aromatic H atoms, and C—H = 0.98 Å and U iso(H) = 1.5U eq(C) for methyl H atoms.

(orange) 4,5-Dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl acetate. 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.

(yellow) 4,5-Dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl Acetate. Special details

Experimental. Rigaku (1998). REQAB. Rigaku Corporation, Tokyo, Japan.
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.
