Crystal structure of (E)-2-(tert-butyl­amino)-4-(tert-butyl­imino)­naphthalen-1(4H)-one

The title compound is the first example of a naphtho­quinone imine derivative crystallizing in the 4-imine/2-amine tautomeric form having bulky tert-butyl substituents at the N atoms.

Abstract

The title compound, C₁₈H₂₄N₂O, is the first example of a naphtho­quinone imine derivative isolated in the 4-imine/2-amine tautomeric form having bulky alkyl substituents at the N atoms. The mol­ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra­molecular hydrogen bond between the amine and a carbonyl group and by London attraction between the two tert-butyl groups. Only van der Waals inter­actions were identified in the crystal packing.

Chemical context  

Naphtho­quinones (naphthalene­diones) form an important part of some pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry (López et al., 2015 ▸). During an exploration of anti­malarial drugs, Fieser (Fieser & Fieser, 1935 ▸) indicated that amino­iminona­phtho­quinones, although difficult to form, had inter­esting medicinal properties. Bullock et al. (1969 ▸) provided more efficient ways to synthesize a series of these compounds and further investigated their properties as anti­protozoal agents (Bullock et al., 1970 ▸).

Naturally occurring compounds with a similar structure to these amino­iminona­phtho­quinones are known as hydrolytically stable pigments. Recently, several natural products containing a rigid amino­imino­quinone structure have been isolated and identified: macrophilone A (Zlotkowski et al., 2017 ▸), makaluvamines (Radisky et al., 1993 ▸), isobatzelline (Stierle & Faulkner, 1991 ▸), prianosin (Cheng et al., 1988 ▸), epinardin (D’Ambrosio et al., 1996 ▸), and discorhabdin (Harayama & Kita, 2005 ▸) families. These alkaloid secondary metabolites from marine organisms were found to possess cytotoxic anti­tumor properties. It has been reported that the amino­imino­quinone system may contribute to the cytotoxic activity (LaBarbera & Skibo, 2013 ▸).

Although the 4-imine/2-amine structure was thought to be the most stable, there is evidence for multiple equilibria of these compounds in solution (see reaction scheme). For example, in the case of the methyl derivative (R = Me), NMR evidence at room temperature shows a mixture of tautomers (Bullock et al., 1969 ▸). This equilibrium, and in particular the possibility of tautomers, is important since the biological activity of these compounds depends on which tautomer is more stable (Hatfield et al., 2017 ▸).

As part of our work on the synthesis and properties of naphtho­quinones (Lamoureux et al., 2008 ▸), we isolated the title compound as a minor product and predicted that the 4-imine/2-amine tautomeric form would not form because of the presence of bulky R groups. Much to our surprise, (E)-2-(tert-butyl­amino)-4-(tert-butyl­imino)­naphthalen-1(4H)-one is the first compound isolated and structurally characterized of this type with a tertiary alkyl group.

Structural commentary  

In the mol­ecule of the title compound (Fig. 1 ▸), the imine C=N bond length at the 4-position [C8—N19 = 1.291 (3) Å] is shorter than the enamine C—N bond length at the 2-position [C10—N20 = 1.353 (3) Å], reflecting the greater double-bond character. The distance between the enamine N-atom and the t-butyl C-atom [N20—C11 = 1.476 (3) Å] is slightly shorter than the corresponding bond involving the imino group [N19—C15 = 1.485 (3) Å], possibly as a result of steric compression at the imine. However, the bond angles around the two nitro­gen atoms [C8—N19—C15 = 124.1 (2)°; C10—N20—C11 = 129.2 (2)°] are similar because of the delocalization of π electrons between the two nitro­gen atoms. This system can be considered to be a type of vinyl­ogous amidine (Shriner & Neumann, 1944 ▸), both nitro­gen atoms having a trigonal–planar geometry. The fused imino­quinone ring adopts a flattened envelope conformation, with the flap atom C8 displaced by 0.112 (2) Å from the mean plane through C1/C2/C7/C9/C10, and with the C7—C8—C9 angle of 116.9 (2)° showing the largest deviation from the ideal value of 120°.

The title compound possesses an intra­molecular hydrogen bond between the imine N—H and carbonyl groups (Table 1 ▸), forming a ring with S(5) graph-set motif. The distance between the donor H atom and the acceptor carbonyl oxygen atom of 2.20 Å is shorter than expected as a result of the bulkiness of the tert-butyl group (vide infra). These tert-butyl groups also shield the nitro­gen atoms and provide a hydro­phobic environment on the side of the naphthalen-1-one ring system. The shortest C⋯C separations between carbon atoms of the tert-butyl groups are in the range 4.228 (4)–4.825 (4) Å, bringing them within distance of London attraction (Wagner & Schreiner, 2015 ▸).

Supra­molecular features  

In the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 2 ▸), the tert-butyl groups are oriented toward the centre of the unit cell. There are no inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, as seen in a similar structure with n-butyl groups (see below); the tert-butyl groups are shielding the nitro­gen atoms and preventing close approach of the supra­molecular donors and acceptors. There are no π–π stacking inter­actions present, the aromatic rings being separated by more than 6 Å.

Database survey  

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.39, update February 2018; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) for the substructure 2-(alkyl­amino)-4-(alkyl­imino)­naphthalen-1(4H)-one yielded three hits. Two of the structures, ESOFID (Schweinfurth et al., 2016 ▸) and UDAZEF (Singh et al., 2007 ▸) have aromatic amines (aniline or substituted aniline) as the amine moiety. Only one structure, UDAZIJ (Singh et al., 2007 ▸), has an aliphatic primary amine (n-butyl­amine) at positions 2 and 4. The structure of UDAZIJ is noteworthy because the intra­molecular N—H⋯O separation of 2.34 Å is much longer than that observed in the title compound, and because in the crystal lattice a dimeric assembly forms, held together by pairs of inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the N—H and carbonyl groups of centrosymmetrically -related mol­ecules.

Synthesis and crystallization  

The synthesis of the title compound was based on a new procedure (complete publication in progress). 192 mg (1.00 mmol) of 4-chloro­naphthalene-1,2-dione and 211 µL (2.00 mmol, 2 equiv.) of tert-butyl­amine were dissolved in tert-amyl alcohol (3.0 mL). This solution was stirred at 383 K under a nitro­gen atmosphere for 2 h. After being allowed to cool to room temperature, the green–brownish solution (originally yellow) was diluted with saline water (30 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 20 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude brown-dark solid material (249 mg) was separated by silica gel column chromatography using ethyl acetate as eluent to obtain the title compound as secondary product in the form of a dark-brown oily solid (119 mg). The compound was further purified by column chromatography over silica gel with gradient solvent elution [100% di­chloro­methane (CH₂Cl₂) and then 100% methyl tert-butyl ether (C₅H₁₂O)], and the fractions were dried under vacuum to yield 14 mg of the pure product (5% yield) as a yellow oily solid. Part of the purified product was redissolved in methanol with a few drops of water and placed at room temperature for slow evaporation. After several days, yellow crystal plates suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained.

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. All hydrogen atoms are placed in calculated positions with N—H = 0.88 Å, C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å, and with U _iso(H) = 1.2U _eq(C, N) or 1.5U _eq(C) for methyl H atoms. A rotating model was used for the methyl groups.

Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
