Abstract:
Structures are reported for two matched sets of substituted 4-styrylquinolines which were prepared by the formation of the heterocyclic ring in cyclocondensation reactions between 1-(2-aminophenyl)-3-arylprop-2-en-1-ones with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. (E)-3-Acetyl-4-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-2-methylquinoline, C21H19NO2, (I), (E)-3-acetyl-4-[2-(4-bromophenyl)ethenyl]-2-methylquinoline, C20H16BrNO, (II), and (E)-3-acetyl-2-methyl-4-{2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethenyl}quinoline, C21H16F3NO, (III), are isomorphous and in each structure the molecules are linked by a single C-H...O hydrogen bond to form C(6) chains. In (I), but not in (II) or (III), this is augmented by a C-H...π(arene) hydrogen bond to form a chain of rings; hence, (I)-(III) are not strictly isostructural. By contrast with (I)-(III), no two of ethyl (E)-4-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-2-methylquinoline-3-carboxylate, C22H21NO3, (IV), ethyl (E)-4-[2-(4-bromophenyl)ethenyl]-2-methylquinoline-3-carboxylate, C21H18BrNO2, (V), and ethyl (E)-2-methyl-4-{2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethenyl}quinoline-3-carboxylate, C22H18F3NO2, (VI), are isomorphous. The molecules of (IV) are linked by a single C-H...O hydrogen bond to form C(13) chains, but cyclic centrosymmetric dimers are formed in both (V) and (VI). The dimer in (V) contains a C-H...π(pyridyl) hydrogen bond, while that in (VI) contains two independent C-H...O hydrogen bonds. Comparisons are made with some related structures, and both the regiochemistry and the mechanism of the heterocyclic ring formation are discussed.
