Non-coplanar aromatic carboxylic acids: Unusual conformation-dependent self-assembly and pseudopolymorphism of di(3-carboxymesityl)methane
摘要:
The dicarboxylic acids 3 and 4, i.e., di(3-carboxy-2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)methane and di(3-carboxyphenyl)methane, are created by a methylene tethering of mesitoic acid and benzoic acid, respectively. These diacids may explore two low energy conformations. viz., syn and anti. Whereas the syn-diacid 3 is found to undergo self-assembly in the solid state via it very rare tetrameric motif, the anti-diacid 3 is found to exhibit pseudopolymorphism with guest molecules such as DMSO and PhOH-H2O. The unusual patterns of assembly and the occurrence of pseudopolymorphism for the syn and anti conformers, respectively, appear to emanate from all unique structural feature that emerges as a consequence of tethering. It appears that the molecules that contain strongly interacting functional groups in non-coplanar aryl rings will stiffer from packing problems, which manifests itself ill a new mode of packing and the phenomenon of pseudopolymorphism.

A facile, efficient and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of diarylmethanes via the reaction of arenes with trioxane catalyzed by InCl3 center dot 4H(2)O was developed. The reactions of aromatic compounds bearing electron-donating group proceeded smoothly affording the corresponding diarylmethanes in good to excellent yields. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
