New indications for the potential involvement of C–F-bonds in hydrogen bonding
摘要:
Solid state structures of a selection of 2-fluoro-2-phenylcyclopropane derivatives were examined by X-ray crystallography in order to identify short intermolecular contacts of C-F groups to H-X moieties (X = C, N). Particularly, several cis-configured fluorinated phenylcyclopropane derivatives showed extremely close intermolecular contacts. The shortest of such C-(HF)-F-...-C-distances (2.17 angstrom, C-F-H angle 162 degrees) was found in (IS,2R)-(2-fluoro-2-phenylcyclopropyl)methyl N-(4-bromophenyl)carbamate (8) and the closest N-(HF)-F-...-C-interaction (2.01 angstrom, C-F-H angle 167 degrees) was found in (+/-)-cis-2-fluoro-2-phenylcyclopropyl carboxamide (4). Comparison of the structures of several of the fluorinated cyclopropares with those of the non-fluorinated counterparts revealed that close intermolecular contacts of fluorine substituents to hydrogen atoms are not solely due to crystal packing effects, but are also caused by weak X-H... F-C hydrogen bridges. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
