in a ratio of 70 : 30. The dihydropyridine ring has
a distorted halfꢀchair conformation in both independent
molecules. The C(10)C(4)C(17)C(22) and C(10A)C(4A)ꢀ
C(17A)C(22A) torsion angles characterizing the orientation
of the phenyl rings C(17)—C(22) and C(17A)—C(22A)
are 46.5(3) and 69.4(3)° in the molecules A and B,
respectively. The pentafluorophenyl substituent is in
the axial position. The N(1)C(2)C(11)C(12) and
N(1A)C(2A)C(11A)C(12A) torsion angles are 0.0(3) and
7.4(3)°, respectively. The independent molecules A and B form
dimeric pairs via two hydrogen bonds, O(2A)—H...O(1)
and O(2)—H...O(1A), with the H...O distances of 1.81(3)
and 1.77(3) Е and the O—H...O angles of 164(3) and
169(3)°, respectively. It should be noted that there are
shortened O(1A)...C(11) and O(1A)...C(16) distances in
these dimers (2.977(3) and 3.075(3) Å, respectively; the
sum of the van der Waals radii11 is 3.35 Å). These dimeric
pairs form shortened pairwise F(3)...F(1A) contacts with
the adjacent dimeric pair (2.745(2) Å; the sum of the
van der Waals radii is 2.92 Å). In the crystal structure,
the dimeric pairs form (1,1,0) layers (2D architecture), in
which the pairwise C(6A)—H(6A)...π(C(17A)—C(22A))
interaction12 (the distance to the plane Dpln = 2.91 Å and the
angle θ = 27.9°) and the C(21A)—H(21A)...π(C(11)—C(16))
interaction (Dpln = 2.86 Å and θ =35.3°) are observed.
To summarize, the reactions of αꢀpentafluorophenylꢀ
substituted pyrylium salts with hydroxylamine in aqueous
ethanolic media afford the corresponding pentafluoroꢀ
phenacylisoxazolines and pyridine Nꢀoxides or their mixꢀ
tures, which is, on the whole, consistent with the reaction
pathway of nonfluorinated pyrylium salts. Pyrylium salts
containing the bulky Ph or C6F5 group in the second
α position of the pyrylium ring give exclusively isoxazoline
derivatives. The fluorineꢀcontaining derivatives have a
higher reactivity, which is manifested in lower stability of
intermediate oximes. A new stable product, 2ꢀhydroxyꢀ
tetrahydropyridine Nꢀoxide 5, was isolated in the reaction
of tetrahydrobenzopyrylium salt 1d with NH2OH. This
product undergoes dehydration under heating.

The structures of the intermediates, 1,3ꢀdiphenylꢀ
5ꢀpentafluorophenylpentꢀ2ꢀeneꢀ1,5ꢀdione 1ꢀoxime (3b)
and 1ꢀmethylꢀ5ꢀpentafluorophenylꢀ3ꢀphenylpentꢀ2ꢀeneꢀ
1,5ꢀdione 1ꢀoxime (3c), were determined by comparing
the chemical shifts of the corresponding signals in the
1H NMR spectra of the reaction mixtures with the specꢀ
troscopic data for 1,3,5ꢀtriphenylpentꢀ2ꢀeneꢀ1,5ꢀdione
1ꢀoxime published in the literature.9 The spectrum of comꢀ
pound 3c in CDCl3 shows, in addition to the signals of
the Ph group, a singlet of the CH3 group at δ 2.30, a
broadened singlet for two methylene protons H(4) at
δ 3.68, and a singlet for the methine proton H(2) at δ 6.42.
The 19F NMR spectrum of compound 3c has signals of
the pentafluorophenyl group at δ 1.19, 9.43, and 23.24
1
with an intensity ratio of 2 : 1 : 2. The similar H NMR
spectrum is observed for oxime 3b in CD3CN. This specꢀ
trum shows signals for the proton H(4) at δ 3.97, the
proton H(2) at δ 6.71, and the proton of the oxime group
at δ 9.28 as well as signals for the aromatic protons.
The 19F NMR spectrum of compound 5 has signals
belonging to one C6F5 group; the 1H NMR spectrum,
multiplets for the protons of the fused cyclohexane ring at
δ 1.54, 1.79, 2.41, and 2.83, a broadened singlet at δ 3.45
assigned to two protons at the C(3) atom, and signals for
five aromatic protons. The IR spectrum of compound 5 in
CCl4 shows absorption bands at 2500—3400 (O—H), 1651
(C=N), 1490, 1524 (C—F), and 1223 cm–1 (N→O). The
threeꢀdimensional molecular structure of compound 5
was established by Xꢀray diffraction. There are two indeꢀ
pendent molecules per asymmetric unit. The geometry of
one molecule is presented in Fig. 2. The bond lengths in
the independent molecules are equal within experimental
error. The C(6) atom in the first molecule (A) and the
C(6A) atom in the second molecule (B) are disordered in
a ratio of 70 : 30 and, consequently, the cyclohexane fragꢀ
ment adopts distorted halfꢀchair and sofa conformations
Experimental
The NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker ACꢀ200
(200.13 MHz for 1H and 188.2 MHz for 19F) and Bruker DRXꢀ500
(500.13 MHz for 1H) spectrometers in CDCl3 and CD3CN with
the use of the signals for the residual protons of CDCl3 (7.24 ppm)
and CD3CN (1.96 ppm) for 1H NMR spectra and C6F6 for
19F NMR spectra as the internal standard. The chemical shifts
are given on the δ scale. The IR spectra were measured on a
Vector 22 instrument. The highꢀresolution mass spectra were
recorded on a Finnigan MAT 8200 instrument using a direct
inlet probe; the ionization chamber temperature was 314 °C,
and the ionizing electron energy was 70 eV. The quantum chemiꢀ
cal calculations were carried out with the use of the Hyperchem
program package (Hypercube, Inc.).
