Scheme 2. The mechanism of ring contraction.
EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
structure of compound 4c was also confirmed by X-ray
diffraction analysis, as shown in Figure 1. Detailed informa-
tion about the crystal data and structure determination was
summarized in Table 1. Selected interatomic distances and
bond angles were tabulated in Table 2. Intermolecular
interactions (Å) were listed in Table 3.
Although the compound 4c had an abundance of
conventional hydrogen-bond acceptors, it was a complete
lack of donors. Thus, the packing features C—H group
acted as donor in weak hydrogen-bond; however, the
crystal was stabilized by weak offset face-to-face pꢁꢁꢁp
interactions between cyclical 1 and cyclical 2, which was
shown in Table 3, Figure 2. Other weak forces such as
hydrophobic and dipole–dipole interactions also contributed
to stabilization, but documenting them had proved to be
more challenging than the study of H-bonding [16], the
associated centroid–centroid distance between the benzene
ring of Cg3│Cg3 was 3.6503 Å.
Suitable single crystals of the complex of dimension
0.67 ꢂ 0.52 ꢂ 0.28 mm3, single-crystal diffraction data for
4c were collected on a Bruker Smart Apex Duo diffrac-
tometer (Germany Bruker Company’s Single Crystal Diffrac-
tion) at 296(2) K with Mo–Ka radiation (k = 0.71073 Å).
Semiempirical absorption corrections were applied using
SADABS program. All the structures were solved by direct
methods using the SHELXS program of the SHELXTL pack-
age and refined by full-matrix least-squares methods on F2
with SHELXL 97 [17]. Molecular structure was checked
using PLATON [18]. 1,5-Benzothiazepine ring that was
characterized by the endocyclic torsion angles adopts a boat-
like conformation, The four atoms of C(17), C(25), N(1),
and S(1) were closely coplanar; C(1), C(6), and C(30) were
above the plane, with their deviations being ꢀ1.2236,
ꢀ1.1852, and ꢀ0.6417 Å, respectively. The five-membered
ring plane adopted an envelope conformation with atom C
(17) deviating from the plane defined by C(8) N(1), N(2),
and O(1) of 0.4993 Å. Cg(2) [center of gravity of the
benzene ring (C1–C6)] was almost perpendicular with Cg(3)
that dihedral angle was 91.0ꢃ, dihedral angle between oxadia-
zole ring Cg(1) and Cg(4) [center of gravity of the benzene
ring (C18–C23)] was 91.0ꢃ, whereas with Cg(3) was 28.7ꢃ.
All reagents were of commercial availability. Reactions were
monitored by TLC. Melting points were measured on a mettler
FP-5 capillary melting point apparatus and were uncorrected.
Elemental analyses were conducted on a Perkin-Elmer 2400
elemental analyzer. The IR spectra were determined as potassium
bromide pellet on a Bruker Equinox 55 FTIR spectrophotometer.
Mass spectra were recorded on an Agilent 5975 apparatus
(EI, 70 eV). X-ray crystal structure was obtained using R-AXIS
SPIDER X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1a–c [19,20] and
benzenecarboximidoyl chloride [21] were synthesized according
to the reported literatures.
General procedure for the synthesis of compounds 2a–c.
A mixture of bischalcone (1) (5 mmol) and o-aminothiophenol
(12 mmol) in anhydrous ethanol (50 mL) was heated under
reflux for 8 h in the presence of acetic acid (1.0 mL). The
mixture was cooled to RT, and then the solid product was
separated by filtration and recrystallized from DMF/H2O to give
corresponding compounds 2a–c.
