Diels Alder Reaction

During a SCSC solid-state Diels–Alder reaction, voids are created, followed by conformational change and crystal annealing that lead to the formation of new weak interactions.

Solid-state Diels–Alder reaction in a 2 : 1 donor to acceptor charge-transfer complex leads to a synthetic co-crystal composed of product and unreacted donor. Analysis of close contacts and DFT energy calculations indicate that the reaction occurs cooperatively where the arrangement of molecules shown in (ii) is favoured.

Diels Alder Reaction

Solid-state chemistry involves the manipulation of molecules and materials through photochemical, thermal, or mechanical reaction methods. Single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) reactions are rare, but offer the opportunity to study reaction mechanisms and molecular motions in the solid state at the atomic level using single crystal X-ray diffraction. This allows the effect of the surrounding molecules, and hence the reaction cavity, on the reacting molecules to be examined which may ultimately lead to postcrystallization methods for creating new materials or reaction products that cannot easily be obtained via solution. SCSC reactions involving two different molecules are relatively uncommon. A convenient system that allows the study of such reactions is the [4+2] Diels-Alder reaction of 1,4-dithiintetracarboxylic type compounds with anthracene derivatives. In the work reported here, electron donor to acceptor interactions between 9-Methylanthracene and bis(N-cyclobutylimino)-1,4-dithiin lead to the formation of chiral charge transfer (CT) crystals [1]. These undergo a topochemical thermal SCSC [4 + 2] Diels-Alder reaction in the solid state. CT crystals were reacted at 400C, their structures determined by X-ray diffraction at various degrees of conversion, and examined using Hirshfeld surfaces and lattice energy calculations to find evidence of reaction cooperativity and feedback mechanisms. In this case, a maximum reaction conversion of around 96% was obtained indicating that the reaction is non-random within the charge transfer stacks, with close contacts between product molecules in the reacted crystal also providing some evidence for reaction cooperativity along the b axis perpendicular to the CT stacking axis.

Spatial Demand

The molecular structures of ethyl di-9-anthrylglycolate (1) and methyl di-9-anthrylglycolate (2), as well as those of three isomerization products of (2), have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In both (1) and (2), the anthracenemoieties are characterized by marked deviations from planarity. The stereospecific course of the thermal and photochemical isomerization of (2) by Diels -Alder reaction is suggested to be governed by the spatial demand of the alkoxycarbonyl group. Base-catalysed isomerization of (2) by migration of 9-anthryl from carbon to oxygen is associated with steric relief.
