Abstract

Saturated fused systems such as imidazolidin[1,5-a]- and thiazolidin[3,4-a]perhydroquinoxalin-4-one as well as imidazolidin[1,5-a]piperazin-4-one derivatives were prepared by cyclocondensation reactions of appropriate perhydroquinoxalin-3-one and piperazin-3-one derivatives with diiodomethane and thiophosgene. An unusual ring contraction of perhydroquinoxalin-3-one derivatives to perhydrobenzimidazolidin-2-one derivatives by reaction with 1,2-dibromoethane was proved using crystal structure analysis with synchrotron and laboratory radiation sources.

Compound 8 with formula C18H23N3OS crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with unit cell parameters a = 1086.70(2), b = 722.07(1), c = 2201.27 (3) pm, β = 91.748(1)º, V = 1.72647(5) × 109 pm3, Z = 4. A total of 14964 reflections were collected and merged to give 3957 independent reflections (R(int) = 0.0274) on a single-crystal sample (size 0.35 × 0.2 × 0.15 mm) using a KappaCCD diffractometer and MoKα radiation. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by the full-matrix least squares method on F2 using the SHELX97 program system. All hydrogen atoms were located on a difference Fourier map of electron density. Final R indices for I>2σ(I) were equal to R1 = 0.0441, wR2 = 0.1105, and R1 = 0.0604, w R2 = 0.1210 for all data. The final difference Fourier map of electron density was featureless with the largest peak and hole at 2.38 × 10-7 and -3.29 × 10-7 e.pm-3, respectively. The structural data have been deposited at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre under the reference number CCDC 239169.
