The complete mol­ecule of the title compound, C24H30N4O4, is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The mol­ecule is S-shaped and the pyrrole groups have an anti or trans confirmation with respect to the central benzene ring, to which they are inclined by 76.38 (9)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. Within the layers there are C—H⋯π inter­actions present. There are, however, no significant inter­actions between the layers.

Structure description

The preparation of the title secondary amine was based on three synthetic steps. The reaction of 1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde with ethyl bromo­pro­acetate resulted in the formation of eth­yl(2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-1-yl)-acetate (Koriatopoulou et al., 2008[Koriatopoulou, K., Karousis, N. & Varvounis, G. (2008). Tetrahedron, 64, 10009-10013.]; Singh & Pal, 2010[Singh, K. & Pal, D. (2010). J. Serb. Chem. Soc. 75, 917-927.]). The reaction of two moles of the above with p-phenyl­enedi­amine (Yang et al., 2004[Yang, C.-T., Vetrichelvan, M., Yang, X., Moubaraki, B., Murray, K. S. & Vittal, J. J. (2004). Dalton Trans. pp. 113-121.]; Ourari et al., 2013[Ourari, A., Aggoun, D. & Ouahab, L. (2013). Inorg. Chem. Commun. 33, 118-124.]) gave the Schiff base. The reduction of the Schiff base (Higuchi et al., 2003[Higuchi, M., Tsuruta, M., Chiba, H., Shiki, S. & Yamamoto, K. (2003). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125, 9988-9997.]; Nabipour et al., 2010[Nabipour, H., Ghammamy, S., Ashuri, S. & Aghbolagh, Z. S. (2010). Org. Chem. J. 2, 75-80.]) gave the the title secondary amine.

The whole mol­ecule of the title compound, Fig. 1[link], is generated by inversion symmetry. The pyrrole rings have an anti or trans-conformation with respect to the central benzene ring. They are inclined to the central benzene ring by 76.38 (9)°.

A view of the mol­ecular structure of the title compound, with atom labelling. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level. The unlabelled atoms are related to labelled atoms by the symmetry operation − x + 2, − y, − z + 1.

The infrared spectrum shows typical absorption bands of the functional N—H and carbonyl –C=O bonds at 3390 and 1630 cm−1, respectively. The N7—C6 bond distance of 1.448 (2) Å is longer than the N7—C8 bond distance of 1.405 (2) Å, indicating single bond order. However, the N1—C5 bond distance of 1.371 (2) Å, confirms that a resonance occurs in the pyrrole system between the lone-pair electron of the N atom and the pyrrole ring.

In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane (Table 1[link] and Fig. 2[link]). Within the layers there are C—H⋯π inter­actions present. There are no significant inter­actions between the layers (Fig. 3[link]).

Synthesis and crystallization

The title compound was synthesized in three steps.

1: ethyl (2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-1-yl)-acetate was prepared by reported procedures (Koriatopoulou et al., 2008[Koriatopoulou, K., Karousis, N. & Varvounis, G. (2008). Tetrahedron, 64, 10009-10013.]; Singh & Pal, 2010[Singh, K. & Pal, D. (2010). J. Serb. Chem. Soc. 75, 917-927.]). To a mixture of 1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (1.00 g, 10.51 mmol), K2CO3 (2.90 g, 21.02 mmol) and (2.64 g, 10.51 mmol) of 18-crown-6 in dry 1,4-dioxane (20 ml) was added a solution of ethyl bromo­acetate (2.00 g, 12 mmol) in dry 1,4-dioxane (20 ml) drop wise over a period of 30 min. The reaction mixture was allowed to reflux under nitro­gen atmos­phere for 6 h, and then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Water (50 ml) was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 15 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (15 ml), and then dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the oily residue was purified by flash chromatography with an eluent mixture (33% ethyl acetate/hexa­ne), yielding the title compound as a yellow oil (yielded: 0.75 g, 75%). IR (ATR cm−1): 1650 ν(C=O) aldehyde moiety. 1710 ν(C=O) ester group. 1H (500 MHz, CDCl3, p.p.m.): 1.20 (3H, t, C1—H), 4.15 (2H, q, C2—H), 4.97 (2H, s, C4—H), 6.21 (1H, t, C6—H), 6.84 (1H, d, C7—H), 6.90 (1H, d, C5—H) and 9.45 (1H, s, C9—H). 13C (125.75 MHz, CDCl3), 14.13 C1, 50.25 C4, 61.63 C2, 110.20 C6, 124.61 C7, 131.71 C8 and 132.10 C5.

To a mixture of ethyl (2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-1-yl)­acetate (1.81 g, 10 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) with 3 drops of glacial acetic acid, a solution of 1,4-phenyl­enedi­amine (0.5 g, 5 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) was added drop wise over a period of 20 min.

Structure description top

The preparation of the title secondary amine was based on three synthetic steps. The reaction of 1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde with ethyl bromoproacetate resulted in the formation of ethyl(2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-1-yl)-acetate (Koriatopoulou et al., 2008; Singh & Pal, 2010). The reaction of two moles of the above with p-phenylenediamine (Yang et al., 2004; Ourari et al., 2013) gave the Schiff base. The reduction of the Schiff base (Higuchi et al., 2003; Nabipour et al., 2010) gave the the title secondary amine.

The whole molecule of the title compound, Fig. 1, is generated by inversion symmetry. The pyrrole rings have an anti or trans-conformation with respect to the central benzene ring. They are inclined to the central benzene ring by 76.38 (9)°.

The infrared spectrum shows typical absorption bands of the functional N—H and carbonyl –CO bonds at 3390 and 1630 cm−1, respectively. The N7—C6 bond distance of 1.448 (2) Å is longer than the N7—C8 bond distance of 1.405 (2) Å, indicating single bond order. However, the N1—C5 bond distance of 1.371 (2) Å, confirms that a resonance occurs in the pyrrole system between the lone-pair electron of the N atom and the pyrrole ring.

In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane (Table 1 and Fig. 2). Within the layers there are C—H···π interactions present. There are no significant interactions between the layers (Fig. 3).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
