An unusual rearrangement of spiro cage dione to a tris­homocubane derivatives is reported by acid-catalysed rearrangement with the aid of BF3·OEt2 in benzene (solvent) reflux conditions. Here, the mol­ecular structure of cage mol­ecule C19H22O2 (major product) consists of five-membered rings, which adopt an envelope conformation and six-membered rings adopt a chair or boat conformation. The Cremer & Pople puckering parameters of all four six-membered rings are calculated.

Structure description

D3-Trishomocubane and its derivatives are of inter­est for their use as targets for pharmaceutical applications (Liu et al., 2001[Liu, X., Nuwayhid, S., Christie, M. J., Kassiou, M. & Werling, L. L. (2001). Eur. J. Pharmacol. 422, 39-45.]), in medicinal chemistry (Oliver et al., 1991[Oliver, D. W., Dekker, T. G., Snyckers, F. O. & Fourie, T. G. (1991). J. Med. Chem. 34, 851-854.]) as well as in asymmetric catalysis (Levandovsky et al., 2010[Levandovsky, I. A., Sharapa, D. I., Cherenkova, O. A., Gaidai, A. V. & Shubina, T. E. (2010). Russ. Chem. Rev. 79, 1005-1026.]; Sharapa et al., 2012[Sharapa, D. I., Levandovskiy, I. A. & Shubina, T. E. (2012). Curr. Org. Chem. 16, 2632-2660.]). Several amino functionalized D3-tris­homocubane derivatives show significant biological activity and are NMDA receptor antagonists. In addition, some of them exhibit potent anti-TB activity, act as P2X7 receptor antagonists and exhibit anti-Parkinson's activity (Geldenhuys et al., 2005[Geldenhuys, W. J., Malan, S. F., Bloomquist, J. R., Marchand, A. P. & Van der Schyf, C. J. (2005). Med. Res. Rev. 25, 21-48.]).

As part of our major program on cage mol­ecules, which involves the design of unusual polycyclic cage frameworks, for example, D3-tris­homocubanes by the rearrangement approach (Kotha et al., 2018[Kotha, S., Cheekatla, S. R. & Gunta, R. (2018). IUCrData, 3, x180090.]) and we present herein the synthesis of the title cage compound II (Fig. 1[link]), which was prepared (Fig. 2[link]) from cheap and commercially available starting materials such as 1,4-hydro­quinone in eight steps via Claisen rearrangement, Diels–Alder reaction and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) followed by acid-promoted rearrangement with Lewis acid (Kotha & Dipak, 2006[Kotha, S. & Dipak, M. K. (2006). Chem. Eur. J. 12, 4446-4450.]).

The mol­ecular structure of II is made up of fused five- and six-membered rings that are joined into a compact cage system. All five-membered rings adopt an envelope conformation, whereas the six-membered rings are in chair or boat conformations. The Cremer & Pople puckering parameters of three six-membered rings, namely, C2–C7, C2/C3/C9/C10/C6/C7 and C3–C6/C10/C9 are Q = 1.110 (2) Å, θ = 89.25 (10)° and φ = 15.37 (12)°; Q = 1.112 (2) Å, θ = 89.98 (10)° and φ = 285.71 (12)°; and Q = 1.114 (2) Å, θ = 90.57 (10)° and φ = 44.48 (12)° respectively. These six-membered rings all exhibit a boat conformation. The other six-membered ring C4/C5/C12–C15 is in a chair conformation with puckering parameters Q = 0.530 (3) Å. θ = 7.1 (3)° and φ = 216 (2)°.

Synthesis and crystallization

Compound II can be prepared via Lewis acid-promoted rearrangement (Fig. 2[link]) of the cage [4.4.2]propellane I with the aid of BF3·OEt2 in the presence of benzene as a solvent. Spiro cage dione I (200 mg, 0.70 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of anhydrous BF3·OEt2 (1 mL) in dry benzene (10 mL) at room temperature. Next, the resulting reaction mixture was refluxed for two days. After completion of the reaction (TLC monitoring), the reaction mixture was quenched with a saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and extracted with benzene. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine solution then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. After removal of the solvent under vacuum, the resulting crude residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography by using 5% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether as an eluent to deliver the desired rearranged cage ketone III (57 mg, 23%) containing a phenyl group as a colourless liquid. Continuous elution with 10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether delivered the rearranged cage dione II (82 mg, 41%) as a colourless crystalline solid. Recrystallization of a column-purified II from a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane (1:2) solvents gave crystals suitable for X-ray analysis. M.p. 409–411 K. IR (neat, cm−1) 2926, 2857, 1751, 1450, 1294, 1076; 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3 p.p.m.): δ 2.23–2.26 (m, 6H), 1.83 (d, J = 13.5 Hz, 2H), 1.69–1.62 (m, 2H), 1.49–1.42 (m, 10H), 1.15–1.12 (m, 2H); 13C NMR (125 MHz, CDCl3, p.p.m.): δ 213.1, 60.5, 50.6, 48.6, 48.4, 42.8, 32.5, 26.1, 22.2, 21.9; HRMS (ESI, Q-TOF) m/z calculated for C19H22O2 [M + Na] + 305.1512; found: 305.1514.

Melting points were recorded on a Veego VMP–CMP melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded on a Bruker (Avance IIITM500) spectrometer operated at 500 MHz for 1H and 125.7 MHz for 13C nuclei.

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

Refinement. All H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined using a riding model with C–H distances of 1.00 Å for all H atoms bound to tertiary C(sp3) atoms and 0.99 Å for H atoms bound to secondary C(sp3) atoms. Isotropic displacement parameters for H atoms were calculated as Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
