Source of materials

Controlled potential electrolysis (Pt gauze anode, Pt cathode; MeCN/0.2 M LiClO4) of (E)-methyl 2-(4-methoxystyryl)benzoate at the first anodic wave (+1.20 V vs. Ag/AgNO3 reference electrode) was allowed to proceed until consumption of 1 F mol−1. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo, and CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was then added. The mixture was then poured into H2O and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 20 mL). The combined organic layer was then washed with H2O, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was then purified using centrifugal preparative thin layer chromatography (SiO2, n-hexane/CH2Cl2, 4/1 to 5% MeOH/CH2Cl2), followed by HPLC (Luna phenyl-hexyl column, 8% H2O:MeCN, 10 ml/min) to give tetrahydrofuran (2.8 mg, 5%), napthelene (10.7 mg, 20%), diene (2.7 mg, 5%) derivatives [8] and the titled compound as a minor product (0.39 mg, 0.7%). The titled compound was recrystallized with CH2Cl2/hexanes (slow evaporation) to give colourless block crystals.

Experimental details

The structure was solved with the XT structure solution program (SHELXT 2014/5) and refined on F 2 (SHELXL-2018/3). All hydrogen atoms were placed in idealized positions and refined as riding atoms with the relative isotropic parameters.

Comment

Polyphenolic compounds such as oligostilbenes are formed from the polymerization of resveratrol (a stilbenoid) or its derivatives and this leads to the formation of complex molecular architectures. Many of these oligostilbenes exhibit various biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, antiviral, and antimicrobial activities [9]. This has led to various groups carrying out the synthesis of these oligostilbenes [10]. In our previous study, we have carried out electrochemical oxidation of (E)-methyl 2-(4-methoxystyryl)benzoate and the major products obtained (bis-stilbeniod compounds) were tetrahydrofuran, napthelene, and a diene derivatives [8]. We now report the crystal structure of the title compound, a minor product which was not reported in the original publication. The title compound may have formed via dehydrogenation of C8A–C8B of the tetrahydrofuran derivative formed during the anodic oxidation.

The title compound with the molecular formula C34H30O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic system in the space group C2/c. In the crystal structure, it can be seen that the dehydrofuran centre is almost planar, with the torsional angle of ca. 171° for O1–C7A–C8A–C14A and ca. 178° for O1–C7B–C8B–C14B. All the aromatic rings (A–D) are in a staggered conformation with the dehydrofuran. The plane angle between the dehydrofuran and C1A–C6A p-methoxy benzene is 78°, C9A–C14A o-acetyl benzene is 69°, C9B–C14B o-acetyl benzene is 50°, and C1B–C6B p-methoxy benzene is 86°. The distance between rings C1A–C6A and C9A–C14A is 4.808 Å, C9A–C14A and C9B–C14B is 4.736 Å, and C9B–C14B and C1B–C6B is 4.716 Å.
