Source of materials

To a solution of methyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (3.0 g, 13.3 mmol) [5, 6] in a 1:1 mixture of dry THF (100 mL) and dry ethanol (100 mL) was added 10% Pd–C (1.2 g, 11.3 mmol). The flask was degassed and purged with pure hydrogen for 45 min. The reaction was left stirring for 48 h. The reaction was filtered using Celite-545, and the solution was concentrated by evaporating most of the reaction solvent using a rotary evaporator. The residue was poured into n-hexane (150 mL). The product was filtered and the solvent was removed in vacuo to afford the title compound as brown powder (2.0 g, 91%). A sample of the title compound was dissolved in a mixture of DMSO/EtOH 10:1 v/v and left undisturbed. Unexpectedly the starting material was grown by slow evaporation of the solution over a period of seven days.

Experimental details

The structure was solved by Direct Methods. H atoms were included in calculated positions with C–H lengths of 0.95(CH), 0.99(CH2) & 0.98(CH3) Å; U iso(H) values were fixed at 1.2U eq(C) except for CH3 where it was 1.5U eq(C).

Comment

The title compound molecular structure is shown in the figure. It is a highly planar structure, in which the ester and aromatic ring both occupy the same plane, indicating conjugation of both the CH3O lone pair and the aromatic system with the carbonyl. The X-ray structure revealed close contacts between both of the aromatic amino groups and nearby molecules in the crystal. One aromatic amine has intermolecular NH π-aromatic interactions with a neighboring aromatic system. This is evident from the close contacts between the aromatic NH and aromatic carbons ipso (2.628 Å) and ortho (2.692 and 2.776 Å) to the methyl ester. The other aromatic NH is involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding with the methyl ester carbonyl oxygen at a distance of 2.265 Å. All bond lengths are in the expected ranges [7].
