Crystal and Molecular Structure of N-Trityl Chloroform Solvate

Abstract

The title compound, (C<inf>26</inf>H<inf>23</inf>N)<inf>3</inf>·CHCl<inf>3</inf>, was synthesized by the reaction of trityl bromide with m-toluidine in chloroform and crystalized in the trigonal R3 space group (Z = 6) with the one molecule of chloroform, and with a = 20.765(5), b = 20.765(5), c = 24.924(5)Å, α = β = 90°, γ = 120°, V = 9307(4)Å3, Z = 6 and D<inf>x</inf> = 1.250 Mg m-3. A least-squares refinement gave a residual index of R = 0.065 for 3540 observed reflections. Three phenyl rings of the title compound are at angles of 60.39(13), 74.10(14) and 70.17(13)° to the six-membered ring of the planar aminophenol group. The dihedral angles between three phenyl rings are 73.60(16), 87.80(15) and 56.52(15)°. 2007 © The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry.
