On the crystal and molecular structure of 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,2,3-triene in connection with its stereospecific synthesis from (Z)-2-phenyl-1-(methylthio)vinyl cuprate and its conversion into (1Z,3E)-2-ethyl-1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diene

Abstract

The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound (1) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pcab, with cell dimensions a= 8.029(7), b= 13.032(6), c= 22.09(2)Å, and Z= 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by block-diagonal least-squares to R 0.038 for 690 observed reflections. The molecular configuration is cis, which is of significance for establishing the stereochemistry of additions to the inner double bond. Parallel butatriene chains with a mean distance of 3.7 Å are stacked in planes parallel to (010).
