Abstract
1,8-Diaza-11,14-dioxacyclohexadeca-2,7-dione (3) has been synthesized under high-pressure conditions, whereas 1,10-diaza-4,7-dioxacyclohexadeca-2,9-dione (6) has been obtained under thermal conditions. Both compounds have been investigated in the solid state and in solution by X-ray structural and NMR methods, respectively. The crystals of3 are orthorhombic, space groupPbca; the crystals of6 are triclinic, space groupP¯1. Both structures were solved by direct methods, and refined by a full-matrix, least-squares procedure giving for3 R=0.045 and for 6R=0.056 (R w =0.065). From the NMR investigations in solution a twofold symmetry of both molecules (probably in intermediate conformations) is suggested; no such symmetry was found in crystalline state. The structure of6 exhibits a positional disorder of one O-heteroatoms with the population ratio 0.51∶0.49. The arrangement of the macroring with respect to the carbonyl groups was found to betransoid in3 andcisoid in6.
