Source of material

5 mL of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (25%) was added dropwise to the mixture of 7-fluoro-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (700 mg, 4.26 mmol) and 4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (870 mg, 4.26 mmol) in 10 mL methanol and stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The in process-control was monitored by silica gel thin layer chromatography (TLC, 254 nm). When the reaction was finished, the precipitate was suction filtered out, and a 50% methanol aqueous solution was added dropwise to wash, and the filter cake was vacuum dried at 65 °C to obtain a light yellow solid. Suitable crystals of the title compound were obtained by recrystallization in dichloromethane and methanol (1:1, v/v) system and dried under vacuum at 65 °C for 5 h.

Experimental details

The H atoms were placed in idealized positions and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with d(C–H) = 0.96 Å (methyl), U iso(H) = 1.5 U eq(C), and d(C–H) = 0.97 Å (methylene), U iso(H) = 1.2U eq(C), and d(C–H) = 0.93 Å (aromatic), U iso(H) = 1.2U eq(C). Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 40% probability level.

Comment

Studies have shown that the development of an anti-inflammatory and low toxic NF-/KB inhibitor is of great significance for the treatment of inflammatory neurodegenerative CNS diseases [4], [5], [6].

Existing studies have used 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (DHN) derivatives with anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activities as novel allergic and inflammatory responses modifiers [7] and as potential retinoic acid (RA)-metabolizing enzymes inhibitors to treat skin diseases and cancer. However, there are few studies on DHN derivatives as anti-neuroinflammatory drugs. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the synthesis and crystal structure of novel benzylidene-substituted DHN derivatives with anti-neuroinflammatory activity. Our group also synthesized some of these compounds in the early stage, and studied their anti-neuroinflammatory activity. The results showed that the fluorine-substituted compounds had better activity [8], [9], [10]. In this study, a new benzylidene-substituted DHN derivative was designed and synthesized through Claisen–Schmidt condensation reactions (see the Figure).

Single-crystal structure analysis revealed that the title compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The ORTEP diagram is presented in the Figure. Bond lengths and angles are all in the expected ranges [1113]. There is only one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecule adopts the E stereochemistry [14]. The 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one, the 7-fluorophenyl and 4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl groups are not coplanar. This twisted configuration may increase likelihood of interactions with bioactive molecules, for the purposes of creating more potent biological activity [15].
