Six 1-aroyl-4-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)piperazines: similar mol-ecular structures but different patterns of supra-molecular assembly.

ABSTRACT: Six new 1-aroyl-4-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)piperazines have been prepared, using coupling reactions between benzoic acids and N-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)piperazine. There are no significant hydrogen bonds in the structure of 1-benzoyl-4-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)piperazine, C₁₈H₂₀N₂O₂, (I). The mol-ecules of 1-(2-fluoro-benzo-yl)-4-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)piperazine, C₁₈H₁₉FN₂O₂, (II), are linked by two C-H?O hydrogen bonds to form chains of rings, which are linked into sheets by an aromatic ?-? stacking inter-action. 1-(2-Chloro-benzo-yl)-4-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)piperazine, C₁₈H₁₉ClN₂O₂, (III), 1-(2-bromo-benzo-yl)-4-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)piperazine, C₁₈H₁₉BrN₂O₂, (IV), and 1-(2-iodo-benzo-yl)-4-(4-meth-oxyphen-yl)piperazine, C₁₈H₁₉IN₂O₂, (V), are isomorphous, but in (III) the aroyl ring is disordered over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies of 0.942?(2) and 0.058?(2). In each of (III)-(V), a combination of two C-H??(arene) hydrogen bonds links the mol-ecules into sheets. A single O-H?O hydrogen bond links the mol-ecules of 1-(2-hy-droxy-benzo-yl)-4-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)piperazine, C₁₈H₂₀N₂O₃, (VI), into simple chains. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.
