Notes:
The substituted 6-hydroxy-trans-3-hexenoic acids 2a and 2b are prepared by an organometallic template reaction involving a sequence of CC coupling reactions between a CO2 equivalent, butadiene, and 3-cyclopenten-1-one or 3,4-diphenyl-3-cyclopenten-1-one, respectively. In the crystal 2a assembles to form an infinite ribbon-type structure, exhibiting an alternating array of 12 and 18 atom-containing loops. The former are each constructed by an alternating CO2H/OH/CO2H/OH sequence, originating from four different monomeric units, that are linked together by means of hydrogen bonds. Two complementary ribbons of 2a are connected by van der Waals interactions to form staples that constitute the microscopic building blocks of the true (2a)n structure in the crystal. Stacks of cyclopentene π bonds are oriented inside the columnar structure of 2a. Acid 2b also forms a related ribbon-like assembly in the solid state. Here the bulky 3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienylidene moieties are oriented laterally at the ribbons, and van-der-Waals interactions with adjacent ribbons construct a three-dimensional hydroxyhexenoic acid network.
