Crystal structure of (2-{[3,5-bis­(1,1-di­methyl­eth­yl)-4-hy­droxy­phen­yl](5-methyl-2H-pyrrol-2-yl­idene)meth­yl}-5-methyl-1H-pyrrolido-κ2N,N′)di­fluoridoboron

摘要

The title compound, C25H31BF2N2O, is a potential boron tracedrug in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), in which the B atom adopts a distorted BN2F2 tetra­hedral geometry: it is soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide, di­methyl­formamide and methanol. The pyrrolyl­idene­methyl­pyrrole triple fused ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å) and subtends a dihedral angle of 47.09 (5)° with the plane of the pendant phenol ring. The phenol –OH group is blocked from forming hydrogen bonds by the adjacent bulky tert-butyl groups. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of very weak C—H⋯F inter­actions generate R22(22) loops.
