title: Two [7.3.1]azabicyclo-z-3-ene-1,5-diyne analogues of dynemicin A.
abstract: The crystal structures of methyl 6-methoxy-17-oxo-2-azatricyclo[7.7.1.0(3,8)]heptadeca-3(8),4 ,6,13-tetraene- 11,15-diyne-2-carboxylate ethyl acetate solvate, (1), 2C19H15NO4.0.5C4H8O2, and tricyclo[3.3.1.1(3,7)]decyl 6-methoxy-17-oxo-2-azatricyclo[7.7.1.0(3,8)]heptadeca-3(8),4 ,6,13-tetraene- 11,15-diyne-2-carboxylate ethyl acetate solvate, (2), C28H27NO4.0.5C4H8O2, are reported. For compound (1), two crystallographically independent molecules are observed. Interestingly, for both compounds (1) and (2), a molecule of ethyl acetate is found in the crystal lattice disordered about an inversion center. The azabicyclo[7.3.1]enediyne core appears to be fairly rigid. Only minor differences are observed in the ring conformation between the two independent molecules in (1) and between compounds (1) and (2) themselves. The conformation is also similar to that found in deoxydynemicin A [Shiomi, Iinuma, Naganawa, Hamada, Hattori, Nakamura, Takeuchi & Iitaka (1990). J. Antibiot. 43, 1000-1005] and triacetyldynemicin A [Konishi, Ohkuma, Tsuno, Oki, Van Duyne & Clardy (1990). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 112, 3715-3716]. The transannular diyne distance (C3...C8) averages 3.428 (2) A for compound (1) and is 3.403 (3) A for compound (2).
