Methyl 2‐benzamido‐4‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐5‐methylbenzoate and N‐{5‐benzoyl‐2‐[(Z)‐2‐methoxyethenyl]‐4‐methylphenyl}benzamide

Methyl 2‐benzamido‐4‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐5‐methylbenzoate, C₂₄H₂₃NO₅, (Ia), and N‐{5‐benzoyl‐2‐[(Z)‐2‐methoxyethenyl]‐4‐methylphenyl}benzamide, C₂₄H₂₁NO₃, (IIa), were formed via a Diels–Alder reaction of appropriately substituted 2H‐pyran‐2‐ones and methyl propiolate or (Z)‐1‐methoxybut‐1‐en‐3‐yne, respectively. Each of these cycloadditions might yield two different regioisomers, but just one was obtained in each case. In (Ia), an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond closes a six‐membered ring. A chain is formed due to aromatic π–π interactions, and a three‐dimensional framework structure is formed by a combination of C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. Compound (IIa) was formed not only regioselectively but also chemoselectively, with just the triple bond reacting and the double bond remaining unchanged. Compound (IIa) crystallizes as N—H...O hydrogen‐bonded dimers stabilized by aromatic π–π interactions. Dimers of (IIa) are connected into a chain by weak C—H...π(arene) interactions.     

7‐Amino‐5‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐6‐(phenyldiazenyl)pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine crystallizes with Z′ = 2: pseudosymmetry and the formation of complex sheets built from N—H...N and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds

The title compound, C₁₉H₁₆N₆, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group P2₁/n. The two molecules in the selected asymmetric unit are approximate mirror images of one another; most corresponding pairs of atoms are related by an approximate half‐cell translation along [100]. Each molecule contains an intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond and the molecules are linked into complex sheets by a combination of two intermolecular N—H...N and four C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. Comparisons are made with some other 7‐aminopyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines.     

Hyperfine Coupling Constants of β‐Phosphorylated Nitroxides: A Tool to Probe the Cybotactic Effect by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance

Nitrogen hyperfine coupling constants (hcc) a_N of nitroxides measured by electron paramagnetic resonance are used to probe the cybotactic effect of solvents. A few articles (Janzen et al., Can. J. Chem. in 1982 for a_Hβ and Deng et al., J. Fluorine Chem. in 2002 , both for a_Hβ and a_Fβ) dealt with the cybotactic effect on the hcc of atoms (hydrogen H, fluorine F, and phosphorus P) in β positions of nitroxides. They show either no significant change or an increase in a_β with a_N. However, an early report by Il′Yasov et al. (Theor. Exp. Chem. 1976 , 656) described a dramatic change in a_Pβ with the solvent and an anti‐correlation of a_Pβ with a_N. We decided to reinvestigate that work using the N‐(2‐methylpropyl)‐N‐(1‐diethylphosphono‐2,2‐dimethylpropyl)‐N‐oxyl radical that carries both hydrogen and phosphorus atoms on the same carbon attached to the nitroxy moiety and that is highly persistent, in contrast to the nitroxide used by Il′Yasov. We observe the same trends as those observed by Il′Yasov, except that the solvent cybotactic effect on a_N and a_Pβ is dramatically weaker in our case. We showed that a_Pβ is correlated to both the cohesive pressure c and the normalized Reichardt polar constant E_T^N, and that hydrogen‐bonding donor solvents exhibit a specific behavior.     

(2‐Amino­ethoxy)­bis(2‐thienyl)­boron

In the five‐membered ring in the title compound, (2‐amino­ethoxy)­bis(2‐thienyl)­boron, C₁₀H₁₂BNOS_2, the B atom is four‐coordinate with dimensions N—B 1.654 (3), O—B 1.479 (3), and C—B 1.606 (3) and 1.609 (3) Å. An intermolecular hydrogen bond between an amino H atom and the ethoxy O atom links the mol­ecules into infinite chains along the a axis. Only one of the two amino H atoms is involved in hydrogen bonding because there is only the one acceptor atom, the ethoxy O atom, and the molecular geometry precludes formation of a second hydrogen bond by the second amino H atom.     

Two methyl 3‐(1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)octahydropyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1‐carboxylates form different hydrogen‐bonded sheets

In the molecules of both methyl (1RS,3SR,3aRS,6aSR)‐1‐methyl‐3‐(3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐4,6‐dioxo‐5‐phenyloctahydropyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1‐carboxylate, C₂₅H₂₄N₄O₄, (I), and methyl (1RS,3SR,3aRS,6aSR)‐5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐methyl‐3‐(3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐4,6‐dioxooctahydropyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1‐carboxylate, C₂₅H₂₃ClN₄O₄, (II), the two rings of the pyrrolopyrrole fragment are both nonplanar, with conformations close to half‐chair forms. The overall conformations of the molecules of (I) and (II) are very similar, apart from the orientation of the ester function. The molecules of (I) are linked into sheets by a combination of an N—H...π(pyrrole) hydrogen bond and three independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The molecules of (II) are also linked into sheets, which are generated by a combination of an N—H...N hydrogen bond and two independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds, weakly augmented by a C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond.

The hydroxyl‐H atom is ordered and participates in a single intramolecular hydrogen bond and in a single intermolecular hydrogen bond, in which the O_D—H distance is 0.90 (2), H?O_A is 2.34 (3), O_D?O_A is 2.987 (2) Å and O_D—H?O_A is 129 (2)°. The intermolecular hydrogen bond forms an R(12) cyclic dimer about a center of symmetry. There are six leading C—H?O interactions. Taken together, these interactions form a three‐dimensional network. Structural comparisons are made with tetrabenzodi­spiro­[4.0.4.3]­tridecatetraene.

Both nucleoside and solvent molecules participate in the formation of a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonding pattern via intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds; the N atoms of the heterocyclic moiety and the F substituent do not take part in hydrogen bonding.
