Synthesis and structure of 4-R,5-R-[5-(hydroxy-diphenyl-methyl)-2, 2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl]-phenyl-methanone, a chiral ligand building block

A triphenyl analog of taddol, 4-R,5-R-[5-(hydroxy-diphenyl-methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl]-phenyl-methanone, has been synthesized and structurally characterized.

(rac)-4-POT and (R)-4-POT crystals are shown to have different hydrogen-bonding patterns. In the racemic crystals, the enantiomeric (R)- and (S)-4-POT molecules are connected to form a cyclic dimer via the N–H S hydrogen bond of the cis thioamide moiety [N Sⁱ 3.438(2) Å, N–H Sⁱ 176(2)° symmetry code: (i) 1 – x, 1 – y, 1 – z].

Observed difference of 46°C in the melting points between the (rac)-4-POT and (R)-4-POT crystals is correlated with difference in the crystal packing. Vibrational spectra of (rac)- and (R)-4-POT crystals are discussed both in the solid state and in solution.

A comparison of the crystal structures of (dabcoH2)CuCl4 and (dabcoH2)CuCl4⋅H2O

The crystal structures of the anhydrous and monohydrated (dabcoH₂)CuCl₄nH₂O salts (n = 0,1) have been determined and a comparison of their crystal structures has been reported. The anhydrous salt is monoclinic P2₁/c with a = 9.045(2) Å, b = 6.9270(10) Å, c = 18.767(4) Å and = 90.07(3)° with V = 1175.8(4) ų. The hydrated salt is also monoclinic P2₁/c with a = 9.266(2) Å, b = 9.395(2) Å, c = 14.386(3) Å and = 93.32(3)° with V = 1250.3(5) ų. The structures of the two salts are closely related. Both compounds contain isolated distorted (compressed) tetrahedral CuCl₄ ^2– anions, diprotonated dabco cations, and in the case of the hydrated salt, lattice H₂O molecules. In the anhydrous salt, each of the two N–H⁺ groups of the dabcoH₂ ²⁺ dications form bifurcated hydrogen bonds to chloride ions on adjacent CuCl₄ ^2– anions along the c axis, thus forming chains running parallel to the c axis. In the hydrated salt, a water molecule is inserted into one of the pair of bifurcated hydrogen bonds, forming instead N–H O–H CuCl₄ ^2– linkages. The chains thus formed are cross-linked by O–H Cl hydrogen bonds between the chains. Because of this additional hydrogen bonding, the CuCl₄ ^2– anions in the hydrated salt are distorted further from tetrahedral geometry.

Unusual nucleotide stability through C–H ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ water interaction in crystal: Recognition of nucleotide-water duplex-helix

The direct and indirect roles of the C2- and C8-bonded water molecules (C–H    O_W) in the stabilization of unusual inosine monophosphate containing nucleotides have been observed in their highly hydrated and amino acid cocrystals, which have been discussed in this work for the first time. The intermolecular H-bonding of W_R (the oxygen of ribose 2- and 3-hydroxyls bonded water molecule, O2    W_R    O3) with the C2–H bonded O_W's (O_W    W_R 2.43–2.78 Å) can influence the ribose and thus the nucleotide stability, whereas the water molecule (O_W) of C8–H    O_W can participate in the base stability by sandwiching the stacked purines through N7    O_W    N7 intermolecular interactions, with N7    O_W 2.63–2.75 Å. However, in some cases the water oxygen (O_W) of C8–H can get intermolecularly H-bonded to water molecular oxygen W_N (with O_W    W_N 2.57–2.85 Å), which has previously stabilized the nucleotide single-strand through intermolecular stacking N7    W_N    N7 interaction (N7    W_N 2.56–2.63 Å). The conjugal survival of the H-bonded nucleotide single-strand with the water-helix thus forming the duplex and its stabilization through the C–H    O_W mediated water molecular (O_W) cooperative H-bonding network, specially with the ribose and the base units, in the crystals could favor the support of single-stranding potentiality and thus the stability of the purine-rich RNAs or the small unusual nucleotides in the aquated environment besides the other interactive factors.
