Abstract  

Crystalline hydrate of the title compound (5), C₁₉H₂₆N₂O₅·2(H₂O), was structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Two kinds of centrosymmetric tetramers characterized by graph-set motifs of R ₇⁸(36) and R ₄⁶(32) are formed through O–H···O, O–H···N and C–H···O hydrogen bonding interactions, which generate a sheet of edge-fused rings parallel to the (011) plane. These sheets are further linked into a three dimensional network by C–H···π interactions. Nine 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)furan-2(5H)-ones were synthesized and fully characterized by elemental analysis, MS and ¹H NMR. All of them were evaluated for antimicrobial activities against three Gram-positive organisms and a Gram-negative organism, and compound 5 was the most active against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure Determination of 3-Phenyl-2-(2-phenylhydrazino)-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1-benzothiopyran-4-one

Abstract  

A new type of substituted benzothiopyranone, 3-phenyl-2-(2-phenylhydrazino)-4H-1-benzothiopyran-4-one, has been prepared by the condensation-acid cyclization of polylithiated phenylacetic acid phenylhydrazide with lithiated methyl thiosalicylate. Absorption spectra, especially ¹³C NMR, provided good indication of its structure, which was conclusively established with X-ray crystal structure analysis. In comparison to the few benzothiopyran X-ray reports documented, the benzothiopyranone ring of the molecule was found to be essentially planar, with the 3-phenyl ring nearly perpendicular to the benzothiopyranone fused-ring system. Crystals of C₂₁H₁₆N₂OS are orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁, a = 10.140(4) ?, b = 10.432(4) ?, c = 16.228(7) ?, Z = 4, V = 1717(1) ?³, R ₁ = 0.0267 and wR ₂ = 0.0725 for reflections with I > 2σ(I). The molecular packing in the crystal is the result of N–H···O hydrogen bonding.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 5-[2-(6-bromonaphthalenyloxymethyl)]-3-(4-morpholinomethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-thione

Abstract  The title compound, C₁₈H₁₈BrN₃O₃S, a derivative of 1,3,4-oxadiazole, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with unit cell parameters a = 6.8731(3), b = 8.9994(4), c = 15.7099(6) ?, α = 92.779(3)°, β = 130.575(3)°, γ = 107.868(4)°, Z = 2. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the planar naphthyl and morpholine (chair) rings with the planar oxadiazol ring is 50.1(8) and 76.8(6)°, respectively. The planar naphthyl ring is twisted 52.2(5)° with the mean plane of the morpholine ring. A group of four intermolecular close contacts are observed between a bromine atom and hydrogen atoms from the closely packed naphthyl, morpholine and oxy–methyl groups in the unit cell. These molecular interactions in concert with an additional series of π–π stacking interactions that occur between the center of gravity of the two 6-membered rings of the naphthalene group influence the twist angles of each of these three groups. A MOPAC AM1 calculation of the conformation energy of the crystal structure [226.0128(9) kcal] compared to that of the minimum energy structure after geometry optimization [29.9744(1) kcal] reveals a significantly reduced value. The twist angles of the three groups above also change after the AM1 calculation giving support to the influence of both intermolecular C–H···Br short-range interactions and Cg π–π stacking interactions on these angles which therefore play a role in stabilizing crystal packing.
