Bis(5‐hydroxy‐2‐hydroxy­methyl‐4‐pyrone‐κ2O4,O5)bis(2‐hydroxy­methyl‐5‐oxido‐4‐pyrone‐κ2O4,O5)­calcium(II) tetrahydrate

In the title compound, [Ca(C₆H₅O₄)₂(C₆H₆O₄)₂]·4H₂O, which is a kojic acid–Ca²⁺ complex, the Ca atom is on a twofold axis and is octacoordinated by O atoms from four pyrone ligand mol­ecules. The hydroxyl and ketone O atoms of each ligand form a five‐membered chelate ring with the Ca atom. The crystal structure is stabilized by partial stacking and O—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

2‐Amino‐5‐methyl­pyridinium (2‐amino‐5‐methyl­pyridine)trichloro­zincate(II)

The title compound, (C₆H₉N₂)[ZnCl₃(C₆H₈N₂)], consists of one 2‐amino‐5‐methyl­pyridinium cation and one (2‐amino‐5‐methyl­pyridine)trichloro­zincate(II) anion, which are held together by N—H·Cl hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions. The cation and the pyridine ligand show similar geometric features, except for the N—C bond lengths. Mol­ecules of the title compound are connected by N—H·Cl hydrogen bonds to form chiral chains; these chains are associated further by C—H·Cl hydrogen bonds to form layers, which are in turn linked by π–π inter­actions.

Two new Complexes(Cp)2Ti(Cin)2and (CP2)Ti(Tzea)2(CP=Cyclopentadienyl η^5-C5H5)have been synthesized in THF by the reaction of HCin(Cincofen,2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid)or HTzea(5-phenyltetrazolyl-2-ethanoic acid)with(Cp)2TiCl2,and characterized by elemental analyses,IR,1H NMR and 13C NMR,UV spectra,molar conductivity,TGDTA.In the complexes the carboxyl groups are coordinated to Ti(IV)in a monodentate manner,The inhibitory actions of the complexes on mice ear tumefaction caused by croton oil and the rat foot granulation growth produced by cotton wool are higher than those of the corresponding ligands HCin,HTzea and [(Cp)2TiCl2],while their toxicities are lower than those of the free ligands.ηη     

(−)‐(1R,2S,2′R,5R)‐2‐(1‐Hydroxyprop‐2‐yl)‐5‐methylcyclohexanol

Stereoselective hydroboration of (?)‐isopulegol and subsequent fractional crystallization furnishes the title compound, C₁₀H₂₀O₂. The relative configuration of the stereogenic centres has been assigned by means of X‐ray diffraction analysis since the monoterpenediol is employed as a versatile chiral building block in stereospecific natural product synthesis.     

Chlorido(η5‐cyclopentadienyl)bis(dimethylamido)titanium, [TiCl(η5‐C5H5)(NMe2)2]

The title complex, [Ti(C₅H₅)(C₂H₆N)₂Cl], exhibits two nearly planar dimethylamide groups oriented approximately perpendicular to each other. The Ti→cyclopentadienyl centroid vector lies nearly in the plane of one of the dimethylamide groups. Long‐range contacts between Ti—Cl and cyclopentadienyl H—C groups give rise to geometric ordering in the extended solid.     

Reinvestigation of the Synthesis of Ketanserin (5) and its Hydrochloride Salt (5.HCl) via 3‐(2‐Chloroethyl)‐2,4‐(1H,3H)‐quinazolinedione (2) or Dihydro‐5H‐oxazole(2,3‐b)quinazolin‐5‐one (1)

The synthesis of ketanserin ( 5 ) and its hydrochloride salt ( 5.HCl ) using respectively equimolar amounts of 3‐(2‐chloroethyl)‐2,4‐(1H,3H)‐quinazolinedione ( 2 ) with 4‐(parafluorobenzoyl)piperidine ( 3 ) and dihydro‐5H‐oxazole(2,3‐b)quinazolin‐5‐one ( 1 ) with hydrochloride salt of 4‐(parafluorobenzoyl)piperidine ( 3.HCl ) is reinvestigated. The one‐pot reaction of ethyl‐2‐aminobenzoate with ethyl chloroformate and ethanol amine has afforded 3‐(2‐chloroethyl)‐2,4‐(1H,3H)‐quinazolinedione ( 2 ) (86%) that was then refluxed with 4‐(parafluorobenzoyl)piperidine ( 3 ) in ethyl methyl ketone in the presence of sodium carbonate to obtain free base of ketanserin (87%). In another attempt, a very pure hydrochloride salt of ketanserin ( 5.HCl ) was synthesized using equimolar amounts of dihydro‐5H‐oxazole(2,3‐b)quinazolin‐5‐one ( 1 ) and hydrochloride salt of 4‐(parafluorobenzoyl)piperidine ( 3.HCl ) by a solvent‐less fusion method. Thus, under optimized conditions, 180°C and a reaction time of 30 min, the powder mixture was transformed into glassy crystals that were initially readily soluble in chloroform but were transformed afterwards over time (2 h) to white precipitates ( 5.HCl ) suspended in chloroform with a yield of 72%.     

Synthesen und Eigenschaften von Pentafluorethylkupfer(I)‐ und ‐(III)‐Verbindungen: Cu(C2F5) · D, [Cu(C2F5)2]– und (C2F5)2CuSC(S)N(C2H5)2

Syntheses and Properties of Pentafluoroethylcopper(I) and ‐copper(III) Compounds: CuC₂F₅ · D, [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–, and (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ The reactions of Cd(C₂F₅)₂ · D and Zn(C₂F₅)₂ · D (D = 2 CH₃CN, 2 DMF), respectively, with copper(I) halides in the presence of halides quantitatively yield the CuC₂F₅ compounds CuC₂F₅ · D and [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–. The CuC₂F₅ complexes are identified by NMR spectroscopy, while [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– is isolated as PNP salt (PNP = (C₆H₅)₃PNP(C₆H₅)₃⁺). Both compounds are excellent C₂F₅ group transfer reagents, even at low temperature. Oxidation of [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– with [(C₂H₅)₂NC(S)S]₂ yields the crystalline Cu(III) compound (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ (monoclinic, C2/c).     

Bis(5‐phenyltetrazol‐2‐yl)methane

In the title compound, alternatively named 5,5′‐diphenyl‐2,2′‐methyleneditetrazole, C₁₅H₁₂N₈, the dihedral angles between the tetrazole and benzene rings in the two 5‐phenyl­tetrazole fragments are 2.45 (6) and 10.01 (9)°. There is weak intermolecular C—H?N hydrogen bonding involving the H atoms of the methyl­ene groups, which is responsible for the formation of two‐membered aggregates. C—H?π interactions in the crystal structure are discussed.     

The β‐Agostic Structure in (C5Me5)2Sc(CH2CH3): Solid‐State NMR Studies of (C5Me5)2Sc−R (R=Me,Ph, Et)

Multinuclear solid‐state NMR studies of Cp*₂Sc?R (Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; R=Me, Ph, Et) and DFT calculations show that the Sc?Et complex contains a β‐CH agostic interaction. The static central transition ⁴⁵Sc NMR spectra show that the quadrupolar coupling constants (C_q) follow the trend of Ph≈Me>Et, indicating that the Sc?R bond is different in Cp*₂Sc?Et compared to the methyl and phenyl complexes. Analysis of the chemical shift tensor (CST) shows that the deshielding experienced by Cβ in Sc?CH₂CH₃ is related to coupling between the filled σ_C‐C orbital and the vacant orbital.

2‐(Diphenylphosphinoylmethyl)pyrrole–2‐(diphenylphosphinomethyl)pyrrole (0.43/0.57) and tetrachlorido(5‐diphenylphosphinomethyl‐2H‐pyrrole‐κ2N,P)titanium(IV)

The title phosphine oxide–phosphine, 0.43C₁₇H₁₆NOP·0.57C₁₇H₁₆NP, (I)/(II), was obtained as a 0.861 (6):1.139 (6) cocrystallized mixture. Hydrogen bonding between the two constituents leads to the formation of 2:2 solid‐state assemblies. Instead of forming the expected simple N,P‐chelated system via loss of the N‐bound H atom, reaction of 2‐(diphenylphosphinomethyl)pyrrole, (II), with TiCl₄ leads to the formation of the title titanium(IV) complex, [TiCl₄(C₁₇H₁₆NP)], (IV), containing a rearranged neutral ligand in which the N‐bound H atom moves to one of the pyrrole C atoms, giving a partially unsaturated ring.     

(2R,3R,4R,5S)‐3,4,5‐Tri­hydroxy‐2‐(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)­piperidinium chloride

The absolute configuration at the new stereogenic centre during the key step of the total synthesis was established byX‐ray analysis of the title compound, C₇H₁₅NO₄⁺·Cl^?.     

Energetic Derivatives of 4, 4′,5, 5′‐Tetranitro‐2, 2′‐bisimidazole (TNBI)

4, 4′,5, 5′‐Tetranitro‐2, 2′‐bisimidazole (TNBI) was synthesized by nitration of bisimidazole (BI) and recrystallized from acetone to form a crystalline acetone adduct. Its ammonium salt ( 1 ) was obtained by the reaction with gaseous ammonia. In order to explore new explosives or propellants several energetic nitrogen‐rich 2:1 salts such as the hydroxylammonium ( 3 ), guanidinium ( 4 ), aminoguanidinium ( 5 ), diaminoguanidinium ( 6 ) and triaminoguanidinium 7 4, 4′,5, 5′‐tetranitro‐2, 2′‐bisimidazolate were prepared by facile metathesis reactions. In addition, methylated 1, 1′‐dimethyl‐4, 4′,5, 5′‐tetranitro‐2, 2′‐bisimidazole (Me₂TNBI, 8 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 2 and dimethyl sulfate. Metal salts of TNBI can also be easily synthesized by using the corresponding metal bases. This was proven by the synthesis of pyrotechnically relevant dipotassium 4, 4′,5, 5′‐tetranitro‐2, 2′‐bisimidazolate ( 2 ), which is a brilliant burning component e.g. in near‐infrared flares. All compounds were characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction, NMR and vibrational spectroscopy, elemental analysis and DSC. The sensitivities were determined by BAM methods (drophammer and friction tester). The heats of formation were calculated using CBS‐4M electronic enthalpies and the atomization method. With these values and mostly the X‐ray densities different detonation parameters were computed by the EXPLO5 computer code. Due to the great thermal stability and calculated energetic properties, especially guanidinium salt 4 could be served as a HNS replacement.     

Rhodium(I) and Silver(I) Complexes of 4, 5‐Dicyano‐1, 3‐dimesityl‐ and 4, 5‐Dicyano‐1, 3‐dineopentylimidazol‐2‐ylidene

The new N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors 4, ‐dicyano‐1, ‐dimesityl‐ ( 9 ) and 4, 5‐dicyano‐1, 3‐dineopentyl‐2‐(pentafluorophenyl)imidazoline ( 14 ) were synthesized. The structure of 9 could be determined by X‐ray crystallography. With the 2‐pentafluorophenyl‐substituted imidazolines 9 and 14 , the [AgCl(NHC)], [RhCl(COD)(NHC)], and [RhCl(CO)₂(NHC)] complexes [NHC = 4, 5‐dicyano‐1, 3‐dimesitylimidazol‐2‐ylidene ( 3 ) and 4, 5‐dicyano‐1, 3‐dineopentylimidazol‐2‐ylidene ( 4 )] were obtained. Crystal structures of [AgCl( 3 )] ( 15 ), [RhCl(COD)( 3 )] ( 17 ), [RhCl(COD)( 4 )] ( 18 ), and [RhCl(CO)₂( 3 )] ( 19 ) were solved and with the crystal data of 19 , the percent buried volume ( %V_bur) of 31.8(±0.1) % was determined for NHC 3 . Infrared spectra of the imidazolines 9 and 14 and of the complexes 15 – 20 were recorded and the CO stretching frequencies of complexes 19 and 20 were used to determine the Tolman electronic parameters of the newly obtained NHCs 3 (TEP: 2060 cm^–1) and 4 (TEP: 2061 cm^–1), thus proving that 1, 3‐substitution of maleonitrile‐NHCs does not have a significant effect for the high π‐acceptor strength of these carbenes.     

Bis(2‐chloro‐5‐methylpyridine‐κN)bis(nitrato‐κ2O,O′)copper(II)

In the molecule of the title compound, [Cu(NO₃)₂(C₆H₆ClN)₂], the Cu atom lies on an inversion centre and is six‐coordinated by two pyridine N atoms and four nitrate O atoms in trans positions. The nitrate acts as an unsymmetrical bidentate ligand. The coordination geometry is octahedral, with the Cu—N and the two Cu—O distances being 1.9939 (16), 2.0246 (16) and 2.4866 (19) Å, respectively. There are five types of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Two of these generate two‐dimensional molecular networks in the direction of the a axis, and the others connect adjacent molecular networks.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur des heterobimetallischen Diorganozinndichlorids (FcN,N)2SnCl2 (FcN,N—: (η5‐C5H5)Fe{(η5‐C5H3[CH(CH3)N(CH3)CH2CH2NMe2]‐2}—)

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Heterobimetallic Diorganotindichloride (FcN, N)₂SnCl₂ (FcN, N^—: (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe{η⁵‐C₅H₃[CH(CH₃)N(CH₃)CH₂CH₂NMe₂]‐2}^—) The heterobimetallic title compound [(FcN, N)₂SnCl₂] ( 1 ) was obtained by the reaction of [LiFcN, N] with SnCl₄ in the molar ratio 1:1 in diethylether as a solvent. The two FcN, N^— ligands in 1 are bound to Sn through a C‐Sn σ‐bond; the amino N atoms of the side‐chain in FcN, N^— remain uncoordinated. The crystals contain monomeric molecules with a pseudo‐tetrahedral coordination at the Sn atom: Space group P2₁/c; Z = 4, lattice dimensions at —90 °C: a = 9.6425(2), b = 21.7974(6), c = 18.4365(4) Å, β = 100.809(2)°, R1_obs· = 0.051, wR2_obs· = 0.136.     

(6‐Oxido‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylato‐κ2O5,O6)bis[2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐κ2N2,N3]manganese(II) monohydrate

In the title compound, [Mn(C₅H₂N₂O₄)(C₁₂H₉N₃)₂]·H₂O, the Mn^II centre is surrounded by three bidentate chelating ligands, namely, one 6‐oxido‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylate (or uracil‐5‐carboxylate, Huca²⁻) ligand [Mn—O = 2.136 (2) and 2.156 (3) Å] and two 2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole (Hpybim) ligands [Mn—N = 2.213 (3)–2.331 (3) Å], and it displays a severely distorted octahedral geometry, with cis angles ranging from 73.05 (10) to 105.77 (10)°. Intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds both between the Hpybim and the Huca²⁻ ligands and between the Huca²⁻ ligands link the molecules into infinite chains. The lattice water molecule acts as a hydrogen‐bond donor to form double O...H—O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the Huca²⁻ O atoms, crosslinking the chains to afford an infinite two‐dimensional sheet; a third hydrogen bond (N—H...O) formed by the water molecule as a hydrogen‐bond acceptor and a Hpybim N atom further links these sheets to yield a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework. Possible partial π–π stacking interactions involving the Hpybim rings are also observed in the crystal structure.     

(5Z)‐4‐Amino‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐imidazol‐5(2H)‐one oxime 3‐oxide

The title molecule, C₉H₁₀N₄O₃, consists of benzene and imidazole rings which are almost perpendicular to each other. A hydroxyimino group is directly linked to the imidazole ring with a double C=N bond, which is the first example in this type of compound. The double bond may be a good location for the initiation of various reactions with a wide range of potential applications. In the crystal structure, there are π–π interactions between molecules related by a centre of symmetry, with the imidazole and benzene rings almost completely overlapped. The molecules are hydrogen bonded in each direction and form a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network.

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₁₉H₂₀O₂S, corresponds to a chiral sulfinyldienol with two stereogenic centres, viz. the C atom susbtituted by the hydr­oxy group and the sulfinyl S atom. The mol­ecule displays a V‐shape in the solid state. The dihedral angle defined by the least‐squares planes of the aromatic rings is 72.9 (1)°. The packing pattern exhibits the following inter­molecular hydrogen bonds: one O—H⋯O [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, O⋯O = 2.785 (4) Å and O—H⋯O = 166°] and two C—H⋯O [H⋯O = 2.58 and 2.60 Å, C⋯O = 3.527 (5) and 3.347 (5) Å, and C—H⋯O = 164 and 134°]. These define a chain along b.

These complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elementary analysis, and X‐ray diffraction. A low‐temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement for the solid sample of 2 revealed antiferromagnetic interactions between two central copper(II) atoms. The emission property studies for complexes 4 and 5 indicated strong luminescence emission.
