Some features of the crystal and molecular structure of N-(1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)benzamidine and its hydrochloride

The crystal and molecular structures of N-(1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)benzamidine (1) and its hydrochloride (2) were determined by x-ray crystallography. In compound 1 both independent molecules are Z isomers of the anidine substituted in the imino group and 5-substituted 1H-1,2,4-triazoles. In the crystal the molecules of compound 1 are linked into a stable dimer by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. An undissociated HCl molecule was unexpectedly found in the structure of compound 2, while the structure of the base corresponded to the Z isomer of the amidine substituted in the amino group and to 2H-1,2,4-triazole substituted at position 5. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 are stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The HCl molecule participates in the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in compound 2.N. D.

Intramolecular cyclization of 2-(o-carboran-1-yl) methylthio-3-cyanopyridines in basic conditions

Substituted 2-(o-carboran-1-yl)methylthio-3-cyanopyridines and-pyrimidines undergo Thorpe-Ziegler cyclization under the influence of KOH in DMF to give the corresponding thienopyridines and thienopyrimidines. The reaction is complicated by a side reaction in which thecloso-carborane nucleus is converted to anido-system. The yield of thienopyridines containing acloso-carborane unit is increased by introduction of an acceptor substituent in the pyridine ring. Destruction of thecloso-carborane nucleus is not observed with the pyrimidine derivatives. The structures of the series of new carborane-containing thienopyridines and pyrimidines was confirmed by spectroscopic methods.A. N.

The catalytic activity of Ni(II) bis-(5-thiopyrazol-4-aldiminates) was found to be related to the stereochemical flexibility of these compounds in the dimerization of propylene.
