The asymmetric unit of C₂₀H₁₉NO₄ contains two mol­ecules with slightly different conformations. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by O—H?O and N—H?O hydrogen bonds [O?O 2.764 (3) and 2.811 (3) Å; N?O 2.907 (3) and 2.968 (3) Å] to form a two‐dimensional network.     

5,5‐Dimethyl‐3‐(5‐methyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐ylamino)cyclohex‐3‐en‐1‐one

The mol­ecules of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₇N₃O, are linked by two N—H?O hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional network. The N?O distances are 2.804 (3) and 2.766 (3) Å, both involving a common acceptor O atom.     

3‐(4‐Bromo­phenyl)‐2‐(3,4‐di­hydro‐2H‐pyran‐5‐yl)‐1,1,1‐tri­fluoro­propan‐2‐ol

The molecular structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₄BrF₃O₂, adopts a bent conformation. Intramolecular O—H?F and intermolecular O—H?O interactions form a bifurcated hydrogen bond which produces a supramolecular assembly of head‐to‐tail dimers.     

3‐(1‐Hydroxy­ethyl­idene)‐1‐phenyl­pyrrolidine‐2,4‐dione

Analysis of C₁₂H₁₁NO₃ revealed a coplanar N‐substituted phenyl group on a pyrrolidine ring with two keto moieties and a hydroxy­ethyl­idene functionality. The hydroxy group forms part of a hydrogen‐bonding network characterized by a short intramolecular H?O distance of 1.81 (3) Å, and a longer intermolecular interaction with an H?O distance of 2.38 (3) Å. Both keto groups form additional intra‐ and intermolecular C—H?O contacts with H?O distances ranging from 2.26 to 2.41 Å.     

2‐Amino‐5‐chloro‐1,3‐benzoxazol‐3‐ium 2‐(3,4‐di­chloro­phenoxy)­acetate

The 1:1 organic salt of the title compound, C₇H₆ClN₂O⁺·C₈H₅Cl₂O₃^? or [(2‐ABOX)(3,4‐D)], comprises the two constituent mol­ecules associated by an R₂²(8) graph‐set interaction through the carboxyl­ate group of 3,4‐D across the protonated N/N sites of 2‐ABOX [N?O 2.546 (3) and 2.795 (3) Å]. Cation/anion pairs associate across an inversion centre forming discrete tetramers via an additional three‐centre hydrogen‐bonding association from the latter N amino proton to a phenoxy O atom [N?O 3.176 (3) Å] and a carboxyl­ate O atom [N?O 2.841 (3) Å]. This formation differs from the polymeric hydrogen‐bonded chains previously observed for adduct structures of 2‐ABOX with carboxyl­ic acids.     

Methyl 1‐(4‐chloro­benzyl)‐2‐(4‐methyl­piperazin‐1‐yl)‐1H‐benz­imidazole‐5‐carboxyl­ate hemihydrate

The title compound, C₂₁H₂₃ClN₄O₂·0.5H₂O, contains two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. In each mol­ecule the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation; the deviations of the piperazine N atoms from the best plane through the remaining four C atoms are ?0.678 (3) and 0.662 (3) Å in mol­ecule A, and 0.687 (3) and ?0.700 (3) Å in mol­ecule B. The mol­ecules are linked by two hydrogen bonds of the O—H?N type involving the O atom of the water mol­ecule of crystallization.     

1‐Methyl‐4‐nitraminopyridinium nitrate and 4‐nitraminopyridinium methanesulfonate

In the title compounds, C₆H₈N₃O₂⁺·NO₃^? and C₅­H₆­N₃­O₂⁺·­CH₃SO₃^?, respectively, the cations are almost planar; the twist of the nitr­amino group about the C—N and N—N bonds does not exceed 10°. The deviations from coplanarity are accounted for by intermolecular N—H?O interactions. The coplanarity of the NHNO₂ group and the phenyl ring leads to the deformation of the nitr­amino group. The C—N—N angle and one C—C—N angle at the junction of the phenyl ring and the nitr­amino group are increased from 120° by ca 6°, whereas the other junction C—C—N angle is decreased by ca 5°. Within the nitro group, the O—N—O angle is increased by ca 5° and one O—N—N angle is decreased by ca 5°, whereas the other O—N—N angle remains almost unchanged. The cations are connected to the anions by relatively strong N—H?O hydrogen bonds [shortest H?O separations 1.77 (2)–1.81 (3) Å] and much weaker C—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O separations 2.30 (2)–2.63 (3) Å].     

Intermolecular O—H⃛O hydrogen bonding in the three independent molecules of (2S)‐3‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐(1‐oxoisoindolin‐2‐yl)­propanoic acid

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₅NO₄, derived from l ‐tyrosine, crystallizes with three independent mol­ecules which differ in the conformation of the asymmetric unit: the N—C—C—C_ipso torsion angles are ?71.7 (5), ?63.6 (6) and ?52.5 (5)°, respectively. Deformations in the phenol ring hydroxy O—C—C angles of 116.5 (4)/123.9 (4), 121.7 (5)/118.1 (4) and 122.4 (5)/118.6 (5)°, respectively, result from their respective intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding environments. Intermolecular O_acid—H?O=C_indole, O_phenol—H?O—H_phenol and O_phenol—H?O=C_indole hydrogen bonds, with O?O distances in the range 2.607 (4)–2.809 (4) Å, are present in combination with C—H?O and C—H?π_arene interactions. The primary hydrogen‐bonding systems assemble with graph sets R₃³(8) and R₃²(22).     

Methyl {1‐[2,3‐O‐iso­propyl­idene‐5‐O‐(4‐nitro­benzoyl)‐α‐d‐ribo­furan­osyl]‐4‐methoxy­carbonyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐5‐yl}acetate

In the title compound, C₂₂H₂₄N₄O₁₁, the N‐glycosidic torsion angles O′—C′—N—C and O′—C′—N—N are ?34.1 (6) and 148.8 (3)°, respectively. The mol­ecule displays an α‐d configuration with the ribo­furan­ose moiety in an O′‐exo–C′‐endo pucker. There are only weak C—H?O and C—H?N intra‐ and intermolecular interactions.     

Intermolecular interactions in the chiral and racemic forms of 3‐­hydroxy‐2‐(1‐oxoisoindolin‐2‐yl)­butanoic acid derived from threonine

The title compounds, C₁₂H₁₃NO₄, are derived from l ‐threonine and dl ‐threonine, respectively. Hydro­gen bonding in the chiral derivative, (2S/3R)‐3‐hydroxy‐2‐(1‐oxoisoindolin‐2‐yl)­butanoic acid, consists of O—H_acid?O_alkyl—H?O=C_indole chains [O?O 2.659 (3) and 2.718 (3) Å], Csp³—H?O and three C—H?π_arene interactions. In the (2R,3S/2S,3R) racemate, conventional carboxylic acid hydrogen bonding as cyclical (O—H?O=C)₂ [graph set R₂²(8)] is present, with O_alkyl—H?O=C_indole, Csp³—H?O and C—H?π_arene interactions. The COOH group geometry differs between the two forms, with C—O, C=O, C—C—O and C—C=O bond lengths and angles of 1.322 (3) and 1.193 (3) Å, and 109.7 (2) and 125.4 (3)°, respectively, in the chiral structure, and 1.2961 (17) and 1.2210 (18) Å, and 113.29 (12) and 122.63 (13)°, respectively, in the racemate structure. The O—C=O angles of 124.9 (3) and 124.05 (14)° are similar. The differences arise from the contrasting COOH hydrogen‐bonding environments in the two structures.     

2‐Hydro­xy‐3‐(4,5,6,7‐tetra­hydro‐1H‐imidazo­[4,5‐c]­pyridin‐5‐ium‐4‐yl)­benzoate monohydrate

The title mol­ecule, C₁₃H₁₃N₃O₃·H₂O, is in the form of a mono­hydrated zwitterion. The tetra­hydro­pyridinium ring adopts an envelope conformation and is nearly coplanar with the plane of the imidazoline ring. The water solvate mol­ecule plays an important role as a bridge between zwitterions, forming molecular chains running along the c direction, which are interconnected by N—H?O hydrogen bonds into molecular ribbons. The crystal packing is further stabilized by another N—H?O and one O—H?N hydrogen bond, which interconnect the molecular ribbons.

The tris­(phenol) mol­ecules are linked by two O—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O both 1.90 Å, O?O 2.7303 (14) and 2.7415 (15) Å, and O—H?O 173 and 176°] into sheets built from R(38) rings. Pairs of tris­(phenol) sheets are linked via the di­amine by means of a single O—H?N hydrogen bond [H?N 1.97 Å, O?N 2.7833 (16) Å and O—H?N 163°].

The principal intermolecular interactions are N_imid—H?O_nitro and N_imid—H?O=C [N?O = 3.058 (2) and 3.432 (3) Å, and N—H?O = 128 and 153°, respectively]. The closest H?S distance is an intramolecular C—H?S contact, with H?S = 2.54 Å and C—H?S = 136°.

The molecule lies on a mirror plane and the thia­zole ring is planar, regular in shape and aromatic. The S atom participates in the aromatic sextet via an electron pair on the 3p_z orbital. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are arranged in parallel layers, bound to each other by weak C—H?O and C—H?N hydrogen bonds and by S?O dipolar interactions, with an interlayer separation of 3.23 Å.

4,8‐Di­methoxy‐1‐naphthalene­methanol

The title compound, C₁₃H₁₄O₃, crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group C2/c with one mol­ecule as the asymmetric unit. Each hydroxyl O atom is involved in hydrogen bonds with two other hydroxyl O atoms. The resulting chains of interactions propagate along [001]. In these interactions, the hydroxyl H atoms are disordered and the O?O distances are 2.648 (2) and 2.698 (2) Å. Two leading intermolecular C—H?O interactions have H?O distances of 2.80 and 2.84 Å and C—H?O angles of 136 and 144°; these interactions form chain and ring patterns.
