Reaction of 2-amino-6-picoline with 2-, 3-, and 4-tolyl isothiocyanates produces the three N-2-(6-picolyl)-N-tolylthioureas, 6PicTu2T, 6PicTu3T, and 6PicTu4T. 6PicTu2T is mono-clinic, space group P2₁/n with a = 8.1700(3) Å, b = 25.5840(6) Å, c = 12.6840(5) Å, = 98.8750(16)°, and V = 2619.5(2) ų with Z = 8, for d _calc = 1.305 g/cm³. 6PicTu3T is monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 23.879(3) Å, b = 6.744(3) Å, c = 17.116(10) Å, = 99.26(4)°, and V = 2720(3) ų with Z = 8, for d _calc = 1.257 g/cm³. 6PicTu4T is triclinic, space group P-1 with a = 8.829(6) Å, b = 8.8950(15) Å, c = 10.495(3) Å, = 68.63(3)°, = 72.19(4)°, = 63.06(4)°, and V = 681.2(5) ų with Z = 2, for d _calc = 1.255 g/cm³. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving the thione sulfur and the NH hydrogen and the planarity of the thiourea are affected by the position of substitution on the aryl ring. ¹H NMR studies in CDCl₃ show the NH hydrogen resonance considerably downfield from other signals in the spectrum of each thiourea. The enthalpies of fusion of the present thioureas reflect the extent of intermolecular hydrogen bonding and are compared to other heterocyclic thioureas.

Synthesis and crystal structure of 3,5-di(2-propenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione and 2-dimethylamino-4-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine

The title compound 3,5-di(2-propenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione has been synthesized by the reaction of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione with allyl bromide. Its structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic, space group Pbca with the following crystallographic parameters: a = 16.282(4) Å, b = 8.888(2) Å, c = 19.281(5) Å, = 90°, = 90°, = 90°, = 0.088 mm^–1, V = 2790.1(13) ų, z = 8, Dx = 1.282 mg/m³, F(000) = 1136, T = 293(2) K, 2.11° 25.02°, the final R factor: R ₁ = 0.0430, wR₂ = 0.0981. The X-ray results demonstrate that the reaction of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione with allyl bromide in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide and potassium carbonate yields the N-alkylated product. The title compound 2-dimethylamino-4-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine has been synthesized by a new reaction, in which the solvent N,N-dimethylformamide involves. Its structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P-1 with the following crystallographic parameters: a = 7.977(2) Å, b = 10.394(3) Å, c = 10.837(3) Å, = 111.774(5)°, = 104.050(5)°, = 99.446(5)°, = 0.093 mm^–1, V = 776.6(4) ų, z = 2, Dx = 1.293 mg/m³, F(000) = 320, T = 293(2) K, 2.14° 25.03°, the final R factor: R ₁ = 0.0582, wR ₂ = 0.1399. The distance of N(4) C(2) (1.339 Å) is much shorter than the length of normal C N (1.47 Å) and very close to that of C-N (1.33 Å), which is indicative of the significant double bond character.     

4- and 5-nitroindane

Mononitration of indane produces a mixture of 4- and 5- nitroindanes. Crystallization from mixtures occurs after distillation improves composition of a major component to above 80%. 4-Nitroindane: triclinic, space group (#2),a=7.332(4) Å,b=8.304(4) Å,c=8.358(4) Å, =61.43(4)°, =67.60(4)°, =70.15(4)°,V=405.4(4) ų,Z=2. Non-H-atoms are nearly planar, aliphatic H's are eclipsed. 5-Nitroindane: monoclinic, space groupP2₁/c (#14),a=10.946(8) Å,b=15.643(10) Å,c=9.415(6) Å, =92.34(5)°,V=1611(2) ų,Z=8. Non-H-atoms in the two molecules differ in torsion of the nitro group with respect to indane and fold of the nonbenzylic methylene group. Semiempirical calculations (PM3) suggest that distorsion from planarity may be associated with the two lowest energy vibrational modes. Uv, ir, ms, proton, and¹³C-nmr spectra are correlated with the solid state structures.

Methyl 4-((E)-2-{3-[(3-{ (E)-2-[4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]- 1-diazenyl}-5,5-dimethylhexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl)methyl]-5,5-dimethylhexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl-1-diazenyl) benzoate. X-ray crystal structure

Methyl 4-((E)-2-{3-[(3-{(E)-2-[4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-1-diazenyl}-5, 5-dimethyl hexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl)methyl]-5, 5- dimethylhexahydro-1- pyrimidinyl}-1- diazenyl) benzoate (1) has been synthesized by reaction of a mixture of formaldehyde and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine with p-methoxycarbonylbenzenediazonium chloride. The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals of 1 displayed problems of disorder; the asymmetric unit is built up by two independent molecules, which display disorder within a methoxycarbonyl group. The two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit are very similar, differing only slightly about the mutual orientation of the aryltriazenyl groups. With respect to the N–C–N bridge between the hexahydropyrimidinyl rings, the two equivalent fragments containing the triazene moieties are in a cis orientation. The N–N single bonds, in the range 1.319(4)–1.348(4) Å, and the N=N double bonds, in the range 1.255(5)–1.275(4) Å, indicate significant conjugations within the triazene moieties. All the hexahydropyrimidine six-membered rings adopt a chair conformation as shown by their puckering parameters. The crystal packing is determined only by simple van der Waals interactions. The crystal structure of 1 is compared with the previously reported structure of the unbranched hexahydropyrimidine analogue 2.

4- and 5-nitro-2-benzoylbenzoic acid

Both carboxylic acids form the usual H-bonded dimers across crystallographic centers of inversion. The nitro groups are essentially in the ring planes, and the interplanar angle between the mean planes described by the atoms of the benzoyl substituents and those of the benzoic acid aryl rings are 69(1)° and 84(1)°, respectively. The lower cell volume, higher density, and lower solubility in ethyl ethanoate correlates with the greater packing efficiency in 5-nitro-2-benzoylbenzoic acid.

Synthesis and crystal structure of 4,5-(cis-cyclohexylenedithio)-1,3-dithiole-2-one

The x-ray crystal structure of 4,5-(cis-cyclohexylenedithio)-1,3-dithiole-2-one has been determined. Yellow block shaped crystals of C₉H₁₀OS₄ crystallize in the space group P with cell dimensions a = 8.872(4), b = 9.330(8), c = 14.333(12) Å, = 95.23(7), = 91.09(5), = 107.60(5)°, V = 1124.8(14) ų, and Z = 4. This compound has two S---S contacts [3.574, 3.610 Å] shorter than 3.70 Å and the usual disordered ethylene moiety [C(3)—C(8)] of the six-membered ring is fixed by the cis-cyclohexylene subsitituent. This means that it may be a new precursor for conducting and strong near-IR absorbing nickel-dithiolenes. Also, it provides the first example of polymorphism of the dmit derivatives and contains two independent molecules I and II in the asymmetric unit.     

Copper(II) complexes 1-phenylpropane-1,2-dione- and benzil bis(3-piperidylthiosemicarbazone): A structural study

The crystal and molecular structure of copper(II) complexes of benzil bis(3-piperidylthiosemicarbazone), [Cu(Bnzpip)] and 1-phenylpropane-1,2-dione bis(3-piperidylthiosemicarbazone), [Cu(Pmpip)] have been determined. [Cu(Bnzpip)] is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with a = 13.9375(10) Å, b = 11.6621(4) Å, c = 16.4710(10) Å, = 100.667(2)°, and V = 2630.9(3) ų with Z = 4, for d _calc = 1.399 g/cm³. [Cu(Pmpip)] is also monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with a = 11.292(6) Å, b = 10.219(5) Å, c = 20.292(6) Å, = 101.50(3)°, and V = 2295(2) ų with Z = 4, for d _calc = 1.525 g/cm³. Both complexes involve N₂S₂ coordination, are relatively planar except for the phenyl rings and have similar bond distances and angles to copper(II) complexes of other 3-piperidylthiosemicarbazones.
