Imino Diels–Alder adducts. XII. Two pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolines

The crystal structures of pyrano­quinolines 9‐fluoro‐5‐phenyl‐3,4,4a,5,6,10b‐hexa­hydro‐2H‐pyrano[3,2‐c]quinoline, C₁₈H₁₈FNO, and 9‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐3,4,4a,5,6,10b‐hexa­hydro‐2H‐pyrano­[3,2‐c]quinoline, C₁₉H₂₁NO, are isomorphous. In both structures, the pyran ring is exo to the six‐membered N‐heterocyclic ring formed in the cyclo­addition step. The torsion angles across the phenyl linkage for the two structures are −91.2 (1) and −88.3 (2)°. The striking feature in both crystal packings is that they do not contain the expected conventional hydrogen bonds, in spite of the presence of good hydrogen‐bonding functionalities. Possible C—H⋯π inter­actions are, however, observed.     

Imino Diels–Alder adducts. I. Two furo­[3,2‐c]­quinoline diastereoisomers

The structures of two diastereoisomers of 9‐chloro‐8‐fluoro‐4‐phenyl‐2,3,3a,4,5,9b‐hexa­hydro­furo­[3,2‐c]­quinoline, C₁₇H₁₅ClFNO, are very similar. The orientation of the furan ring, as a result of its fusion to the quinoline nucleus, constitutes the significant difference between the two structures. The dihedral angles between the furan and phenyl rings are 73.4 (1) and 63.8 (1)°.     

Azin­yl sulfides. LXXXI. 14‐Phen­yl‐7‐thia­pyrano[2,3‐c;6,5‐c′]diquinoline‐14‐carbonitrile

The mol­ecules of the title compound, C₂₆H₁₅N₃S, have a penta­cyclic ring system which is almost planar, with the central ring in a flattened boat conformation. The folding angle between the two quinoline rings is 6.75 (7)°. The 14‐phen­yl substituent is in a quasi‐axial conformation, while the 14‐cyano substituent is in a quasi‐equatorial conformation with respect to the thio­pyran ring. The S⋯C—C_phen­yl and S⋯C—C_CN angles are 116.8 (2) and 129.3 (2)°, respectively. The plane of the phen­yl group is nearly coplanar with the plane bis­ecting the dihedral angle of the penta­cyclic ring system.     

Cocrystals of diastereoisomers of 1,4‐dihydro­pyridine derivatives

A mixture of the RR/SS and RS/SR diastereoisomeric pairs of methyl 4‐(2,4‐dichloro­phen­yl)‐2,7‐dimethyl‐5‐oxo‐1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexa­hydro­quinoline‐3‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₉H₁₉Cl₂NO₃, forms cocrystals in which there is one unique mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, but the mol­ecule displays disorder in the region of the 7‐position of the quinoline ring system as a result of the random occurrence of the diastereoisomers at the same crystallographic site. A similar arrangement exists in the monohydrate cocrystals that form from a mixture of the RR/SS and RS/SR diastereoisomeric pairs of methyl 4‐(2,4‐dichloro­phen­yl)‐2‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐5‐oxo‐1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexa­hydro­quinoline‐3‐carboxyl­ate monohydrate, C₂₄H₂₁Cl₂NO₃·H₂O. These compounds belong to a class of 1,4‐dihydro­pyridines whose members have calcium modulatory properties. The 1,4‐dihydro­pyridine rings have the usual shallow boat conformation. In each structure, the 2,4‐dichloro­phenyl ring is oriented such that the 2‐chloro substituent is in a synperi­planar orientation with respect to the 1,4‐dihydro­pyridine ring plane. In each crystal structure, the mol­ecules are linked into chains by N—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions.     

Chalcone epoxide inter­mediates in the syntheses of lignin‐related phenyl­coumarans

Compounds (2R*,3S*)‐1‐(3,4‐dimethoxy­phen­yl)‐3‐{3‐meth­oxy‐2‐[(2R*)‐tetra­hydro­pyran‐2‐yl­oxy]phen­yl}‐2,3‐ep­oxy‐1‐propanone, C₂₃H₂₆O₇, (I), and trans‐1‐(3,4‐dimethoxy­phen­yl)‐3‐[3‐meth­oxy‐2‐(methoxy­methoxy)­phen­yl]‐2,3‐ep­oxy‐1‐propanone, C₂₀H₂₂O₇, (II), were obtained on epoxidation of chalcones. The stereochemistries of (I) and (II) were elucidated. In both compounds, the substituents on the oxirane ring are trans‐oriented. Compound (I) was obtained together with a diastereometric form that differs from (I) with respect to the configuration of the asymmetric C atom in the tetra­hydro­pyran group. The geometries of the substituted oxirane rings of (I) and (II) are very similar. The hydrogen‐bonding patterns, mediated via weak C—H⋯O inter­actions, differ considerably. The crystal structures of (I) and (II) are compared with those of related chalcone epoxides. The conversion of (I) and (II) into lignin‐related phenyl­coumarans is discussed.     

Two N‐substituted 3,5‐diphenyl‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thiocarboxamides

The structures of N‐ethyl‐3‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)‐5‐(4‐methoxy­phen­yl)‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thio­carboxamide, C₁₉H₂₀FN₃OS, (I), and 3‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)‐N‐methyl‐5‐(4‐methyl­phen­yl)‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thio­carboxamide, C₁₈H₁₈FN₃S, (II), have similar geometric parameters. The meth­oxy/methyl‐substituted phenyl groups are almost perpendicular to the pyrazoline (pyraz) ring [inter­planar angles of 89.29 (8) and 80.39 (10)° for (I) and (II), respectively], which is coplanar with the fluoro­phenyl ring [inter­planar angles of 5.72 (9) and 10.48 (10)°]. The pyrazoline ring approximates an envelope conformation in both structures, with the two‐coordinate N atom involved in an intra­molecular N—H⋯N_pyraz inter­action. In (I), N—H⋯O and C—H⋯S inter­molecular hydrogen bonds are the primary inter­actions, whereas in (II), there are no intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

10‐(4‐Fluorophenyl)‐3,3,6,6,9‐pentamethyl‐3,4,6,7,9,10‐hexahydroacridine‐1,8(2H,5H)‐dione and 10‐(4‐fluorophenyl)‐3,3,6,6‐tetramethyl‐9‐­propyl‐3,4,6,7,9,10‐hexahydroacridine‐1,8(2H,5H)‐dione

10‐(4‐Fluoro­phenyl)‐3,3,6,6,9‐penta­methyl‐3,4,6,7,9,10‐hexa­hydro­acridine‐1,8(2H,5H)‐dione, C₂₄H₂₈FNO₂, (I), crystallizes with two crystallographically independent mol­ecules (which differ slightly in conformation), while 10‐(4‐fluoro­phenyl)‐9‐propyl‐3,3,6,6‐tetra­methyl‐3,4,6,7,9,10‐hexa­hydro­acridine‐1,8(2H,5H)‐dione, C₂₆H₃₂FNO₂, (II), crystallizes with one mol­ecule per asymmetric unit. In both structures, the central ring in the acridine moiety is in a sofa conformation, while the outer rings adopt intermediate half‐chair/sofa conformations. The central pyridine ring is orthogonal to the substituted phenyl ring. In both structures, the packing of the crystal is stabilized by C—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

Chiral and meso‐bis([2.2]­para­cyclo­phan‐4‐yl)­methane and meso‐bis­([2.2]­para­cyclo­phan‐4‐yl) sulfide

The [2.2]­para­cyclo­phane groups of the title compounds, chiral and meso‐bis­(tri­cyclo­[8.2.2.2^4,7]­hexa­deca‐4,6,10,12,13,15‐hexa­en‐5‐yl)­methane (the former as a racemate), C₃₃H₃₂, and meso‐bis­(tri­cyclo­[8.2.2.2^4,7]­hexa­deca‐4,6,10,12,13,15‐hexa­en‐5‐yl) sulfide, C₃₂H₃₀S, show the characteristic structural features of the parent compound [2.2]­para­cyclo­phane and the related compound di­methylbis([2.2]­para­cyclo­phan‐4‐yl)­silane, C₃₄­H₃₆­Si: the aromatic rings are puckered, resulting in a boat conformation. The planes of the four coplanar C atoms are slightly twisted with respect to each other. The Csp³—Csp³ bond lengths of the ethyl­ene bridges are elongated by the electronic and steric effects of the skeleton.     

Four (E,Z,E)‐1‐(4‐alkoxy­phen­yl)‐6‐(4‐nitro­phen­yl)hexa‐1,3,5‐trienes

The crystal structures of the four E,Z,E isomers of 1‐(4‐alk­oxy­phen­yl)‐6‐(4‐nitro­phen­yl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene, namely (E,Z,E)‐1‐(4‐methoxy­phen­yl)‐6‐(4‐nitro­phen­yl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene, C₁₉H₁₇NO₃, (E,Z,E)‐1‐(4‐ethoxy­phen­yl)‐6‐(4‐nitro­phen­yl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene, C₂₀H₁₉NO₃, (E,Z,E)‐1‐(4‐nitro­phen­yl)‐6‐(4‐n‐propoxyphen­yl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene, C₂₁H₂₁NO₃, and (E,Z,E)‐1‐(4‐n‐butoxy­phen­yl)‐6‐(4‐nitro­phen­yl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene, C₂₂H₂₃NO₃, have been determined. Inter­molecular N⋯O dipole inter­actions between the nitro groups are observed for the meth­oxy derivative, while for the eth­oxy derivative, two adjacent mol­ecules are linked at both ends through N⋯O dipole–dipole inter­actions between the N atom of the nitro group and the O atom of the eth­oxy group to form a supra­molecular ring‐like structure. In the crystal structures of the n‐prop­oxy and n‐but­oxy derivatives, the shortest inter­molecular distances are those between the two O atoms of the alk­oxy groups. Thus, the nearest two mol­ecules form an S‐shaped supra­molecular dimer in these crystal structures.     

Two isomeric butadiene–N‐(acetoxy­phenyl)maleimide Diels–Alder adducts: supramolecular structure directed by C—H⋯X (X = O and π) hydrogen bonds and perpendicular dipole carbonyl–carbonyl inter­actions

The mol­ecular and supramolecular structures of 2‐(1,3‐dioxo‐2,3,3a,4,7,7a‐hexa­hydro‐1H‐isoindol‐2‐yl)phenyl acetate, C₁₆‐H₁₅NO₄, (I), and its para isomer, 4‐(1,3‐dioxo‐2,3,3a,4,7,7a‐hexa­hydro‐1H‐isoindol‐2‐yl)phenyl acetate, (II), are reported. The torsion angle between the succinimide and benzene rings depends on the position of the acet­oxy substitution [89.7 (1) and 61.9 (1)° for (I) and (II), respectively]. The twist of the acet­oxy group relative to the mean plane of the benzene ring is almost independent of the acet­oxy position [66.0 (1) and 70.0 (1)°]. Packing inter­actions for both compounds include soft C—H⋯X (X = O and Ph) inter­actions, forming chains of centrosymmetric dimers and inter­linked chains for (I) and (II), respectively. In addition, three perpendicular dipole C=O⋯C=O inter­actions contribute to the supramolecular structure of (II).     

Rotenone α‐oxime

The structure determination of the title compound, rotenone α‐oxime [systematic name: 1,2,12,12a‐tetra­hydro‐8,9‐di­meth­oxy‐2‐(1‐methyl­ethenyl)‐[1]­benzo­py­rano­[3,4‐b]­furo­[2,3‐h][1]benzo­pyran‐6(6H)‐one oxime], C₂₃H₂₃NO₆, confirms that the mol­ecule has an approximately V‐shaped structure. One of the rings has a typical cyclo­hexene‐like monoplanar conformation and the central ring adopts a 1,2‐diplanar conformation.     

Simvastatin

Simvastatin, or (1S,3R,7S,8S,8aR)‐8‐{2‐[(2R,4R)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐oxo‐3,4,5,6‐tetra­hydro‐2H‐pyran‐2‐yl]­ethyl}‐3,7‐di­methyl‐1,2,3,7,8,8a‐hexa­hydro­naphthalen‐1‐yl 2,2‐di­methyl­butan­oate, C₂₅H₃₈O₅, is almost isostructural with lovastatin, and the general conformational features are closely related to those of other reported crystal structures of statins. The only hydrogen bond present facilitates the formation of infinite chains of mol­ecules along the b axis.     

6‐Deoxy­jacareubin

The natural compound 5,10‐di­hydroxy‐2,2‐di­methylpyrano­[3,2‐b]­xanthen‐6(2H)‐one (6‐deoxy­jacareubin), C₁₈H₁₄O₅, was isolated from leaves of Vismia latifolia (Guttiferae family). The compound has four six‐membered rings. The mol­ecule has two planar benzeno­id and one planar pyran­oid ring, plus a pyran­oid ring in a distorted chair conformation. The crystal is stabilized by one intra‐ and one intermolecular hydrogen bond.     

Two key chiral intermediates in a new 4‐hydroxy­isoleucine synthesis

We present the crystal and molecular structure of two key compounds of a new synthesis strategy for isomers of natural (2S,3R,4S)‐4‐hydroxyisoleucines, 2,3,5,6,7,8‐hexa­hydro‐3‐(1‐hydroxy‐1‐methyl‐2‐oxo­propyl)‐6,8‐methano‐7,7,8a‐tri­meth­yl‐5H‐1,4‐benzoxazin‐2‐one, C₁₆H₂₃NO₄, and 2,3,5,6,7,8‐hexa­hydro‐3‐(1‐methyl‐2‐oxo­propyl)‐6,8‐methano‐7,7,8a‐tri­meth­yl‐5H‐1,4‐benzoxazin‐2‐one, C₁₆H₂₃NO₃. A new optically pure chiral oxazinone auxiliary derived from (1R,2R,5R)‐2‐hydroxy­pinan‐3‐one was used.     

Bergenin monohydrate from the rhizomae of Astilbe chinensis

The title compound, 4‐methoxy‐2‐[(1S,2R,3S,4S,5R)‐3,4,5,6‐tetrahydro‐3,4,5‐tri­hydroxy‐6‐(hydroxy­methyl)‐2H‐­pyran‐2‐yl]‐α‐resorcylic acid δ‐lactone monohydrate, C₁₄H₁₆O₉·H₂O, is a C‐glucoside of 4‐O‐methylgallic acid which has antiasthmatic, antitussive, anti‐inflammatory, antifungal, anti‐HIV and antihepatotoxic activity. The mol­ecule is composed of three six‐membered rings: an aromatic ring, a glucopyran­ose ring and an annellated δ‐lactone ring. The glucopyran­ose ring exhibits only small deviations from an ideal chair conformation. The annellated δ‐lactone ring possesses the expected half‐chair conformation. There is one intra‐ and six intermolecular hydrogen bonds which form an extensive hydrogen‐bonding network within the crystal.     

Oxythiamine hexafluorophosphate monohydrate,a thiamine antagonist with the same conformation as ­thiamine

In the title compound, 3‐[(3,4‐di­hydro‐2‐methyl‐4‐oxopyrimidin‐5‐yl)­methyl]‐5‐(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐4‐methyl­thia­zolium hexa­fluoro­phosphate monohydrate, C₁₂H₁₆N₃O₂S⁺·PF₆^?·H₂O, oxy­thi­amine is a monovalent cation with a neutral oxo­pyrimidine ring. The mol­ecule assumes the F conformation, which is a common form for thi­amine but which is substantially different from the unusual V conformation found in the chloride and hydro­chloride salts of oxy­thi­amine. The anion‐bridging interaction, C—H?anion?pyrimidine, is emphasized as being important for stabilization of the F conformation.     

(4R,4aR,6S,7S,7aS)‐6‐Hydro­xy‐7‐hy­droxy­methyl‐4‐methyl­per­hydro­cyclo­penta­[c]­pyran‐1‐one chloro­form solvate from Valeriana laxiflora

The structure of an iridolactone isolated from Valeriana laxiflora was established as (4R,4aR,6S,7S,7aS)‐6‐hydroxy‐7‐hydroxy­methyl‐4‐methyl­per­hydro­cyclo­penta­[c]­pyran‐1‐one chloro­form solvate, C₁₀H₁₆O₄·CHCl₃. The two rings are cis‐fused. The δ‐lactone ring adopts a slightly twisted half‐chair conformation with approximate planarity of the lactone group and the cyclo­pentane ring adopts an envelope conformation. The hydroxy group, the hydroxymethyl group and the methyl group all have β orientations. The absolute configuration was determined using anomalous dispersion data enhanced by the adventitious inclusion of a chloro­form solvent mol­ecule. Hydro­gen bonding, crystal packing and ring conformations are discussed in detail.     

Two intermediates in the synthesis of deca­hydro­iso­quinolines with NMDA and AMPA receptor antagonist activity

In 6‐methyl‐N‐(4‐nitro­benzoyl)‐5,6‐di­hydropyridin‐2(1H)‐one, C₁₃H₁₂N₂O₄, (I), the piperidone ring is in a distorted half‐chair conformation. In 8‐methoxy‐3‐methyl‐N‐(4‐nitro­benzoyl)‐1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐octa­hydro­iso­quinoline‐1,6‐dione, C₁₈H₂₀N₂O₆, (II), the heterocyclic ring is in a slightly distorted half‐boat conformation, while the other six‐membered ring is in a distorted chair conformation. Compound (II) presents a strong intramolecular C—H?O hydrogen bond. In both (I) and (II), the mol­ecules interact through C—H?O interactions.     

2‐(1,3‐Dithian‐2‐yl)benzaldehyde and N‐{2‐[2‐(1,3‐dioxan‐2‐yl)phenoxy]­ethyl}phthalimide

The crystal structures of two elaborated‐porphyrin precursors have been determined. In the crystalline state, 2‐(1,3‐di­thian‐2‐yl)­benz­aldehyde, C₁₁H₁₂OS₂, has its di­thiane ring in a slightly distorted chair conformation. The mol­ecules pack in anti‐parallel chains. N‐{2‐[2‐(1,3‐Dioxan‐2‐yl)­phenoxy]­ethyl}­phthal­imide, C₂₀H₁₉NO₅, is in a folded conformation. The dihedral angle between the phthal­imide and phenyl planes is 80.07 (3)°. In the crystalline states, mol­ecules stack on top of one another.     

5‐Phen­yl‐1,3,4‐thia­diazol‐2‐yl 2,3,4,6‐tetra­‐O‐acet­yl‐1‐thio‐β‐d‐glucopyran­oside

The structure of the title compound, C₂₂H₂₄N₂O₉S₂, is described. This compound consists of a sugar ring and a heterocyclic base linked unusually by an S atom. The sugar is in a ⁴C₁ chair conformation and forms dihedral angles of 49.54 (4) and 33.42 (5)° with the thia­diazole and phen­yl rings, respectively. The S atom occupies an equatorial position of the sugar ring and lies 1.807 (2) Å out of the corresponding mean plane.
