Rearrangement products of 3‐methane­sulfonyl‐N‐methyl‐N‐nitro­aniline

Two isomeric products (C₈H₁₀N₂O₄S) of the rearrangement of 3‐methane­sulfonyl‐N‐methyl‐N‐nitro­aniline have been investigated, viz. 3‐methane­sulfonyl‐N‐methyl‐2‐nitro­aniline, which was the main product of the rearrangement, and 5‐methane­sulfonyl‐N‐methyl‐2‐nitro­aniline. In both mol­ecules, the aromatic rings are appreciably deformed towards ortho‐quinonoidal geometry by electronic and steric interactions. The crystal structure is stabilized, in both cases, by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Hydro­gen bonding and C—H⃛O interactions in 4‐phenanthrenemethanol at 150 K

The title compound, C₁₅H₁₂O, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group I4₁/a with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. In the single hydrogen bond, the H atom is ordered, the O_D?O_A distance is 2.788 (1) Å and the O—H?O angle is 176 (1)°. Each hydroxyl group forms hydrogen bonds with two other hydroxyl groups and the resulting chains of interactions, in four non‐linked subsets of mol­ecules, propagate along [001]. The single leading intermolecular C—H?O interaction has an H?O distance of 2.81 Å and a C—H?O angle of 140°; the single leading intramolecular C—H?O interaction has an H?O distance of 2.24 Å and a C—H?O angle of 152°. The phenanthrene core is less nearly planar in this structure than in the room temperature structure of phenanthrene‐4‐carboxylic acid.

The title acid, C₁₉H₁₆O₂, crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group Pnna with three mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit (apparently the first reported instance of Z′ = 3 in this space group). Four intermolecular hydrogen bonds have O_D?O_A distances of 2.660 (2), 2.594 (2), 2.633 (2) and 2.646 (2) Å, and angles of 177 (2), 179 (2), 175 (2) and 175 (2)°. The four hydrogen bonds form two R(8) cyclic dimers, one about a twofold axis. Five leading intermolecular C—H?O interactions are present. Although first‐ and second‐level graph sets involving these nine interactions are dominated by finite patterns, a three‐dimensional network becomes evident upon analysis of higher‐level graphs. A number of intramolecular C—H?O interactions are also present.

The title compound, C₂H₇N₄O⁺·CH₄O₃P⁻·H₂O, crystallized with one carbamoyl­guanidinium cation, one methyl­phos­phonate anion and one water mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit.

Neighbouring ribbons are not directly connected via hydrogen bonding. The carbamoyl­guanidinium cations are linked to these ribbons by N—H⋯O bridges and build a slightly buckled layer structure, the interlayer distance being b/2.
