In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₅N₄O⁺·Cl⁻·1.5H₂O, one water site is fully ordered with unit occupancy while the other, which lies close to an inversion centre in the space group C2/c, has only 0.5 occupancy. The cation exhibits bond fixation in the fused carbocyclic ring and electronic polarization in the terminal heterocyclic ring. The components are linked into complex sheets by a combination of N—H...O, N—H...Cl, O—H...O, O—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.

(9E)‐9‐Benzylidene‐3‐methyl‐2‐methylsulfanyl‐5‐phenyl‐5,6,7,8,9,10‐hexahydropyrimido[4,5‐b]quinolin‐4(3H)‐one: polarized molecules within hydrogen‐bonded bilayers

The molecules of the title compound, C₂₆H₂₅N₃OS, which was prepared by means of an acid‐catalysed cyclocondensation reaction between a 6‐aminopyrimidinone and 2,6‐dibenzylidenecyclohexanone, exhibit a polarized electronic structure, namely (9E)‐9‐benzylidene‐3‐methyl‐2‐methylsulfanyl‐5‐phenyl‐3,5,6,7,8,9‐hexahydropyrimido[4,5‐b]quinolin‐10‐ium‐4‐olate, involving charge separation in the vinylogous amide portion.

In the title compound, C₈H₁₂N₆O₂, the molecular dimensions provide evidence for significant polarization of the electronic structure. There is an intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond, and the molecules are linked into complex sheets by a combination of two‐centre hydrogen bonds, one each of the N—H...N and N—H...O types, and a three‐centre N—H...(N,O) hydrogen bond.     

Three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework structures in flunarizinium nicotinate and flunarizinediium bis(4‐toluenesulfonate) dihydrate

The structures of two salts of flunarizine, namely 1‐bis[(4‐fluorophenyl)methyl]‐4‐[(2E)‐3‐phenylprop‐2‐en‐1‐yl]piperazine, C₂₆H₂₆F₂N₂, are reported. In flunarizinium nicotinate {systematic name: 4‐bis[(4‐fluorophenyl)methyl]‐1‐[(2E)‐3‐phenylprop‐2‐en‐1‐yl]piperazin‐1‐ium pyridine‐3‐carboxylate}, C₂₆H₂₇F₂N₂⁺·C₆H₄NO₂⁻, (I), the two ionic components are linked by a short charge‐assisted N—H...O hydrogen bond. The ion pairs are linked into a three‐dimensional framework structure by three independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds, augmented by C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds and an aromatic π–π stacking interaction. In flunarizinediium bis(4‐toluenesulfonate) dihydrate {systematic name: 1‐[bis(4‐fluorophenyl)methyl]‐4‐[(2E)‐3‐phenylprop‐2‐en‐1‐yl]piperazine‐1,4‐diium bis(4‐methylbenzenesulfonate) dihydrate}, C₂₆H₂₈F₂N₂²⁺·2C₇H₇O₃S⁻·2H₂O, (II), one of the anions is disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.832 (6) and 0.168 (6). The five independent components are linked into ribbons by two independent N—H...O hydrogen bonds and four independent O—H...O hydrogen bonds, and these ribbons are linked to form a three‐dimensional framework by two independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds, but C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions are absent from the structure of (II). Comparisons are made with some related structures.     

A chain of π‐stacked molecules in 4‐(2‐chlorophenyl)pyrrolo[1,2‐a]quinoxaline and a hydrogen‐bonded sheet in (4RS)‐4‐(1,3‐1,3‐benzodioxol‐6‐yl)‐4,5‐dihydropyrrolo[1,2‐a]quinoxaline

In the molecule of 4‐(2‐chlorophenyl)pyrrolo[1,2‐a]quinoxaline, C₁₇H₁₁ClN₂, (I), the bond lengths are consistent with electron delocalization in the two outer rings of the fused tricyclic system, with a localized double bond in the central ring. The molecules of (I) are linked into chains by a π–π stacking interaction. In (4RS)‐4‐(1,3‐benzodioxol‐6‐yl)‐4,5‐dihydropyrrolo[1,2‐a]quinoxaline, C₁₈H₁₄N₂O₂, (II), the central ring of the fused tricyclic system adopts a conformation intermediate between screw‐boat and half‐chair forms. A combination of N—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds links the molecules of (II) into a sheet. Comparisons are made with related compounds.     

Pseudomerohedral twinning,pseudosymmetry and complex hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 2‐methoxy‐4‐(pyrrolo[1,2‐a]quinoxalin‐4‐yl)phenol

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₄N₂O₂, crystallizes as a nonmerohedral twin, but the structure can be satisfactorily refined as a merohedral twin, in which a monoclinic unit cell with a cell angle β close to 90° emulates a metrically orthorhombic cell. The two molecules in the asymmetric unit are very similar in structure and they are related by an approximate pseudo‐screw axis. The molecules are linked into complex sheets by a combination of two O—H...N hydrogen bonds and four C—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

Novel Synthesis of 3‐Amino‐4‐oxo‐(2H)‐pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido‐[2,1‐b]benzothiazole and its 2‐ and 3‐Substituted Derivatives

Reaction of 4H‐pyrimido[2,1‐b]benzothiazole‐2‐thiomethyl‐3‐cyano‐4‐one (1) with hydrazine hydrate/aryl hydrazine/heteryl hydrazine in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate and dimethyl formamide afforded 3‐amino‐4‐oxo‐(2H)/aryl/heteryl pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1‐b]benzothiazoles in good yield. These pyrazole derivatives on diazotization followed by replacement with hydroxy, chloro, bromo, iodo and on reduction gave the corresponding 3‐substituted derivatives.

2‐Ethyl‐1‐[5‐(4‐methylphenyl)pyrazol‐3‐yl]‐3‐(thiophene‐2‐carbonyl)isothiourea: molecular ribbons containing three types of hydrogen‐bonded ring

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₈N₄OS₂, was prepared by reaction of S,S‐diethyl 2‐thenoylimidodithiocarbonate with 5‐amino‐3‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazole using microwave irradiation under solvent‐free conditions. In the molecule, the thiophene unit is disordered over two sets of atomic sites, with occupancies of 0.814 (4) and 0.186 (4), and the bonded distances provide evidence for polarization in the acylthiourea fragment and for aromatic type delocalization in the pyrazole ring. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond is present, forming an S(6) motif, and molecules are linked by N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form a ribbon in which centrosymmetric R₂²(4) rings, built from N—H...O hydrogen bonds and flanked by inversion‐related pairs of S(6) rings, alternate with centrosymmetric R₂²(6) rings built from N—H...N hydrogen bonds.

Synthesis of New Pyrano[2′,3′: 5,6]chromeno[4,3‐b]quinolin‐4‐ones via Aza‐DielsAlder Reaction

New pyrano[2′,3′: 5,6]chromeno[4,3‐b]quinolin‐4‐ones have been synthesized by intramolecular aza‐Diels? Alder reaction of the azadienes generated in situ from aryl amines and 8‐formyl‐7‐(prop‐2‐ynyl)2,3‐disubstituted chromones using CuFe₂O₄ nanoparticles as a catalyst in DMSO at 80–90° in good‐to‐excellent yields. Particularly valuable features of this methodology include simple implementation, inexpensive and reusable catalyst, and good yields. The structures were established by spectroscopic data and further confirmed by X‐ray diffraction analysis of one of the products.     

1‐Methyl‐1H‐imidazo[4,5‐f]quinolin‐6‐ium chloride monohydrate

The title compound, C₁₁H₁₀N₃⁺·Cl^?·H₂O, belongs to the N1‐methyl‐substituted imidazo­[4,5‐f]­quinoline family, in which the heterocyclic ring is protonated at the pyridine rather than at the imidazole N atom. The mol­ecule as a whole is almost exactly planar. The molecular structure has been compared with that of the 2‐amino analogue described in the literature, and it was found that the extra amino group of the latter is involved in conjugation with the adjacent double bond, i.e. the conjugation does not extend over the entire heterocyclic system. The cation of the title compound forms a strong hydrogen bond with the Cl^? anion and the anions are interconnected by the water solvent mol­ecule.     

5‐Amino‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐4‐carbaldehyde hemihydrate: a polarized electronic structure within hydrogen‐bonded sheets of R108(34) rings

In the title compound, C₁₁H₁₁N₃O·0.5H₂O, the water molecule lies across a twofold rotation axis in the space group Pbcn. The bond distances in the organic component provide evidence for polarization of the electronic structure. The molecular components are linked into puckered sheets of R₁₀⁸(34) rings by a combination of O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds; adjacent sheets are weakly linked by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction. Comparisons are made with some fused‐ring analogues.

Treatment of 16 with 2‐cyanoethanethioamide afforded [4‐(2‐amino‐4‐methylthiazol‐5‐yl) thiazol‐2‐yl] acetonitrile 22 . © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 11:362–369, 2000     

Synthesis,Characterization and Reactions of 4‐Hydrazino‐2‐methylpyrimidino[4′5′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazole

4‐Hydrazino‐2‐methylpyrimidino[4′,5′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazole ( 4 ) was obtained from hydrazinolysis of the 4‐chloro derivative 3 with hydrazine hydrate. The hydrazino derivative 4 was further cyclized to the corresponding pyrazole 5 , pyrazolone 6 and 5‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1″,5″:3′,4′]pyrimidino[5′,6′:5,4]‐thiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazole ( 9 ) and 5‐methy‐1,2,4‐triazolo[4″,3″:3′,4′]pyrimidino[5′,6′:5,4]thiazolo‐[3,2‐a]benzimidazole ( 10 ), respectively. The triazolo derivative 10 was isomerized to the triazolo derivative 9 under a variety of reaction conditions.     

10‐Ethyl‐3‐(4‐methoxy­phenyl)‐1,2,4‐triazolo­[4′,3′:2,3]‐1,2,4‐triazino[5,6‐b]­indole

Oxidative cyclization of 5‐ethyl‐3‐(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)­hydrazino‐1,2,4‐triazino­[5,6‐b]­indole gave the linearly annel­ated title compound, C₁₉H₁₆N₆O. The skeleton is approx­imately planar, except for the ethyl group.     

New 1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]pyridazine derivatives II

New tricyclic 1,2,3‐triazolo‐1,2,4‐triazolo‐pyridazine derivatives, bearing a methyl substituent on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, were prepared as potential biological agents. N‐Methylation of dimethyl 1,2,3‐triazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylate allowed synthesis of the isomeric 1‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy and 2‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy triazolo‐pyridazines 4a and 4b which, by a chlorination reaction, gave the corresponding 1‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐( 6a ), 1‐methyl‐7‐chloro‐ ( 6b ) and 2‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐ ( 9 ) substituted 1,2,3‐triazolo‐pyridazines. The nucle‐ophilic substitution with hydrazine hydrate and the suitable cyclization to form the 1,2,4‐triazole ring, provided the expected tricyclic isomeric derivatives 8a, 8b and 11 respectively. The p‐methoxybenzyl substituent, introduced as a leaving group to obtain either v‐triazolo‐pyridazine or v‐triazolo‐s‐triazolo‐pyri‐dazine derivatives unsubstituted on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, appeared inadequate. Some compounds underwent binding assays toward the adenosine A₁and A_2A receptors.
