Synthesis and Crystal Structures of 4-(3-Nitropyridin-2-ylamino)phenol and 4-(3-Aminopyridin-2-ylamino)phenol

Abstract  

The title compounds, 4-(3-nitropyridin-2-ylamino)phenol (I) and 4-(3-aminopyridin-2-ylamino)phenol (II), are two intermediates for the synthesis of a potential antitumor agent ABT-751. The reaction of 4-aminophenol with 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine yielded I which was converted into II by reduction. Instead of the Pd/C catalytic hydrogenation described in many literature, reduction with cheap sodium sulfide in aqueous media was utilized for shorting the reaction time and simplifying the operation. The crystal structures of the resultant compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound I is crystallized in P2₁/c space group of monoclinic system, with a = 11.5236(19) ?, b = 8.7389(17) ?, c = 10.684(3) ? and α = 90.00°, β = 107.76(3)°, γ = 90.00°. The compound II is crystallized in Cc space group of monoclinic system, with a = 10.688(2) ?, b = 14.2181(18) ?, c = 7.9836(15) ? and α = 90.00°, β = 125.801(7)°, γ = 90.00°. In both crystal structures, the intermolecular N–H–O and O–H–N hydrogen bonds link the molecules, which effectively stabilize the structures.

Orthorhombic Polymorphs of 1-Phenyl-3-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-Propen-1-One

Abstract  

Chalcones, 1,3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-ones, exist naturally and synthetically, and are characterized by the linkage of two aromatic rings joining a three carbon α-β-unsaturated carbonyl entity. We report the observation of two new polymorphs of a hydroxy chalcone, C₆H₅–CO–CH=CH–C₆H₄ (m-OH), identified as a result of a Claisen–Schmidt synthesis and manual screening technique. One polymorph of this compound has been reported previously and exists in the monoclinic system, space group P2/n, with unit cell parameters a = 13.295(6) ?, b = 5.659(2) ?, c = 16.144(8) ?, β = 109.73(5)°, V = 1143.3(9) ?³, and Z = 4. Two crystalline forms (II and III) reported herein, are polymorphs of the reported monoclinic form (I). Form II exists in the orthorhombic system, space group Pca2₁, with unit cell constants a = 11.631 (2) ?, b = 13.163 (3) ?, c = 7.3977 (14) ?, V = 1132.6 (4) ?³, and Z = 4. Form III also crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, however in space group Pbca, with unit cell parameters a = 11.8100(8) ?, b = 7.4075(5) ?, c = 25.8729(19) ?, V = 2263.4(3) ?³, and Z = 8. Variations in the hydrogen bonding connectivity help to distinguish these two forms from the monoclinic, whereas crystal packing differentiates the two orthorhombic forms. The conformation of the C=C (C2–C3) is E for both orthorhombic forms.
