The effect of bromine scanning around the phenyl group of 4‐phenylquinolone derivatives

Three quinolone compounds were synthesized and crystallized in an effort to study the structure–activity relationship of these calcium‐channel antagonists. In all three quinolones, viz. ethyl 4‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐2,7,7‐trimethyl‐5‐oxo‐1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexahydroquinoline‐3‐carboxylate, (I), ethyl 4‐(3‐bromophenyl)‐2,7,7‐trimethyl‐5‐oxo‐1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexahydroquinoline‐3‐carboxylate, (II), and ethyl 4‐(2‐bromophenyl)‐2,7,7‐trimethyl‐5‐oxo‐1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexahydroquinoline‐3‐carboxylate, (III), all C₂₁H₂₄BrNO₃, common structural features such as a flat boat conformation of the 1,4‐dihydropyridine (1,4‐DHP) ring, an envelope conformation of the fused cyclohexanone ring and a bromophenyl ring at the pseudo‐axial position and orthogonal to the 1,4‐DHP ring are retained. However, due to the different packing interactions in each compound, halogen bonds are observed in (I) and (III). Compound (III) crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. All of the prepared derivatives satisfy the basic structural requirements to possess moderate activity as calcium‐channel antagonists.     

Supramolecular architectures in cytosinium 6‐chloronicotinate monohydrate and 5‐bromo‐6‐methylisocytosinium hydrogen sulfate

Aminopyrimidine derivatives are biologically important as they are components of nucleic acids and drugs. The crystals of two new salts, namely cytosinium 6‐chloronicotinate monohydrate, C₄H₆N₃O⁺·C₆H₃ClNO₂⁻·H₂O, ( I ), and 5‐bromo‐6‐methylisocytosinium hydrogen sulfate (or 2‐amino‐5‐bromo‐4‐oxo‐6‐methylpyrimidinium hydrogen sulfate), C₅H₇BrN₃O⁺·HSO₄⁻, ( II ), have been prepared and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The pyrimidine ring of both compounds is protonated at the imine N atom. In hydrated salt ( I ), the primary R₂²(8) ring motif (supramolecular heterosynthon) is formed via a pair of N—H…O(carboxylate) hydrogen bonds. The cations, anions and water molecule are hydrogen bonded through N—H…O, N—H…N, O—H…O and C—H…O hydrogen bonds, forming R₂²(8), R₃²(7) and R₅⁵(21) motifs, leading to a hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular sheet structure. The supramolecular double sheet structure is formed via water–carboxylate O—H…O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions between the anions and the cations. In salt ( II ), the hydrogen sulfate ions are linked via O—H…O hydrogen bonds to generate zigzag chains. The aminopyrimidinium cations are embedded between these zigzag chains. Each hydrogen sulfate ion bridges two cations via pairs of N—H…O hydrogen bonds and vice versa, generating two R₂²(8) ring motifs (supramolecular heterosynthon). The cations also interact with one another via halogen–halogen (Br…Br) and halogen–oxygen (Br…O) interactions.     

2‐Ethyl‐6‐methylpyridin‐3‐ol and its salt bis(2‐ethyl‐3‐hydroxy‐6‐methylpyridinium) succinate

The title compounds, C₈H₁₁NO, (I), and 2C₈H₁₂NO⁺·C₄H₄O₄²⁻, (II), both crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. In the crystal structure of (I), intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds combine the molecules into polymeric chains extending along the c axis. The chains are linked by C—H...π interactions between the methylene H atoms and the pyridine rings into polymeric layers parallel to the ac plane. In the crystal structure of (II), the succinate anion lies on an inversion centre. Its carboxylate groups interact with the 2‐ethyl‐3‐hydroxy‐6‐methylpyridinium cations via intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds with the pyridine ring H atoms and O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the hydroxy H atoms to form polymeric chains, which extend along the [01] direction and comprise R₄⁴(18) hydrogen‐bonded ring motifs. These chains are linked to form a three‐dimensional network through nonclassical C—H...O hydrogen bonds between the pyridine ring H atoms and the hydroxy‐group O atoms of neighbouring cations. π–π interactions between the pyridine rings and C—H...π interactions between the methylene H atoms of the succinate anion and the pyridine rings are also present in this network.     

Three novel benzothiazine‐fused triazoles as potential centrally acting muscle relaxants

The structures of the novel triazolobenzothiazines 2,4‐dihydro‐1H‐benzo[b][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐d][1,4]thiazin‐1‐one (IDPH‐791), C₉H₇N₃OS, (I), a potential muscle relaxant, its benzoyl derivative, 2‐(2‐oxo‐2‐phenylethyl)‐2,4‐dihydro‐1H‐benzo[b][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐d][1,4]thiazin‐1‐one, C₂₀H₁₇N₃O₄S, (II), and the β‐keto ester derivative, ethyl 3‐oxo‐2‐(1‐oxo‐2,4‐dihydro‐1H‐benzo[b][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐d][1,4]thiazin‐2‐yl)‐3‐phenylpropanoate, C₁₇H₁₃N₃O₂S, (III), are the first examples of benzothiazine‐fused triazoles in the crystallographic literature. The heterocyclic thiazine rings in all three structures adopt a distorted half‐chair conformation. Compound (III) exists in the trans‐β‐diketo form. Other than N—H...O hydrogen bonds in (I) forming dimers, no formal intermolecular hydrogen bonds are involved in the crystal packing of any of the three structures, which is dominated by C—H...O/N and π–π stacking interactions.     

Racemic isopropyl 1,4‐dihydro‐2,6‐dimethyl‐4‐(6‐methyl‐2‐pyridyl)‐3‐nitropyridine‐5‐carboxylate hemi­benzene solvate

This analysis establishes the rotameric orientation of the pyridyl‐ring N atom of the title compound, C₁₇H₂₁N₃O₄·0.5C₆H₆, as antiperiplanar (ap) to the 1,4‐dihydropyridine H‐4, the absence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the 1,4‐dihydropyridine NH and the pyridyl‐N atom, and the unusual planarity of the 1,4‐dihydropyridine ring.     

Hydrogen‐bonded sheet structures in methyl 4‐(4‐chloroanilino)‐3‐nitrobenzoate and methyl 1‐benzyl‐2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐5‐carboxylate

In methyl 4‐(4‐chloroanilino)‐3‐nitrobenzoate, C₁₄H₁₁ClN₂O₄, (I), there is an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond and the intramolecular distances provide evidence for electronic polarization of the o‐quinonoid type. The molecules are linked into sheets built from N—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds, together with an aromatic π–π stacking interaction. The molecules of methyl 1‐benzyl‐2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐5‐carboxylate, C₂₂H₁₇ClN₂O₂, (II), are also linked into sheets, this time by a combination of C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions.     

Supramolecular aggregation in three 4‐aryl‐6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitriles

Both 6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitrile and 6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitrile crystallize from dimethylformamide solutions as stoichiometric 1:1 solvates, viz. C₂₉H₂₁N₅·C₃H₇NO, (I), and C₂₉H₂₁N₅O·C₃H₇NO, (II), respectively; however, 6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐4‐(3,4,5‐trimethoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitrile, C₃₁H₂₅N₅O₃, (III), crystallizes in the unsolvated form. The heterocyclic components of (I) are linked by C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form cyclic centrosymmetric dimers, from which the solvent molecules are pendent, linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In (II), the heterocyclic components are linked by a combination of C—H...N and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds into chains containing two types of centrosymmetric ring, and the pendent solvent molecules are linked to these chains by N—H...O hydrogen bonds. Molecules of (III) are linked into simple C(12) chains by an N—H...O hydrogen bond, and these chains are weakly linked into pairs by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction.     

Methyl 4‐(2‐chloro‐5‐nitro­phenyl)‐2,7,7‐tri­methyl‐5‐oxo‐1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexa­hydro­quinoline‐3‐carboxyl­ate

The title compound, C₂₀H₂₁ClN₂O₅, has potential calcium modulatory properties. The 1,4‐di­hydro­pyridine ring has the usual shallow boat conformation. The 2‐chloro‐5‐nitro­phenyl ring is oriented such that the chloro substituent is in a synperiplanar orientation with respect to the 1,4‐di­hydro­pyridine ring plane, while the nitro substituent sits over the 1,4‐di­hydro­pyridine ring. The cyclo­hexenone ring has a conformation that is approximately half‐way between that of an envelope and that of a half‐chair. The mol­ecules are linked into chains by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

Supramolecular architectures in the salt trimethoprimium ferrocene‐1‐carboxylate and the cocrystal 4‐amino‐5‐chloro‐2,6‐dimethylpyrimidine–ferrocene‐1‐carboxylic acid (1/1)

In the salt trimethoprimium ferrocenecarboxylate [systematic name: 2,4‐diamino‐5‐(3,4,5‐trimethoxybenzyl)pyrimidin‐1‐ium ferrocene‐1‐carboxylate], (C₁₄H₁₉N₄O₃)[Fe(C₅H₅)(C₆H₄O₂)], (I), of the antibacterial compound trimethoprim, the carboxylate group interacts with the protonated aminopyrimidine group of trimethoprim via two N—H…O hydrogen bonds, generating a robust R ₂²(8) ring motif (heterosynthon). However, in the cocrystal 4‐amino‐5‐chloro‐2,6‐dimethylpyrimidine–ferrocene‐1‐carboxylic acid (1/1), [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₆H₅O₂)]·C₆H₈ClN₃, (II), the carboxyl–aminopyrimidine interaction [R ₂²(8) motif] is absent. The carboxyl group interacts with the pyrimidine ring via a single O—H…N hydrogen bond. The pyrimidine rings, however, form base pairs via a pair of N—H…N hydrogen bonds, generating an R ₂²(8) supramolecular homosynthon. In salt (I), the unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ring is disordered over two positions, with a refined site‐occupation ratio of 0.573 (10):0.427 (10). In this study, the two five‐membered cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings of ferrocene are in a staggered conformation, as is evident from the C…Cg …Cg …C pseudo‐torsion angles, which are in the range 36.13–37.53° for (I) and 22.58–23.46° for (II). Regarding the Cp ring of the minor component in salt (I), the geometry of the ferrocene ring is in an eclipsed conformation, as is evident from the C…Cg …Cg …C pseudo‐torsion angles, which are in the range 79.26–80.94°. Both crystal structures are further stabilized by weak π–π interactions.     

(±)‐Methyl and (±)‐ethyl 4‐(2,3‐di­fluoro­phen­yl)‐2,6,6‐trimethyl‐5‐oxo‐1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexa­hydro­quinoline‐3‐carboxyl­ate

The title compounds, C₂₀H₂₁F₂NO₃ and C₂₁H₂₃F₂NO₃, respectively, belong to a class of 1,4‐dihydro­pyridines whose members sometimes display calcium modulatory properties. The 1,4‐dihydro­pyridine rings have the usual shallow boat conformation. In each structure, the 2,3‐difluoro­phenyl ring is oriented such that the fluoro substituents are in a synperi­planar orientation with respect to the 1,4‐dihydro­pyridine ring plane and the oxocyclo­hexene ring has a slightly distorted envelope conformation. Both structures exhibit the same inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding motif, in which the mol­ecules are linked into chains by inter­actions involving the carbonyl O atom of the oxocyclo­hexene ring.     

(6‐Oxido‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylato‐κ2O5,O6)bis[2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐κ2N2,N3]manganese(II) monohydrate

In the title compound, [Mn(C₅H₂N₂O₄)(C₁₂H₉N₃)₂]·H₂O, the Mn^II centre is surrounded by three bidentate chelating ligands, namely, one 6‐oxido‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylate (or uracil‐5‐carboxylate, Huca²⁻) ligand [Mn—O = 2.136 (2) and 2.156 (3) Å] and two 2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole (Hpybim) ligands [Mn—N = 2.213 (3)–2.331 (3) Å], and it displays a severely distorted octahedral geometry, with cis angles ranging from 73.05 (10) to 105.77 (10)°. Intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds both between the Hpybim and the Huca²⁻ ligands and between the Huca²⁻ ligands link the molecules into infinite chains. The lattice water molecule acts as a hydrogen‐bond donor to form double O...H—O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the Huca²⁻ O atoms, crosslinking the chains to afford an infinite two‐dimensional sheet; a third hydrogen bond (N—H...O) formed by the water molecule as a hydrogen‐bond acceptor and a Hpybim N atom further links these sheets to yield a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework. Possible partial π–π stacking interactions involving the Hpybim rings are also observed in the crystal structure.     

Hydrogen‐bonded bilayers in 7‐benzyl‐3‐tert‐butyl‐1‐phenyl‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro‐1H‐spiro[pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5,2′‐indan]‐1′,3′‐dione

In the title compound, C₃₁H₂₉N₃O₂, the reduced pyridine ring adopts a conformation intermediate between the envelope and half‐chair forms. The aryl rings of the benzyl and phenyl substituents are nearly parallel and overlap, indicative of an intramolecular π–π stacking interaction. A combination of two C—H...O hydrogen bonds and one C—H...N hydrogen bond links the molecules into a bilayer having tert‐butyl groups on both faces.<!?tpb=19.5pt>     

Statistically disordered short hydrogen bonds in (pipzH2)(cdoH)2 and a comparison with (pipzH2)(cdo)·H2O (pipz is piperazine and cdoH2 is chelidonic acid)

Two related proton‐transfer compounds, namely piperazine‐1,4‐diium 4‐oxo‐4H‐pyran‐2,6‐dicarboxylate monohydrate, C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺·C₇H₂O₆²⁻·H₂O or (pipzH₂)(cdo)·H₂O, (I), and piperazine‐1,4‐diium bis(6‐carboxy‐4‐oxo‐4H‐pyran‐2‐carboxylate), C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺·2C₇H₃O₆⁻ or (pipzH₂)(cdoH)₂, (II), were obtained by the reaction of 4‐oxo‐4H‐pyran‐2,6‐dicarboxylic acid (chelidonic acid, cdoH₂) and piperazine (pipz). In (I), both carboxyl H atoms of chelidonic acid have been transferred to piperazine to form the piperazine‐1,4‐diium ion. The structure is a monohydrate. All potential N—H donors are involved in N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The water molecule spans two anions via the 4‐oxo group of the pyranose ring and a carboxylate O atom. The hydrogen‐bonding motif is essentially two‐dimensional. The structure is a pseudomerohedral twin. In the asymmetric unit of (II), the anion consists of monodeprotonated chelidonic acid, while the piperazine‐1,4‐diium cation is located on an inversion centre. The single carboxyl H atom is disordered in two respects. Firstly, the disordered H atom is shared equally by both carboxylic acid groups. Secondly, the H atom is statistically disordered between two positions on either side of a centre of symmetry and is engaged in a very short hydrogen‐bonding interaction; the relevant O...O distances are 2.4549 (11) and 2.4395 (11) Å, and the O—H...O angles are 177 (6) and 177 (5)°, respectively. Further hydrogen bonding of the type N—H...O places the (pipzH₂)²⁺ cations in pockets formed by the chains of (cdoH)⁻ anions. In contrast with (I), the (pipzH₂)²⁺ cations form hydrogen‐bonding arrays that are perpendicular to the anions, yielding a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonding motif. The structures of both (I) and (II) also feature π–π stacking interactions between aromatic rings.     

5‐Hydroxyalkyl derivatives of tert‐butyl 2‐oxo‐2,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrole‐1‐carboxylate: diastereoselectivity of the Mukaiyama crossed‐aldol‐type reaction

The title compounds, rac‐(1′R,2R)‐tert‐butyl 2‐(1′‐hydroxyethyl)‐3‐(2‐nitrophenyl)‐5‐oxo‐2,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrole‐1‐carboxylate, C₁₇H₂₀N₂O₆, (I), rac‐(1′S,2R)‐tert‐butyl 2‐[1′‐hydroxy‐3′‐(methoxycarbonyl)propyl]‐3‐(2‐nitrophenyl)‐5‐oxo‐2,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrole‐1‐carboxylate, C₂₀H₂₄N₂O₈, (II), and rac‐(1′S,2R)‐tert‐butyl 2‐(4′‐bromo‐1′‐hydroxybutyl)‐5‐oxo‐2,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrole‐1‐carboxylate, C₁₃H₂₀BrNO₄, (III), are 5‐hydroxyalkyl derivatives of tert‐butyl 2‐oxo‐2,5‐dihydropyrrole‐1‐carboxylate. In all three compounds, the tert‐butoxycarbonyl (Boc) unit is orientated in the same manner with respect to the mean plane through the 2‐oxo‐2,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrole ring. The hydroxyl substituent at one of the newly created chiral centres, which have relative R,R stereochemistry, is trans with respect to the oxo group of the pyrrole ring in (I), synthesized using acetaldehyde. When a larger aldehyde was used, as in compounds (II) and (III), the hydroxyl substituent was found to be cis with respect to the oxo group of the pyrrole ring. Here, the relative stereochemistry of the newly created chiral centres is R,S. In compound (I), O—H...O hydrogen bonding leads to an interesting hexagonal arrangement of symmetry‐related molecules. In (II) and (III), the hydroxyl groups are involved in bifurcated O—H...O hydrogen bonds, and centrosymmetric hydrogen‐bonded dimers are formed. The Mukaiyama crossed‐aldol‐type reaction was successful when using the 2‐nitrophenyl‐substituted hydroxypyrrole, or the unsubstituted hydroxypyrrole, and boron trifluoride diethyl ether as catalyst. The synthetic procedure leads to a syn configuration of the two newly created chiral centres in all three compounds.     

4‐Amino‐5‐(2‐hydroxy‐4,4‐di­methyl‐6‐oxo­cyclo­hexenyl­methyl)‐1‐methyl‐2‐(methyl­sulfanyl)­pyrimidin‐6(1H)‐one: hydrogen‐bonded chains are π‐stacked in pairs

Molecules of the title compound, C₁₅H₂₁N₃O₃S, have a markedly polarized electronic structure; the carbocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation and the overall molecular conformation appears to be controlled by two intramolecular hydrogen bonds, one each of the O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O types. The mol­ecules are linked into C(6) chains by an intermol­ecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond, and pairs of these hydrogen‐bonded chains are linked by a π–π stacking interaction.     

mer‐Bis(1,4‐dibenzoylthiosemicarbazidato‐κ3O,N,O′)cobalt(II)

The title complex, [Co(C₁₅H₁₂N₃O₂S)₂], consists of an octahedrally coordinated Co^II ion, with two crystallographically independent 1,4‐dibenzoylthiosemicarbazidate ligands in a tridentate mer coordination [Co—O = 2.064 (3)–2.132 (3) Å and Co—N = 2.037 (3)–2.043 (3) Å]. There are intermolecular N—H...S hydrogen bonds involving one ligand and strong π–π stacking interactions involving the other ligand, resulting in a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework. The hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions, as well as different intramolecular aryl–benzamide H—C...H(—N) distances, give rise to a difference in conformation between the two ligands.     

An unusual conformation of gabapentin (Gpn) in Pyr‐Gpn‐NH‐NH‐Pyr stabilized by weak interactions

The crystal structure of N‐[(1‐{2‐oxo‐2‐[2‐(pyrazin‐2‐ylcarbonyl)hydrazin‐1‐yl]ethyl}cyclohexyl)methyl]pyrazine‐2‐carboxamide monohydrate (Pyr‐Gpn‐NN‐NH‐Pyr·H₂O), C₁₉H₂₃N₇O₃·H₂O, reveals an unusual trans–gauche (tg⁻) conformation for the gabapentin (Gpn) residue around the C^γ—C^β (θ₁) and C^β—C^α (θ₂) bonds. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds and weak C—H...O interactions. The packing of the molecules in the crystal lattice shows a network of strong N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds together with weak C—H...O and π–π inteactions.     

N‐Benzylnicotinamide and N‐benzyl‐1,4‐dihydronicotinamide: useful models for NAD+ and NADH

3‐Aminocarbonyl‐1‐benzylpyridinium bromide (N‐benzylnicotinamide, BNA), C₁₃H₁₃N₂O⁺·Br⁻, (I), and 1‐benzyl‐1,4‐dihydropyridine‐3‐carboxamide (N‐benzyl‐1,4‐dihydronicotinamide, rBNA), C₁₃H₁₄N₂O, (II), are valuable model compounds used to study the enzymatic cofactors NAD(P)⁺ and NAD(P)H. BNA was crystallized successfully and its structure determined for the first time, while a low‐temperature high‐resolution structure of rBNA was obtained. Together, these structures provide the most detailed view of the reactive portions of NAD(P)⁺ and NAD(P)H. The amide group in BNA is rotated 8.4 (4)° out of the plane of the pyridine ring, while the two rings display a dihedral angle of 70.48 (17)°. In the rBNA structure, the dihydropyridine ring is essentially planar, indicating significant delocalization of the formal double bonds, and the amide group is coplanar with the ring [dihedral angle = 4.35 (9)°]. This rBNA conformation may lower the transition‐state energy of an ene reaction between a substrate double bond and the dihydropyridine ring. The transition state would involve one atom of the double bond binding to the carbon ortho to both the ring N atom and the amide substituent of the dihydropyridine ring, while the other end of the double bond accepts an H atom from the methylene group para to the N atom.     

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.     

Supramolecular hydrogen‐bonding patterns in two cocrystals of the N(7)–H tautomeric form of N6‐benzoyladenine: N6‐benzoyladenine–3‐hydroxypyridinium‐2‐carboxylate (1/1) and N6‐benzoyladenine–DL‐tartaric acid (1/1)

Two novel cocrystals of the N(7)—H tautomeric form of N⁶‐benzoyladenine (BA), namely N⁶‐benzoyladenine–3‐hydroxypyridinium‐2‐carboxylate (3HPA) (1/1), C₁₂H₉N₅O·C₆H₅NO₃, (I), and N⁶‐benzoyladenine–DL‐tartaric acid (TA) (1/1), C₁₂H₉N₅O·C₄H₆O₆, (II), are reported. In both cocrystals, the N⁶‐benzoyladenine molecule exists as the N(7)—H tautomer, and this tautomeric form is stabilized by intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding between the benzoyl C=O group and the N(7)—H hydrogen on the Hoogsteen site of the purine ring, forming an S(7) motif. The dihedral angle between the adenine and phenyl planes is 0.94 (8)° in (I) and 9.77 (8)° in (II). In (I), the Watson–Crick face of BA (N6—H and N1; purine numbering) interacts with the carboxylate and phenol groups of 3HPA through N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, generating a ring‐motif heterosynthon [graph set R₂²(6)]. However, in (II), the Hoogsteen face of BA (benzoyl O atom and N7; purine numbering) interacts with TA (hydroxy and carbonyl O atoms) through N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a different heterosynthon [graph set R₂²(4)]. Both crystal structures are further stabilized by π–π stacking interactions.
