Abstract The crystal structures of methyl 4-{(E)-2-(4-methylpiperazino)-1-diazenyl}benzoate (2a) and 1,4-di[(E)-2-(2-nitrophenyl)-1-diazenyl]piperazine (3a) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene (3a) adopts an unusual pseudo-boat conformation in the piperazine ring, with a dihedral angle of 52.20(0.06)° between the two planes defined within the piperazine ring. The crystal structures of 2a and 3a are compared with the structure of the triazene (4) and the closely related bis-triazene (5). The piperazine ring of 2a adopts a typical chair conformation, whereas the piperazine ring of 3a adopts an unusual boat conformation. Crystal data: 2a C₁₃H₁₈N₄O₂, monoclinic, space group P2₁ /n, a = 13.849(3) ?, b = 6.577(1) ?, c = 14.904(3) ?, α = 90°, β = 96.098(3)°, γ = 90° and V = 1,349.8(4) ?³, for Z = 4. 3a C₁₆H₁₆N₈O₄, triclinic, space group P-1, a = 7.6066(6) ?, b = 8.3741(7) ?, c = 14.507(1) ?, α = 78.673(1)°, β = 81.877(1)°, γ = 73.445(1)° and V = 865.0(1) ?³, for Z = 2.

4-(E)-2-[3-(3-[(E)-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-1-diazenyl]perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-ylmethyl)perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-yl]-1-diazenylbenzonitrile: X-ray crystal structure

4-(E)-2-[3-(3-[(E)-2-(4-Cyanophenyl)-1-diazenyl]perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-ylmethyl) perhydrobenzo[d]imidazol-1-yl]-1-diazenylbenzonitrile (1) has been synthesized by reac- tion of p-cyanobenzene diazonium chloride with a mixture of formaldehyde and trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine. The crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene (1) does not adopt a folded conformation, unlike previously studied ethylenediamine analogues, and there is no indication of -stacking in the crystal packing. The dominant interaction between molecules is the van der Waal's attraction between cyclohexane rings. This result establishes the structure of the product of this diazonium coupling reaction as the 1-(1-imidazolidinylmethyl)imidazolidine derivative and not the alternate tetraazabicyclo[4.4.1]undecane derivative.

The product has been characterized by IR and NMRspectroscopy and elemental analysis. A crystal grown from solution ina mixed solvent system of ethyl acetate and hexanes was analyzed byX-ray crystallography. The solution of the crystal structure of(1) is important in establishing theconnectivity of this molecule and other compounds of similarstructure. The crystal structure of (1) is compared with the previously reportedstructure of the p-cyano analogue(2).

The conjugation is greater in (2) due to the extended conjugation through tothe nitrile group.

2-(1-Methyl-1H-indol-3-ylmethylene)-1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2] octan-3-one: Acid-catalyzed isomerization of the Z isomer to the E isomer

Crystals of (Z)-2-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-ylmethylene)-1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-one (I) were obtained from a condensation reaction of 1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde with 1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-one and subsequent crystallization of the product from methanol. The isomeric (E)-2-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-ylmethylene)-1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2] octan-3-one hydrochloride (II) was obtained by treating a methanolic solution of I with a 1M solution of hydrogen chloride diethyl ether, followed by crystallization of resultant product from methanol. Crystal data: I, is monoclinic, P2₁, a = 5.7440(10), b = 11.102(2), c = 10.708(2) Å, = 91.751(10)°, and V = 682.5(2) ų with Z = 2, for D _cal= 1.296 mg/m³ and II, is monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 8.8510(2), b = 17.4990(5), c = 20.4300(5) Å, = 101.3620(12)°, V = 3102.26(14) with Z = 8, for D _cal= 1.316 mg/m³.

The crystal and molecular structure of 1,3-di-2-[(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-diazenyl]imidazolidine (1) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. This novel bis-triazene assumes a close-to planar structure with the aryltriazene moieties aligned in diametrically opposed directions, unlike many other previously reported bis-triazenes, which assume a folded structure. The structure of 1 is compared with the closely related, non-cyclic bis-triazene analogue (2), and also compared with the structure of the simple mono-triazene (3). Crystal data: 1 C₁₇H₂₀N₆O₂, monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 34.948(3), b = 5.925(5), c = 8.1225(6) Å, = 100.8420(10)°, and V = 1652.0(2) ų, for Z = 4.     

Structure of 4,6-dimethylisothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3(2H)-one and its 2-[4-(2-methylphenyl) piperazin-1-ylmethyl] derivative

The crystal and molecular structures of 4,6-dimethylisothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3(2H)-one, C₈H₈N₂OS, 1, and its 2-[4-(2-methylphenyl)piperazin-1-ylmethyl] derivative, C₂₀H₂₄N₄OS, 2c, are described. These compounds crystallize in the monoclinic system in the space group P2 ₁/c. The cell constants for compound 1 are a = 5.049(1), b = 14.897(1), c = 11.330(1) Å, = 98.07(1)°, Z = 4, T = 293 K, and D _cal = 1.419 g cm^–3, and for compound 2c are a = 15.525(1), b = 12.021(1), c = 10.911(1) Å, = 106.42(1)°, Z = 4, T = 293 K, and D _cal = 1.253 g cm^–3 The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to R values of 0.0411 and 0.0380 for 1640 and 3504 reflections for 1 and 2c, respectively. The analysis of the geometry and difference electron density map reveal that the dimethylisothiazolopyridine 1 exists in the amino tautomeric form in the crystalline state. The conformation of the o-methylphenylpiperazine part of the molecule 2c strongly depends on the substituents effect in the phenyl ring and is very similar to those observed in crystals for other investigated arylopiperazine derivatives of the isothiazolopyridine.

Compound 9 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2 ₁ 2 ₁ 2 ₁ with cell parameters of a = 6.85340(10) ?, b = 9.8732(2) ?, c = 27.5407(6) ?, V = 1863.54(6) ?³ and Z = 4. In the crystal structure adjacent molecules are linked by N–H···O=C hydrogen bonds. Compound 10·2HCl crystallizes as the corresponding monohydrate in the monoclinic space group P2 ₁/n with cell parameters of a = 7.1540(17) ?, b = 39.763(12) ?, c = 8.163(3) ?, β = 91.062(7)°, V = 2321.7(11) ?³ and Z = 4.

Methyl 4-((E)-2-{3-[(3-{ (E)-2-[4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]- 1-diazenyl}-5,5-dimethylhexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl)methyl]-5,5-dimethylhexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl-1-diazenyl) benzoate. X-ray crystal structure

Methyl 4-((E)-2-{3-[(3-{(E)-2-[4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-1-diazenyl}-5, 5-dimethyl hexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl)methyl]-5, 5- dimethylhexahydro-1- pyrimidinyl}-1- diazenyl) benzoate (1) has been synthesized by reaction of a mixture of formaldehyde and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine with p-methoxycarbonylbenzenediazonium chloride. The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals of 1 displayed problems of disorder; the asymmetric unit is built up by two independent molecules, which display disorder within a methoxycarbonyl group. The two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit are very similar, differing only slightly about the mutual orientation of the aryltriazenyl groups. With respect to the N–C–N bridge between the hexahydropyrimidinyl rings, the two equivalent fragments containing the triazene moieties are in a cis orientation. The N–N single bonds, in the range 1.319(4)–1.348(4) Å, and the N=N double bonds, in the range 1.255(5)–1.275(4) Å, indicate significant conjugations within the triazene moieties. All the hexahydropyrimidine six-membered rings adopt a chair conformation as shown by their puckering parameters. The crystal packing is determined only by simple van der Waals interactions. The crystal structure of 1 is compared with the previously reported structure of the unbranched hexahydropyrimidine analogue 2. Crystal data: 1 C29H40N8O4, triclinic, space group P-1, a = 13.9652(2), b = 14.2908(3), c = 16.6129(4) Å, = 97.279(1), = 90.872(1), = 107.385(1), V = 3133.6(1) ų, for Z = 4.

The first titled compound, 1, was obtained by treating [Ru(bpy)(η²-tpy)(CO)CH₂OH]PF₆ with acetic anhydride. Heating 1 in acetonitrile afforded 2, [Ru((η³-tpy)(MeCN)(CO) CH₂OAc]PF₆. Allowing 2 to stand in CH₂Cl₂ followed by concentration and precipitation afforded the second titled compound, 3 ([Ru((η³-tpy)(CO)–CH₂OAc]PF₆), in which the acetoxymethyl group had become bidentate.

4-(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-2-[3-(3-[(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-1-diazenyl]hexahydro-1-pyrimidinylmethyl)hexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl]-1diazenylbenzonitrile: X-ray crystal structure

4-(E)-2-[3-(3-[(E)-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-1-diazenyl]hexahydro-1-pyrimidinylmethyl)hexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl]-1-diazenylbenzonitrile (1) has been synthesized by reaction of p-cyanobenzene diazonium chloride with a mixture of formaldehyde and 1,3-propanediamine. The crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene (1) adopts a folded conformation, similar to previously studied ethylenediamine analogues, and there is evidence of -stacking in the crystal packing. The two planar phenyltriazenyl groups are almost parallel, forming an angle of 6.6(1), and display weak intermolecular s interactions between molecules. This result establishes the structure of the product of this diazonium coupling reaction as the 1-(1-hexahydropyimidinylmethyl)hexahydropyrimidine derivative and not the alternate tetraazabicyclo[5.5.1]tridecane derivative. Crystal data: 1C₂₃H₂₆N₁₀, monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 10.717(1) Å, b = 7.749(1) Å, c = 28.252(2) Å, = 97.223(2), V = 2327.5(5) ų, for Z = 4.

Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with a = 10.496(2), b = 19.113(3), c = 8.586(2) ?, β = 105.186(10)°. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 16.606(3), b = 7.357(2), c = 26.043(5) ?, β = 94.996(2)°. The Cu atom in each complex is five-coordinate in a square pyramidal geometry.     

Crystal structures of difluoro[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanalato]boron(III), [BF2(C16H13O3)], and bis[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanalato]copper(II), [Cu(C16H13O3)2]

The crystal structures of difluoro[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanalato]boron(III), [BF₂(C₁₆H₁₃O₃)], and bis[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanalato]copper(II), [Cu(C₁₆H₁₃O₃)₂], have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The structures were solved by direct methods and electron density calculations and were refined by the full-matrix least-squares method. Difluoro[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanalato]-boron(III) crystallizes as yellow rhombs in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c witha=11.429(3),b=11.364(4),c=11.412(4) Å,=92.19(2)°,V=1481.0(8) ų andZ=4. A total of 2754 unique reflections were collected. Of these 1342 were considered observed [I>3(I)] leading to a finalR-value of 0.045. Boron is tetrahedrally coordinated to the two fluorine atoms and to two oxygen atoms of the bidentate 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanalato ligand, C₁₆H₁₃O ₃ ^– . Average bond distances: C-C (aromatic) 1.378(10) Å, B-O 1.473(7) Å and B-F 1.343(4) Å. bis[2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanalato]copper(II) crystallizes as dark yellow-green plates in the monoclinic space groupC2/c witha=23.410(7),b=13.856(3),c=8.039(3) Å,=101.79(2)°,V=2553(1) ų andZ=4. Of the unique set of 3076 scanned reflections 2401 hadI>3(I) for whichR became 0.040. Copper is coordinated to four oxygen atoms, two from each of the two bidentate 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanalato ligands, in a distorted square planar manner. The molecule hasC ₂ symmetry. Average bond distances: C-C (aromatic) 1.383(6) Å and Cu-O 1.896(8) Å. The crystals of both compounds consist of monomeric molecular complexes held together by van der Waals forces.
