A structural investigation of ethyl 3′-methyl-6-methoxy-5′-oxo-1,2-cyclopent-3′-enonaphthalene-4′-acetate,C19H18O4

Structure of 2,2′-anhydro-3′-O-acetyl-2′thio-1-β-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine hydrochloride1

2,2-Anhydro-3-O-acetyl-2-thio-1--D-arabinofuranosylcytosine hydrochloride crystallizes in space group P2₁2₁2₁ witha=10.373(1),b=14.517(2),c=9.496(1) Å. Reflections were measured on a diffractometer and the structure was solved by direct methods. Least-squares refinement converged atR=0.056 andR _w =0.063. The study of this crystal structure showed that the alterations in the geometry of 2,2-anhydro-1--D-arabinofuranosylcytosine when the bridge oxygen is replaced by sulfur are localized in the region of the fused ring. The angle at the bridge atom decreases to nearly 90°, with concomitant enlargements of about 5°–7° in the angles opposite to the bridge atom. Angle C(1)-N(1)-C(6) decreases by 4°. Also, the amount of double bond character in the bond formed by C(2) and the bridge atom decreases. A survey of the conformational features of S,2-cyclonucleosides and comparison with O,2-cyclonucleosidcs showed that their preferred conformations are the same. However, S,2-cyclonucleosides exhibit a wider range of P and values. This correlates with a greater ease of the sulfur containing five-membered ring to pucker as compared to the oxygen-cyclo ring.This paper is part of the authors' dissertation (Vitali, 1986).     

Three-dimensional structure of thymidine phosphorylase from E. coli in complex with 3′-azido-2′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridine

The three-dimensional structures of thymidine phosphorylase from E. coli containing the bound sulfate ion in the phosphate-binding site and of the complex of thymidine phosphorylase with sulfate in the phosphate-binding site and the inhibitor 3′-azido-2′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridine (N₃F-ddU) in the nucleoside-binding site were determined at 1.55 and 1.50 Å resolution, respectively. The amino-acid residues involved in the ligand binding and the hydrogen-bond network in the active site occupied by a large number of bound water molecules are described. A comparison of the structure of thymidine phosphorylase in complex with N₃F-ddU with the structure of pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase from St. Aureus in complex with the natural substrate thymidine (PDB_ID: 3H5Q) shows that the substrate and the inhibitor in the nucleoside-binding pocket have different orientations. It is suggested that the position of N₃F-ddU can be influenced by the presence of the azido group, which prefers a hydrophobic environment. In both structures, the active sites of the subunits are in the open conformation.

New Series of Biforked Mesogens Derived from 3,4-Dialkoxycinnamic Acid and 3-(3′4′-Dialkoxyphenyl)Propanoic Acid

Four series of biforked or polycatenar mesogens derived from 3,4-dialkoxycinnamic or 3-(3′,4′-dialkoxyphenyl)propanoic acids are described. These derivatives exhibit an extremely complex polymorphism including lamellar and columnar mesophases as well as nematic and cubic and some unidentified phases. X-Ray measurements have given the first evidence for a thermotropic rhombohedral mesophase. The relationships between the polymorphism and molecular structure are discussed.     

Ground state structures of molecules “prepared” for phototautomerization: 2,2′-bipyridyl-3,3′-diol and 2,2′-bipyridyl-3-ol

The crystal structures of two molecules undergoing fast intramolecular excited state proton transfer (2,2-bipyridyl-3,3-diol, BP(OH)₂, and 2,2-bipyridyl-3-ol, BP(OH)) are reported and compared with the results ofab initio and molecular mechanics calculations.

PL Quenching of Poly(3-hexylthiophene) by 2,2′,7,7′-Tetradiphenylamino-9,9′-Bifluorenylidene

2,2′,7,7′-Tetradiphenylamino-9,9′-bifluorenylidene, TDPABF, was synthesized by reductive dimerization using Lawesson's reagent. It is soluble in common organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, and 1,2-dichlorobenzene. Its synthesis was confirmed by ¹H-, ¹³C- NMR, MALDI-TOF, and FT-IR spectroscopy. Its HOMO and LUMO energy levels were –5.33 eV and –2.98 eV, respectively, using photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-Vis absorption spectra. Its fluorescence quenching properties were investigated through a Stern-Volmer quenching experiment. The PL intensity significantly decreased on increasing the concentration of TDPABF in a P3HT chloroform solution. The calculated Stern-Volmer quenching constant was 9.1 × 10⁴ M^?1, which is higher than that reported for PC₆₁BM.

Crystal Structure of 3-Hydroxy-3′,4′-Methylenedioxy Flavone-6-Carboxylic Acid Dimethylformamide Solvate

Abstract  

The optically pure 3-hydroxy-3′,4′-methylenedioxy flavone-6-carboxylic acid was obtained through the chalcone route. The structure of 3-hydroxy-3′,4′-methylenedioxy flavone-6-carboxylic acid was first elucidated by single crystal X-ray analysis: triclinic, space group, triclinic (P-1) with a = 8.1379(13) ?, b = 8.9831(14) ?, c = 13.198(2) ?, α = 88.413(2)°, β = 74.908(2)°, γ = 72.987(2)°. V = 889.5(2) ?³, Z = 2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to a final R = 0.0413 for 1630 reflections with I > 2σ(I). The crystal structure is stabilized by O–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bondings and π–π stacking interactions.     

A novel class of naturally occurring halogenated pyrroles, 1,1′-dimethyl-3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexabromo-2,2′-bipyrrole, 5,5′-dichloro-1,1′-dimethyl-3,3′,4,4′-tetrabromo-2,2′-bipyrrole, and 1,1′-dimethyl-3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachloro-2,2′-bipyrrole

Crystal structure determinations of the three title hexahalogenated bipyrroles, (I) C₁₀H₆Br₆N₂, (II) C₁₀H₆Br₄Cl₂N₂, and (III) C₁₀H₆Cl₆N₂, reveal essentially planar pyrrole rings having dihedral angles of 64.7, 65.1, and 64.2° between the least-squares planes, favoring in each case a closer methyl–halogen conformation. All three complexes crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with the following cell dimensions: (I) a = 12.654(3) Å, b = 8.853(2) Å, c = 13.753(3) Å, = = = 90°, Z = 4; (II) a = 12.438(6) Å, b = 8.753(6) Å, c = 13.696(3) Å, = = = 90°, Z = 4; (III) a = 12.088(6) Å, b = 8.566(4) Å, c = 13.486(8) Å, = = = 90°, Z = 4.

Synthesis and Some Properties of 3-Fluoro-4-Cyanophenyl 4′-n-alkylbenzoates

A series of 3-fluoro-4-cyanophenyl 4′-n-alkylbenzoates, which show monotropic nematic phases, was prepared and their transition temperatures and melting enthalpies were measured. The 3-fluoro-4-cyanophenyl 4′-n-propylbenzoate, 3-chloro-4-cyanophenyl 4′-n-propylbenzoate and 4-cyanophenyl 4′-n-propylbenzoate were mixed with a nematic mixture (A) of 4-n-alkoxyphenyl 4′-n-alkylcyclohexane-1′-carboxylates. 3-Fluoro-4-cyanophenyl 4′-n-propylbenzoate decreases the N-1 transition temperature less, increases the birefringence more, and increases the bulk viscosity less than 3-chloro-4-cyanophenyl 4′-n-propylbenzoate, and reduces the threshold voltage to the greatest extent. The dielectric anisotropies of 3-fluoro-4-cyanophenyl 4′-n-propylbenzoate and 4-cyanophenyl 4′-n-propylbenzoate determined from a series of solutions of the compounds in nematic mixture (A) are 35.9 and 29.6, respectively.
