Three polymorphs of 4‐4′‐diiodobenzalazine,and 4‐chloro‐4′‐iodobenzalazine

Three polymorphs of 4,4′‐diiodobenzalazine (systematic name: 4‐iodobenzaldehyde azine), C₁₄H₁₀I₂N₂, have crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry. 4‐Chloro‐4′‐iodobenzalazine [systematic name: 1‐(4‐chlorobenzylidene)‐2‐(4‐iodobenzylidene)diazane], C₁₄H₁₀ClIN₂, has a partially disordered pseudocentrosymmetric packing and is not isostructural with any of the polymorphs of 4,4′‐diiodobenzalazine. All structures pack utilizing halogen–halogen interactions; some also have weak π (benzene ring) interactions. A comparison with previously published methylphenylketalazines (which differ by substitution of methyl for H at the azine C atoms) shows a fundamentally different geometry for these two classes, namely planar for the alazines and twisted for the ketalazines. Density functional theory calculations confirm that the difference is fundamental and not an artifact of packing forces.     

4‐Ethynyl‐4‐hydroxycyclohexan‐1‐one and 4‐ethynyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2,3,5,6‐tetramethylcyclohexa‐2,5‐dien‐1‐one

The title compounds, C₈H₁₀O₂, (I), and C₁₂H₁₄O₂, (II), occurred as by‐products in the controlled synthesis of a series of bis­(gem‐alkynols), prepared as part of an extensive study of synthon formation in simple gem‐alkynol derivatives. The two 4‐(gem‐alkynol)‐1‐ones crystallize in space group P2₁/c, (I) with Z′ = 1 and (II) with Z′ = 2. Both structures are dominated by O—H?O=C hydrogen bonds, which form simple chains in the cyclo­hexane derivative, (I), and centrosymmetric dimers, of both symmetry‐independent mol­ecules, in the cyclo­hexa‐2,5‐diene, (II). These strong synthons are further stabilized by C[triple‐bond]C—H?O=C, C_methylene—H?O(H) and C_methyl—H?O(H) interactions. The direct intermolecular interactions between donors and acceptors in the gem‐alkynol group, which characterize the bis­(gem‐alkynol) analogues of (I) and (II), are not present in the ketone derivatives studied here.     

(R)‐4‐(4‐Aminophenyl)‐2,2,4‐trimethylchroman and (S)‐4‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐2,2,4‐trimethylthiachroman

The title compounds, C₁₈H₂₁NO and C₁₈H₂₁NS, in their enantiomerically pure forms are isostructural with the enantiomerically pure 4‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,2,4‐trimethylchroman and 4‐(2,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐2,2,4‐trimethylchroman analogues and form extended linear chains via N—H...O or N—H...S hydrogen bonding along the [100] direction. The absolute configuration for both compounds was determined by anomalous dispersion methods with reference to both the Flack parameter and, for the light‐atom compound, Bayesian statistics on Bijvoet differences.     

Reactions of 2‐amino‐4h‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐one with 4‐oxo‐4h‐1‐benzopyran‐3‐carbaldehydes

The title aldehyde 1 reacts smoothly with the enamine moiety of 2 ‐aminochromone 2 to produce hitherto unreported 3‐(2‐hydroxybenzoyl)‐5H‐1‐benzopyrano[2,3‐b]pyridin‐5‐one (azaxanthone) 5 . This reaction has been extended for the synthesis of bisazaxanthone 9.     

New domino‐reaction for the synthesis of N4‐(5‐aryl‐1,3‐oxathiol‐2‐yliden)‐2‐phenylquinazolin‐4‐amines and 4‐[4‐aryl‐5‐(2‐phenylquinazolin‐4‐yl)‐1,3‐thiazol‐2‐yl]morpholine

The model morpholine‐1‐carbothioic acid (2‐phenyl‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐ylidene) amide (1) reacts with phenacyl bromides to afford N⁴‐(5‐aryl‐1,3‐oxathiol‐2‐yliden)‐2‐phenylquinazolin‐4‐amines (4) or N⁴‐(4,5‐diphenyl‐1,3‐oxathiol‐2‐yliden)‐2‐phenyl‐4‐aminoquinazoline ( 5 ) by a thermodynamically controlled reversible reaction favoring the enolate intermediate, while the 4‐[4‐aryl‐5‐(2‐phenylquinazolin‐4‐yl)‐1,3‐thiazol‐2‐yl]morpholine ( 8 ) was produced by a kinetically controlled reaction favoring the C‐anion intermediate. ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr, ir, mass spectroscopy and x‐ray identified compounds ( 4 ), ( 5 ) and ( 8 ).     

NMR studies on 1,2‐dihydro‐2‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐4‐[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐phenyl]‐(2H)phthalazin‐1‐one

An unsymmetrical heterocyclic diamine, 1,2‐dihydro‐2‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐4‐[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐phenyl]‐(2H)phthalazin‐1‐one, was synthesized. Its ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were completely assigned by utilizing the two‐dimensional heteronuclear ¹³C–¹H multiple‐bond coherence (HMBC) spectroscopy, and heteronuclear ¹³C–¹H one‐bond correlation spectroscopy, homonuclear shift correlation spectroscopy (H,H‐COSY) and rotating frame Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (ROESY). The structure of the compound was shown to be the phthalazinone rather than the phthalazine ether from cross peaks and chemical shifts of the protons. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

3,17‐Dioxoandrost‐4‐en‐4‐yl acetate

The title compound, C₂₁H₂₈O₄, has a 4‐acetoxy substituent positioned on the steroid α face. The six‐membered ring A assumes a conformation intermediate between 1α,2β‐half chair and 1α‐sofa. A long Csp³—Csp³ bond is observed in ring B and reproduced in quantum‐mechanical ab initio calculations of the isolated molecule using a molecular‐orbital Hartree–Fock method. Cohesion of the crystal can be attributed to van der Waals interactions and weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

4‐Aminopyridinium 4‐aminobenzoate dihydrate and 4‐aminopyridinium nicotinate

In the title compounds, 4‐aminopyridinium 4‐aminobenzoate dihydrate, C₇H₆NO₂⁻·C₅H₇N₂⁺·2H₂O, (I), and 4‐aminopyridinium nicotinate, C₅H₇N₂⁺·C₆H₄NO₂⁻, (II), the aromatic N atoms of the 4‐aminopyridinium cations are protonated. In (I), the asymmetric unit is composed of two 4‐aminopyridinium cations, two 4‐aminobenzoate anions and four water molecules, and the compound crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric space group. The two sets of independent molecules of (I) are related by a centre of symmetry which is not part of the space group. In (I), the protonated pyridinium ring H atoms are involved in bifurcated hydrogen bonding with carboxylate O atoms to form an R₁²(4) ring motif. The water molecules link the ions to form a two‐dimensional network along the (10) plane. In (II), an intramolecular bifurcated hydrogen bond generates an R₁²(4) ring motif and inter‐ion hydrogen bonding generates an R₄²(16) ring motif. The packing of adduct (II) is consolidated via N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form a two‐dimensional network along the (10) plane.     

4‐(4‐Chloro­phen­yl)‐3‐(4‐phenyl­pent‐4‐en­yloxy)‐1,3‐thia­zole‐2(3H)‐thione

The title compound, C₂₀H₁₈ClNOS₂, is a thia­zole‐derived thio­hydroxamic acid O‐ester. The value of Z′ is 3 and the asymmetric unit comprises three mol­ecules of identical helicity along the N—O bond. Two of these show an anti and the third a syn arrangement of substituents attached in positions 3 and 4 to the 1,3‐thia­zole nucleus.     

2‐Amino‐4‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐7,7‐dimethyl‐5‐oxo‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydro‐4H‐chromene‐3‐carbonitrile

The supramolecular structure of the title compound, C₁₈H₁₇ClN₂O₂, is determined by the intersection of two chains formed by N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a two‐dimensional sheet.     

基于1,2-二氢-2-(4-羧基苯基-4-[4-(4-羧基苯氧基)-3-甲基苯基](2H)二氮杂萘-1-酮的新型芳香聚酰胺的简易合成

A new monomer diacid, 1,2-dihydro-2-(4-carboxylphenyl)-4-[4-(4-carboxylphenoxy)-3-methylphenyl]phtha-lazin-1-one (3), was synthesized through the aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of a readily available unsymmetrical phthalazinone 1 bisphenol-like with p-chlorobenzonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylacetamide and alkaline hydrolysis. The diacid could be directly polymerized with various aromatic diamines 4a-4e using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents to give five new aromatic poly(ether amide)s 5a-5e containing the kink non-coplanar heterocyclic units with inherent viscosities of 1.30-1.54 dL/g.The polymers were readily soluble in a variety of solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethyl-acetamide (DMA), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), and even in m-cresol and pyridine (Py). The transparent, flexible and tough films could be formed by solution casting. The glass transition tem-peratures Tg were in the range of 286-317℃.     

3‐Benzyl‐2‐(4‐fluorophenyl)‐1,3‐thiazolidin‐4‐one

The title compound, C₁₆H₁₄FNOS, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group P2₁/c. In one of the two independent molecules, the heterocyclic ring is effectively planar, but in the other molecule this ring adopts an envelope conformation. The molecules are weakly linked by two C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form C₂²(14) chains. Comparisons are made with some symmetrically substituted 2‐aryl‐3‐benzyl‐1,3‐thiazolidin‐4‐ones.     

4‐Deoxy‐4‐fluoro‐β‐d‐glucopyranose

4‐Deoxy‐4‐fluoro‐β‐d ‐glucopyranose, C₆H₁₁FO₅, (I), crystallizes from water at room temperature in a slightly distorted ⁴C₁ chair conformation. The observed chair distortion differs from that observed in β‐d ‐glucopyranose [Kouwijzer, van Eijck, Kooijman & Kroon (1995). Acta Cryst. B 51 , 209–220], (II), with the former skewed toward a B^C3,O5 (boat) conformer and the latter toward an ^O5TB_C2 (twist–boat) conformer, based on Cremer–Pople analysis. The exocyclic hydroxymethyl group conformations in (I) and (II) are similar; in both cases, the O—C—C—O torsion angle is ∼−60° (gg conformer). Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the crystal structures of (I) and (II) is conserved in that identical patterns of donors and acceptors are observed for the exocyclic substituents and the ring O atom of each monosaccharide. Inspection of the crystal packing structures of (I) and (II) reveals an essentially identical packing configuration.     

2‐(4‐Methoxyphenyl­azo)‐4‐phenyl­phenol

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₉H₁₆N₂O₂, displays a trans configuration of the azo moiety, which forms an intramolecular O—H?N=N hydrogen bond. The H?N and O?N distances are 1.81 (3) and 2.581 (4) Å, respectively. The azo­benzene moiety is approximately planar, and has a dihedral angle of ca 23° with the substituted phenyl group.     

4‐(4‐Bromo­phenyl)‐2‐methyl‐1,3‐thia­zole

In the structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₈BrNS, the dihedral angles between the planes of the thia­zole and aryl rings, viz. 4.2 (6) and 7.5 (6)° for the two independent mol­ecules, are consistent with insignificant molecular perturbation by the weak intermolecular contacts. The mol­ecules are close to being related by a non‐crystallographic inversion centre, with C—H⃛π and π–π intermolecular interactions observed.     

Sulfenylation of heterocyclic 1,3‐dicarbonyl systems: 4‐Hydroxy‐2‐pyrones, 6‐hydroxy‐4‐pyrimidones, 4‐hydroxy‐2‐pyridones, 4‐hydroxy‐6‐pyridazinones,and 5‐hydroxy‐3‐pyrazolones

Anions of enolized heteroaromatic 1,3‐dicarbonyl systems, such as the title compounds 1, 9,14 , and 19 , react in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate with diaryl disulfides 2 to yield arylsulfenyl derivatives ( 3, 10, 15, 20 ). The arylthiolate anions 4 formed in this reaction can be oxidized by air to yield the starting disulfides 2 again. Tetraalkylthiuram disulfides 7 react in the same manner to yield dialkylaminothiocarbonylthio derivatives ( 8, 13, 18 ) of the title compounds. Oxidation of the arylsulfenyl derivatives with hydrogen peroxide in sodium hydroxide solution usually leads to sulfoxides ( 5, 11, 16 ), whereas oxidation with peracetic acid affords sulfones ( 6, 12, 17 ).     

5‐Acetyl‐2‐amino‐6‐methyl‐4‐(3‐nitrophenyl)‐4H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile and 2‐amino‐5‐ethoxycarbonyl‐6‐methyl‐4‐(3‐nitrophenyl)‐4H‐pyrano‐3‐carbonitrile

The structures of the title compounds, C₁₅H₁₃N₃O₄, (I), and C₁₆H₁₅N₃O₅ [IUPAC name: ethyl 6‐amino‐5‐cyano‐2‐methyl‐4‐(3‐nitro­phenyl)‐4H‐pyrano‐3‐carboxyl­ate], (II), are very similar, with the heterocyclic rings adopting boat conformations. The pseudo‐axial m‐nitro­phenyl substituents are rotated by 84.0 (1) and 98.7 (1)° in (I) and (II), respectively, with respect to the four coplanar atoms of the boat. The dihedral angles between the phenyl rings and nitro groups are 12.1 (2) and 8.4 (2)° in (I) and (II), respectively. The two compounds have similar patterns of intermolecular N—H?O and N—H?N hydrogen bonding, which link mol­ecules into infinite tapes along b .     

Synthesis of 3‐(Pyridin‐4‐Ylmethyl)‐4‐Substituted‐1,2,4‐Triazoline‐5‐Thione

The reaction of the hydrazide of pyridine‐4‐acetic acid with isothiocyanate gave thiosemicarbazide derivatives respectively. Further cyclization with 2% NaOH led to the formation of 4‐substituted 3‐(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazoline‐5‐thione and 3‐(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazoline‐5‐thione. The structures of all new products were confirmed by analytical and spectroscopic methods.     

4‐(3,17‐Dioxoandrost‐4‐en‐16‐ylidenemethyl)benzonitrile

The title compound, C₂₇H₂₉NO₂, has the outer six‐membered ring in a sofa conformation, while the central rings are in chair conformations. The five‐membered ring adopts a slightly distorted 13β,14α‐half‐chair conformation. The cyano­benzyl­idene moiety has an E configuration with respect to the carbonyl group at position 17.
