(R)‐4‐(4‐Fluoro­phenyl)‐1‐[2‐hydroxy‐2‐(3‐methyl‐1‐benzo­furan‐2‐yl)­ethyl]­piperazinium chloride propan‐1‐ol solvate

The title compound, C₂₁H₂₄FN₂O₂⁺·Cl⁻·C₃H₈O, is a potential drug designed as a hybrid compound with antihypertensive, antioxidant and β‐adrenolytic activity. The cation contains nearly planar benzo­furan and fluoro­phenyl ring systems, as well as a piperazine ring adopting an almost perfect chair conformation. The benzo­furan and piperazine moieties are connected by an ethyl chain, the moieties forming a dihedral angle of 163.12 (13)°. In the crystal structure, ions and propanol solvent mol­ecules are linked via N—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯Cl bonds into linear (010) chains.     

A novel class of fused heterocycles,benzo­[b]­furo­[2,3‐c]­pyrroles

In the isomeric compounds 2‐benzyl‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl­benzo­[b]­furo­[2,3‐c]­pyrrole and 2‐benzyl‐1‐methyl‐3‐phenyl­benzo­[b]­furo­[2,3‐c]­pyrrole, both C₂₄H₁₉NO, the pyrrole ring, although presumably somewhat strained, does not differ appreciably from N‐methyl­pyrrole except for a relatively short C—C single bond in the pyrrole ring.     

2,5‐Bis(methylthio)‐1,4‐benzo­quinone and 2‐methyl‐3‐(methylsulfonyl)benzo[b]thiophene

The structure of 2,5‐bis­(methyl­thio)‐1,4‐benzo­quinone, C₈H₈O₂S₂, is composed of an essentially planar centrosymmetric benzo­quinone substituted with two methyl­thio groups. The important bond distances are S—Csp³ 1.788 (2) and S—Csp² 1.724 (2) Å, and the two Csp²—Csp² distances are 1.447 (3) and 1.504 (3) Å, which differ significantly. There are short S?S interactions of 3.430 (1) Å and Csp²—H?O‐type contacts forming a dimeric motif with graph set R₂²(8). The structure of 2‐methyl‐3‐(methyl­sulfonyl)­benzo­[b]­thio­phene, C₁₀H₁₀O₂S₂, is composed of an essentially planar benzo­thio­phene moiety substituted with methyl and methyl­sulfonyl groups. The mean values of the important bond distances are endocyclic S—Csp² 1.734 (3), S=O 1.434 (4) and C—C_aromatic 1.389 (10) Å. The exocyclic S—Csp² and S—Csp³ distances are 1.759 (4) and 1.763 (5) Å, respectively.     

The antiestrogen [2‐(4‐benzyl­phenoxy)­ethyl]­diethyl­ammonium chloride

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₉H₂₆NO⁺·Cl^? (common name: N,N‐diethyl‐2‐[(4‐phenyl­methyl)phenoxy]‐ethan­amine hydro­chloride), contains one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The planes through the two phenyl rings are roughly perpendicular. Protonation occurs at the N atom, to which the Cl^? ion is linked via an N—H?Cl hydrogen bond. The mol­ecule adopts an eclipsed rather than extended conformation.     

2‐[(E)‐(4‐Chloro­phenyl)­methyl­ene­amino]‐N‐(X‐methyl­phenyl)‐4,5,6,7‐tetra­hydro‐1‐benzo­thio­phene‐3‐carbox­amide,where X = 2 and 3

The title compounds, both C₂₃H₂₁ClN₂OS, are isomeric, with (I) and (II) being the N‐3‐methyl­phenyl and N‐2‐methyl­phenyl derivatives, respectively. The dihedral angle between the 4‐chloro­phenyl group and the thio­phene ring in (II) [38.1 (1)°] is larger than that in (I) [7.1 (1)°], indicating steric repulsion between the chloro­phenyl and o‐toluidine groups in (II). In both compounds, an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond forms a pseudo‐six‐membered ring, thus locking the molecular conformation. In the crystal structures, mol­ecules are connected via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b axis in (I) and along the c axis in (II). Intermolecular C—H⋯O/S and π–π interactions are also observed in (II), but not in (I).     

Two biologically active thio­phene‐3‐carbox­amide derivatives

The compounds 2‐{[(E)‐(4‐methoxy­phenyl)­methyl­ene]­amino}‐N‐(3‐methyl­phenyl)‐4,5,6,7‐tetra­hydro‐1‐benzo­thio­ph­ene‐3‐carbox­amide, C₂₄H₂₄N₂O₂S, (I), and N‐(4‐meth­yl­phenyl)‐2‐{[(E)‐(4‐methyl­phenyl)­methyl­ene]­amino}‐4,5,6,7‐tetra­hydro‐1‐benzo­thio­phene‐3‐carbox­amide, C₂₄H₂₄N₂OS, (II), show antibacterial and antifungal activities. The m‐toluidine ring in (I) and the p‐toluidine ring in (II) are coplanar with their respective thio­phene rings. In (I), an intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond is present, whereas (II) does not exhibit any significant intermolecular interactions. However, in both compounds, an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond forms a pseudo‐six‐membered ring, thus locking the molecular conformation and eliminating conformational flexibility.     

Bis­[hydrogen 1,1′‐bis­(di­phenyl­phos­phinato)­ferrocenium] octa­chloro­diantimony(III)

In the title compound, [Fe(C₃₄H₂₉O₂P₂)]₂[Sb₂Cl₈], the discrete centrosymmetric [Sb₂Cl₈]^2? anions are formed from two edge‐shared square pyramids of Cl atoms about each Sb atom. Within the cation, the two di­phenyl­phosphinate groups share one H atom and the ferrocene cyclo­penta­dienyl rings are in a staggered conformation, with the average value of the twist angle being 46°. In the crystal, each [Sb₂Cl₈]^2? anion is involved in eight C—H?Cl interactions with four surrounding cations and these interactions interconnect the ions to form molecular columns along the a direction.     

2‐[(4‐Hydroxyphenyl)iminomethyl]­thiophene

The molecular structure of the title compound, C₁₁H₉NOS, has three planar moieties, two of which are rings, namely the hydroxy­phenyl and the thio­phene, with an angle of 20.76 (10)° between them. The crystal structure is stabilized by an O—H?N hydrogen bond and by C—H?O intermolecular interactions. The C?O intermolecular contact distance is 3.443 (2) Å.     

Polymorphism and solvolysis of 2‐cyano‐3‐[4‐(N,N‐diethyl­amino)­phenyl]­prop‐2‐ene­thio­amide

Two new polymorph forms, (Ia) and (Ib), of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₇N₃S, and its solvate with aceto­nitrile, C₁₄H₁₇N₃S·0.25C₂H₃N, (Ic), have been investigated. Crystals of the two polymorphs were grown from different solvents, viz. ethanol and N,N‐di­methyl­form­amide, respectively. The polymorphs have different orientations of the thio­amide group relative to the CN substituent, with s‐cis and s‐trans geometry of the C=C—C=S diene fragment, respectively. Compound (Ic) contains two independent mol­ecules, A and B, with s‐cis geometry, and the solvate mol­ecule lies on a twofold axis. The core of each mol­ecule is slightly non‐planar; the dihedral angles between the conjugated C=C—CN linkage and the phenyl ring, and between this linkage and the thio­amide group are 13.4 (2) and 12.0 (2)° in (Ia), 14.0 (2) and 18.2 (2)° in (Ib), 2.3 (3) and 12.7 (4)° in molecule A of (Ic), and 23.2 (3) and 8.1 (4)° in molecule B of (Ic). As a result of strong conjugation between donor and acceptor parts, the substituted phenyl rings have noticeable quinoid character. In (Ib), there exists a very strong intramolecular steric interaction (H⋯H = 1.95 Å) between the bridging and thio­amide parts of the mol­ecule, which makes such a form less stable. In the crystal structure of (Ia), intermolecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into infinite tapes along the [10] direction. In (Ib), such intermolecular hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into infinite (101) planes. In (Ic), intermolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules A and B into dimers, which are connected via N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds and form infinite chains along the c direction.     

Ethyl β‐{2‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyliminomethyl]‐1‐(phenylsulfonyl)indol‐3‐yl}acrylate

The title compound, C₂₈H₂₇N₃O₄S, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P2₁/n, with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. In the indole ring, the dihedral angle between the fused rings is 3.6 (1)°. The phenyl ring of the sulfonyl substituent makes a dihedral angle of 79.2 (1)° with the best plane of the indole moiety. The phenyl ring of the di­methyl­amino­phenyl group is orthogonal to the phenyl ring of the phenyl­sulfonyl group. The dihedral angle formed by the weighted least‐squares planes through the pyrrole ring and the phenyl ring of the di­methyl­amino­phenyl group is 7.8 (1)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by C—H?O and C—H?N interactions.     

(E)‐2‐[2‐(1‐Naphthyl)­vinyl]‐3‐tosyl‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zole

The title compound, C₂₆H₂₁NO₂S₂, which consists of a benzo­thia­zole skeleton with α‐naphthyl­vinyl and tosyl groups at positions 2 and 3, respectively, was prepared by palladium–copper‐catalyzed heteroannulation. The E configuration of the mol­ecule about the vinyl C=C bond is established by the benzothiazole–naphthyl C—C—C—C torsion angle of 177.5 (4)°. The five‐membered heterocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation with the Csp³ atom 0.380 (6) Å from the C₂NS plane. The two S—C [1.751 (4) and 1.838 (4) Å] and two N—C [1.426 (5) and 1.482 (5) Å] bond lengths in the thia­zole ring differ significantly.     

(Z)‐3‐(1H‐Indol‐3‐yl)‐2‐(3‐thienyl)­acrylo­nitrile and (Z)‐3‐[1‐(4‐tert‐butyl­benzyl)‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl]‐2‐(3‐thienyl)­acrylo­nitrile

(Z)‐3‐(1H‐Indol‐3‐yl)‐2‐(3‐thienyl)­acrylo­nitrile, C₁₅H₁₀N₂S, (I), and (Z)‐3‐[1‐(4‐tert‐butyl­benzyl)‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl]‐2‐(3‐thienyl)­acrylo­nitrile, C₂₆H₂₄N₂S, (II), were prepared by base‐catalyzed reactions of the corresponding indole‐3‐carbox­aldehyde with thio­phene‐3‐aceto­nitrile. ¹H/¹³C NMR spectral data and X‐ray crystal structures of compounds (I) and (II) are presented. The olefinic bond connecting the indole and thio­phene moieties has Z geometry in both cases, and the mol­ecules crystallize in space groups P2₁/c and C2/c for (I) and (II), respectively. Slight thienyl ring‐flip disorder (ca 5.6%) was observed and modeled for (I).     

3′,4′‐Bis(4‐chloro­phenyl)­spiro­[chroman‐3,5′(4′H)‐isoxazol]‐4‐one

The title compound, C₂₃H₁₅Cl₂NO₃, crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The chroman­one moiety consists of a benzene ring fused with a six‐membered heterocyclic ring which adopts a sofa conformation. The five‐membered spiro­isoxazoline ring is in an envelope conformation. The p‐chloro­phenyl rings bridged by the five‐membered ring are nearly perpendicular to each other. The chromanone moiety of one mol­ecule packs into the cavity formed by the p‐chloro­phenyl rings of a second mol­ecule through the formation of C—H?π interactions. The structure is stabilized by weak C—H?O, C—H?Cl and C—H?π interactions.     

Ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)­phenyl]­carbamate,ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐iodo­phenyl]­carbamate and ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐methyl­phenyl]­carbamate

In ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)phenyl]carbamate, C₁₁H₁₃NO₄, all of the non‐H atoms lie on a mirror plane in the space group Pnma; the mol­ecules are linked into simple chains by a single C—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The mol­ecules of ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐iodo­phenyl]carbamate, C₁₁H₁₂INO₄, are linked into sheets by a combination of O—H⋯I and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a dipolar I⋯O contact. Ethyl N‐­[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐methyl­phenyl]carbamate, C₁₂H₁₅NO₄, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group P; pairs of mol­ecules are weakly linked by an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond and these aggregates are linked into chains by two independent aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions.     

Coordinative NB bond formation and hydrogen‐bonded molecular ladders in 2,5‐bis[(N→B)‐(2‐aminoethoxy)phenylboryl]thiophene

The molecular structure of the title compound, C₂₀H₂₄B₂­N₂O₂S, is characterized by a twofold rotation axis passing through the S atom and the midpoint of the C—C single bond in the thio­phene ring.

A new type of benzo­thia­zolinone derivative with potential pharmacological activity, viz. 6‐(3,4‐di­fluoro­benzoyl)‐3‐[2‐(4‐pyridyl)­ethyl]‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zol‐2(3H)‐one, C₂₁H₁₄F₂N₂O₂S, has been prepared and studied by NMR, IR and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction techniques. The mol­ecule is not planar, the pyridine and di­fluoro­benzene moieties being located above and below the benzo­thia­zole ring system. The carbonyl O atoms are involved in an intramolecular hydrogen‐bond‐type interaction.     

3‐(4‐Cyano­phenyl)­pentane‐2,4‐dione and its copper(II) complex

The β‐diketone 3‐(4‐cyano­phenyl)­pentane‐2,4‐dione crystallizes as the enol tautomer 4‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐oxopent‐2‐en‐3‐yl)­benzo­nitrile, C₁₂H₁₁NO₂, (I), with an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [O⋯O = 2.456 (2) Å]. Reaction of (I) with copper acetate monohydrate in the presence of triethyl­amine leads to the formation of the copper(II) complexbis­[3‐(4‐cyano­phenyl)­pentane‐2,4‐dionato‐κ²O,O]copper(II), [Cu(C₁₂H₁₀NO₂)₂], (II). In the structure of (II), the Cu atom is coordinated by four β‐diketonate O atoms in a slightly distorted square‐planar geometry, with Cu—O distances in the range 1.8946 (11)–1.9092 (11) Å. The nitrile moieties in (II) make it a candidate for reaction with other metal ions to produce supramolecular structures.     

Bis­[4‐(di­methyl­amino)­pyridinium] hexa­chloro­stannate(IV)

In the title compound, 4‐(di­methyl­amino)­pyridine is proton­ated on the pyridine N atom. The N(CH₃)₂ moiety is twisted 4.4 (2)° from the pyridine‐ring plane. The octahedral [SnCl₆]^2? anion is hydrogen bonded via trans‐Cl atoms to pyridinium N atoms from two cations forming (C₇H₁₁N₂)₂[SnCl₆] structural units.     

Two rhod­amine derivatives: 9‐[2‐(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl]‐3,6‐bis(ethyl­amino)‐2,7‐di­methyl­xanthyl­ium chloride monohydrate and 3,6‐di­amino‐9‐[2‐(methoxy­carbonyl)­phenyl]xanthyl­ium chloride trihydrate

The title compounds, C₂₈H₃₁N₂O₃⁺·Cl^?·H₂O (common name rhod­amine‐6g), (I), and C₂₁H₁₇N₂O₃⁺·Cl^?·3H₂O (common name rhod­amine‐123), (II), both have planar xanthene skeletons with a formal +1 charge on the amino N atoms delocalized through the π‐electron system so that the N—Csp² bond distances indicate significant double‐bond character. The substituted planar phenyl groups make angles of 63.29 (8) and 87.96 (11)° with the xanthene planes in (I) and (II), respectively. In both mol­ecules, the carbonyl bond vectors point toward the xanthene rings. The ethyl­amine groups in (I) are oriented similarly with their CH₂–CH₃ bond vectors pointing nearly perpendicular to the xanthene plane. The chloride ions and water mol­ecules are disordered in both structures. In (I), the chloride ion and water mol­ecule are disordered between two sites. One water and chloride alternately occupy the same site with occupancy factors of 0.5. The other 0.5‐chloride and 0.5‐water occupy two distinct positions separated by 0.747 (8) Å. In (II), the chloride ion is disordered between three sites and one of the waters is disordered about two other sites. Both crystal structures are stabilized by hydrogen bonds involving the chloride ions, amino groups and water mol­ecules, as well as by π–π stacking between xanthene planes.

The mol­ecule is nearly planar, the dihedral angles between the essentially planar thio­phene and benzene rings being 9.4 (1) and 10.6 (1)°. One of the thio­ketone O atoms is involved in an inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding inter­action.
