Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (2S,2'S,4'R)-2-(1-Hydroxy-1-ethylpropyl)-1-[(1'-p-tosyl-4'-hydroxypyrrolidin-2'-yl)methyl]pyrrolidine

1 INTRODUCTION In recent years, chiral β-amino alcohols have attracted much attention due to their special bio- logical functions and catalytic activities. Chiral β- amino alcohol moieties are usually found not only in natural products (e.g., cinchona alkaloids, ephe- drine, toxal, etc.) with special biological activities[1, 2], but also critical structural segments of some syn- thesized biologically active compounds, such as adrenergic agonists or antagolist[3, 4] and inhibitors for HI…     

STRUCTURAL STUDY OF GORGOSTEROL FROM SOFT CORAL

<正> The title compound was isolated from the Lobophytum Chevalieri soft coral of the South China Sea and identified by X-ray diffraction to be (22R,23R,24R)-22,23-methylene-23,24-dimetylcholest-5-en- 3β - ol.

The complex [Fe(C14H14NO2)3](2H2O has been prepared by reaction of N-p-methylphenyl-3-hydroxy-2-ethyl-4-pyridinone with FeCl3(6H2O. A single-crystal X-ray study shows that the iron atoms lie in a trigonally distorted octahedral environment coordinated to the hydroxy and ketone oxygen atoms of three ligands in the mer configuration Mr=773.57(C42H46N3O8Fe). The crystal is hexagonal with space group P1c; a=15.943(2), c=17.612(4)?, V=3877.0(12)?3, Z=4, Dc=1.325g/cm3, (=0.445mm－1, F(000)=1634, R=0.0446, wR= 0.1154 for 3085 reflections with I >2((I). The bond lengths from iron to oxygens are 1.980(1)? for the ketone oxygens and 2.071(1)? for the hydroxy oxygens. The molecule exhibits the expected propeller shape, and the angle of the trigonal twist is 48.37(. The dihedral angles are 0.5(2)° between chelate ring plane and pyridine ring plane and 71.31(7)° between pyridine ring plane and benzene ring plane. The solvent H2O(O(3) and O(4)) molecules are linked with O(2) and O(1) by hydrogen bonds with bond lengths 2.900(1) and 2.999(1), respectively.     

Polymorphism in 3‐acetyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one

A new polymorph (denoted polymorph II) of 3‐acetyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one, C₁₁H₈O₄, was obtained unexpectedly during an attempt to recrystallize the compound from salt–melted ice, and the structure is compared with that of the original polymorph (denoted polymorph I) [Lyssenko & Antipin (2001). Russ. Chem. Bull. 50 , 418–431]. Strong intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds are observed equally in the two polymorphs [O...O = 2.4263 (13) Å in polymorph II and 2.442 (1) Å in polymorph I], with a slight delocalization of the hydroxy H atom towards the ketonic O atom in polymorph II [H...O = 1.32 (2) Å in polymorph II and 1.45 (3) Å in polymorph I]. In both crystal structures, the packing of the molecules is dominated and stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Additional π–π stacking interactions between the keto–enol hydrogen‐bonded rings stabilize polymorph I [the centres are separated by 3.28 (1) Å], while polymorph II is stabilized by interactions between α‐pyrone rings, which are parallel to one another and separated by 3.670 (5) Å.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Tris(N-p- methylphenyl-3-hydroxy- 2-ethyl-4-pyridinonato)iron(III)

1 INTRODUCTION A number of hydroxypyrones and hydroxypyridinones are being assessed or considered as orally effective chelators for treatment iron or aluminum overload[1,2]. Almost all present and potential applications involve the tris-ligand complexes of metal(III) cations, as for example in administration of iron(III) complexes for the treatment of anaemia[3], and the appropriate isotopes (e.g. 67Ga, 111In, 90Y) for radiotherapy or the isotopes of gadolinium for magnetic resonance …     

Crystal structure of 1:1 Complexes between urea and two crown ether derivatives of phthalic acid, 2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-decahydrobenzo[1,4,7,10,13,16]hexaoxacyclo-octadecin-18,19-dicarboxylic acid (i) and 2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octahydro-benzo[1,4,7,10,13]pentaoxacyclopentadecin-15,16-dicarboxylic acid (II)

The crystal structures of the titlke compounds have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Urea, I crystallizes in the triclinic PI space group with cell dimensions a = 8.336(2), b = 11.009(2), c = 13.313(2) Å, α = 105.55(3), β = 103.62(3), γ = 104.63(3)° and Z = 2 final R value 0.072 for 2105 observations. Urea, II crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2₁2₁2₁ space group with cell dimensions a = 8.750(2), b = 10.844(3) and c = 21.215(3) Å and Z = 4, final R value 0.083 for 599 observations. All the hydrogen atoms were located in the complex urea, I ; urea molecules form hydrogen bonded dimers about centers of symmetry, these dimers are sandwiched between macrocyclic rings forming one simple and one bifurcated hydrogen bond from the “endo” hydrogen atoms to the ether oxygen atoms. These units are held by hydrogen bonding between the urea molecules and carboxylic acids in two other units; these hydrogen bonds are cyclic involving eight atoms -(N-H(exo)…O(keto)-C-O-H…O(urea)-C)-. Only one carboxylic acid group per molecule takes part in these hydrogen bonds, the other forms a short, 2.490(7) Å, internal bond to the acceptor keto oxygen atom. N(H)…O bonds range from 2.930(7) to 3.206(7) Å, O(H)…O is 2.475(6) Å. In the complex urea, II each urea is hydrogen bonded to three different host molecules and vice versa; the urea “endo” hydrogen atoms bond to the ether oxygen atoms, while both “exo” hydrogen atoms take part in cyclic hydrogen bonds to carboxylic acids. There is not internal hydrogen bond. N(H)…O bonds range from 2.83 to 3.26(2) A and the O-…O bonds are 2.55 and 2.56(2) Å.

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.

IR plus vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy of neutral and ionic organic acid molecules and clusters: acetic acid

Infrared (IR) vibrational spectroscopy of acetic acid (A) neutral and ionic monomers and clusters, employing vacuum ultraviolet (VUV), 10.5 eV single photon ionization of supersonically expanded and cooled acetic acid samples, is presented and discussed. Molecular and cluster species are identified by time of flight mass spectroscopy: the major mass features observed are A(n)H(+) (n=1-9), ACOOH(+) (VUV ionization) without IR radiation present, and A(+) with both IR and VUV radiation present. The intense feature ACOOH(+) arises from the cleavage of (A)(2) at the beta-CC bond to generate ACOOH(+)+CH(3) following ionization. The vibrational spectrum of monomeric acetic acid (2500-7500 cm(-1)) is measured by nonresonant ionization detected infrared (NRID-IR) spectroscopy. The fundamentals and overtones of the CH and OH stretches and some combination bands are identified in the spectrum. Mass selected IR spectra of neutral and cationic acetic acid clusters are measured in the 2500-3800 cm(-1) range employing nonresonant ionization dip-IR and IR photodissociation (IRPD) spectroscopies, respectively. Characteristic bands observed at approximately 2500-2900 cm(-1) for the cyclic ring dimer are identified and tentatively assigned. For large neutral acetic acid clusters A(n)(n>2), spectra display only hydrogen bonded OH stretch features, while the CH modes (2500-2900 cm(-1)) do not change with cluster size n. The IRPD spectra of protonated (cationic) acetic acid clusters A(n)H(+) (n=1-7) exhibit a blueshift of the free OH stretch with increasing n. These bands finally disappear for n> or =6, and one broad and weak band due to hydrogen bonded OH stretch vibrations at approximately 3350 cm(-1) is detected. These results indicate that at least one OH group is not involved in the hydrogen bonding network for the smaller (n< or =5) A(n)H(+) species. The disappearance of the free OH stretch feature at n> or =6 suggests that closed cyclic structures form for A(n)H(+) for the larger clusters (n> or =6).     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Four Zinc Complexes Containing 3,5‐Dimethylpyrazole and Carboxylate Ligands

Four new zinc(II) complexes Zn₂(μ‐dmpz)₂(Hdmpz)₂(L1)₂ ( 1 ) (Hdmpz = 3,5‐dimethylpyrazole, HL1 = 2‐methyl‐2‐phenoxypropanoic acid), Zn(Hdmpz)₂(L2)₂ ( 2 ) [HL2 = 2‐hydroxy‐5‐(phenyldiazenyl)benzoic acid], Zn₂(μ‐dmpz)₂(Hdmpz)₂(L3)₂ ( 3 ) [HL3 = 3,4‐(methylenedioxy)benzoic acid], and Zn₂(μ‐dmpz)₂(Hdmpz)₂(L4)₂ ( 4 ) [HL4 = 3‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)acrylic acid] were prepared and structurally characterized by different techniques including elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The X‐ray studies suggested that all these complexes except compound 2 are centrosymmetric dinuclear complexes with a tetrahedral arrangement around each zinc ion, whereas compound 2 is a mononuclear complex. The pyrazole ligand is coordinated in both terminal as well as a bridging fashion in the dinuclear moiety, whereas the pyrazole ligand in compound 2 is coordinated only in monodentate terminal fashion with its neutral nitrogen group. In all four complexes the carboxylate functions behave as monodentate ligands. All complexes show intramolecular hydrogen bonding of N–H ··· O between N–H of pyrazole and nonbonded oxygen atom of carboxylate. Furthermore, rich intermolecular weak interactions such as classical hydrogen bonds, C–H ··· O, C–H ··· N, C–H ··· π, and CH₃–π interactions exist and complexes 1 – 4 display a set of 3D superamolecular frameworks. In addition, the four compounds are thermally stable below 150 °C.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N,N'-Bis-[(1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-oxo-4-pyrazolinyl)-α-furylmethylidyne]ethylenediimine

A new compound,N,N'-bis[(1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-oxo-4-pyrazolinyl)-α-furylme-thylidyne]ethylenediimine ((HPMαFP)2en),has been synthesized and characterized by IR spectra,thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in a monoclinic system,space group P21/c with a = 10.7485(11),b = 7.6972(8),c = 16.8367(18) ,β = 93.937(2)o,Z = 2,V = 1389.7(3) 3,Dc = 1.340 g/cm3,F(000) = 588.0,μ = 0.091 and S = 1.016. Structural analysis indicates that (HPMαFP)2en exists in an amine-one form. The molecules are well ordered through two intramolecular (N(3)-H(3)···O(1) and C(2)-H(2)···O(1)) and one intermolecular C(3)-H(3)···O(1) hydrogen bonds,leading to the formation of 1D infinite chains. The interactions of these hydrogen bonds contribute to the stabilization of the compound.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cu_2(DMF)(H_2O)(C_7H_4NO_4)_2(C_7H_3NO_4)]_2·3.5DMF

A new copper(II) complex [Cu2(DMF)(H2O)(C7H4NO4)2(C7H3NO4)]2·3.5DMF has been synthesized and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The crystal is of triclinic,space group P1 with a = 10.722(3),b = 18.170(4),c = 20.923(7),α = 105.297(9),β = 101.701(10),γ = 105.74(1)°,V = 3615(1) 3,Z = 2,C58.50H64.50Cu4N11.50O31.50,Mr = 1686.90,Dc = 1.550 g/cm3,μ = 1.255 mm-1,F(000) = 1728.00,T = 150(2) K,the final R = 0.0640 and wR = 0.173 for 11310 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).In the crystal,each formular unit consists of two dinuclear copper(II) compounds,between which the O-H···O hydrogen bonds exist.Each CuII cation is six-coordinated in an octahedral geometry.The intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction leads to a 3-D framework of the title compound.     

Channel‐forming solvate crystals and isostructural solvent‐free powder of 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐pyridone

Crystals of 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐pyridone, (I), grown from a variety of solvents, are invariably trigonal (space group R); these are 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐pyridone acetone 0.1667‐solvate, C₆H₇NO₂·0.1667C₃H₆O, (Ia), and 6‐methyl‐5‐hydroxy‐2‐pyridone propan‐2‐ol 0.1667‐solvate, C₆H₇NO₂·0.1667C₃H₈O, (Ib), and the forms from methanol, (Ic), water, (Id), benzonitrile, (Ie), and benzyl alcohol, (If). They incorporate channels running the length of the c axis that contain extensively disordered solvent molecules. A solvent‐free sublimed powder of 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐pyridone microcrystals is essentially isostructural. Inversion‐related host molecules interact via pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form R₂²(8) dimers. Six of these dimers form large R₁₂⁶(42) puckered rings, in which the O atom of each N—H...O hydrogen bond is also the acceptor in an O—H...O hydrogen bond that involves the 5‐hydroxy group. The large R₁₂⁶(42) rings straddle the axes and form stacked columns viaπ–π interactions between inversion‐related molecules of (I) [mean interplanar spacing = 3.254 Å and ring centroid–centroid distance = 3.688 (2) Å]. The channels are lined by methyl groups, which all point inwards to the centre of the channels.     

Selective recognition of fluoride and acetate by a newly designed ruthenium framework: experimental and theoretical investigations

An effective anion sensor, [Ru(II)(bpy)(2)(H(2)L(-))](+) (1(+)), based on a redox and photoactive {Ru(II)(bpy)(2)} moiety and a new ligand (H(3)L = 5-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid), has been developed for selective recognition of fluoride (F(-)) and acetate (OAc(-)) ions. Crystal structures of the free ligand, H(3)L and [1](ClO(4)) reveal the existence of strong intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. The structure of [1](ClO(4)) shows that the benzimidazole N-H of H(2)L(-) is hydrogen bonded with the pendant carboxylate oxygen while the imidazole N-H remains free for possible hydrogen bonding interaction with the anions. The potential anion sensing features of 1(+) have been studied by different experimental and theoretical (DFT) investigations using a wide variety of anions, such as F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), HSO(4)(-), H(2)PO(4)(-), OAc(-) and SCN(-). Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry established that 1(+) is an excellent electrochemical sensor for the selective recognition of F(-) and OAc(-) anions. 1(+) is also found to be a selective colorimetric sensor for F(-) or OAc(-) anions where the MLCT band of the receptor at 498 nm is red shifted to 538 nm in the presence of one equivalent of F(-) or OAc(-) with a distinct change in colour from reddish-orange to pink. The binding constant between 1(+) and F(-) or OAc(-) has been determined to be logK = 7.61 or 7.88, respectively, based on spectrophotometric titration in CH(3)CN. The quenching of the emission band of 1(+) at 716 nm (λ(ex) = 440 nm, Φ = 0.01 at 298 K in CH(3)CN) in the presence of one equivalent of F(-) or OAc(-), as well as two distinct lifetimes of the quenched and unquenched forms of the receptor 1(+), makes it also a suitable fluorescence-based sensor. All the above experiments, in combination with (1)H NMR, suggest the formation of a 1:1 adduct between the receptor (1(+)) and the anion (F(-) or OAc(-)). The formation of 1:1 adduct {[1(+)·F(-)] or [1(+)·OAc(-)]} has been further evidenced by in situ ESI-MS(+) in CH(3)CN. Though the receptor, 1(+), is comprised of two N-H protons associated with the coordinated H(2)L(-) ligand, only the free imidazole N-H proton participates in the hydrogen bonding interactions with the incoming anions, while the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded benzimidazole N-H proton remains intact as evidenced by the crystal structure of the final product (1). The hydrogen bond mediated anion sensing mechanism, over the direct deprotonation pathway, in 1(+) has been further justified by a DFT study and subsequent NBO analysis.     

The epimeric 9‐oxobicyclo[3.3.1]nonane‐3‐carboxylic acids: hydrogen‐bonding patterns of the endo acid and the lactol of the exo acid

The two δ‐keto carboxylic acids of the title, both C₁₀H₁₄O₃, are epimeric at the site of carboxyl attachment. The endo (3α) epimer, (I), has its keto‐acid ring in a boat conformation, with the tilt of the carboxyl group creating conformational chirality. The mol­ecules form hydrogen bonds by centrosymmetric pairing of carboxyl groups across the corners of the chosen cell [O⃛O = 2.671 (2) Å and O—H⃛O = 179 (2)°]. Two close intermolecular C—H⃛O contacts exist for the ketone. The exo (3β) epimer exists in the closed ring–chain tautomeric form as the lactol, 8‐hydroxy‐9‐oxatri­cyclo­[5.3.1.0^3,8]­undecan‐10‐one, (II). The mol­ecules have conformational chirality, and the hydrogen‐bonding scheme involves intermolecular hydroxyl‐to‐carbonyl chains of mol­ecules screw‐related in b [O⃛O = 2.741 (2) Å and O—H⃛O = 177 (2)°].
