Crystal and molecular structure of 7α, 8α, 13-trihydroxy-marasman-5-oic acid γ-lactone,C15H22O4

The structure of the title compound has been investigated by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are monoclinic, space groupP2₁, with cell dimensions:a=9.802(3),b=6.192(1),c=12.392(2) Å, and=112.40(2)°. The structure was solved by direct methods, and refined with 1492 unique reflections by a full-matrix, least-squares procedure givingR=0.0450. Thetrans arrangement of H-8 and H-9 hydrogens as deduced from earlier¹H NMR experiments was fully confirmed by the X-ray investigations.     

Structures of 8α-(2′-methylbutyryloxy)-9α-hydroxymontahibisciolide,a new skeletal type of sesquiterpene lactone,and of its precursor 8α-isobutyryloxy-9-oxo-germacra-4E, 1(10)Z-dien-6β,12-olide

The structures of a new skeletal type of sesquiterpene lactone, containing a seven, five, fivering system, and of its putative precursor, a 9-oxo-melampolide, have been confirmed by single crystal X-ray structure determination. The central 5-membered ring of the new skeleton istrans-fused to the cycloheptene ring andcis-fused to the lactone ring. Transannular interactions and the geometry of thetrans carbon-carbon double bond of the oxo-melampolide and the keto-group at C9, suggest that the new seven, five, five tricyclic skeleton-type of montahibisciolide can easily be reached by a transannular cyclization process. The isobutyrloxy group of the oxo-melampolide is disordered into two partially populated conformations. 8-(2-Methylbutyryloxy)-9-hydroxymontahibisciolide,3, C₂₀H₂₈O₅, crystallizes in orthorhombic space groupP2₁2₁2₁ witha=8.294(2),b=9.740(2),c=22.675(1) Å,V=1832(1)ų,Z=4. The structure was refined toR=0.043 andR _w=0.048 for 2898 observed reflections with CuK radiation. 8-isobutyryloxy-9-oxo-germacra-4E, 1(10)Z-dien-6, 12-olide,4, C₁₉H₂₄O₅, crystallizes in monoclinic space groupC2 witha=32.879(7),b=5.793(2),c=9.884(4)Å, =99.01(3)°,V=1859.5(9)å³,Z=4. The structure was refined toR=0.054 andR _w=0.064 for 1010 observed reflections with MoK radiation.     

Structure of (1αH,6βH,7αH,8αH)-1α,10α-epoxy-8β-hydroxy-germacr-2,11(13)-dien-6,12-olide (Incomptine B): A sesquiterpenoid lactone

C₁₅H₁₈O₄ is monoclinic,P2₁. Unit-cell dimensions at 293 K area=15.048(5),b=9.756(3),c=15.815(5)Å,=114.18(2)°,V=2118(1)ų,D _x=1.23 g cm^–3, andZ=6. The structure has been determined from single-crystal data collected with a four-circle diffractometer and refined from 2816 observed reflections toR=0.054. The structural features determined from chemical and spectroscopic studies are confirmed and extended. The incomptine B occurs as three independent molecules with different conformations. The stereochemistry at C(6), C(7), and C(8) is 6S, 7R, and 8R. The 10-membered ring has an approximate C₂ symmetry for the A, B, and C molecules. The -methylene -lactone ring adopts a half-chair conformation for molecule A, and a conformation intermediate between-envelope and half-chair for the B and C molecules, respectively. The structures are stabilized by a three-dimensional network of O-HO hydrogen bonds and several C-HO interactions.

Crystal structure of tisinalite Na2(Mn,Ca)1 − x (Ti,Zr,Nb,Fe3+)[Si6O8(O,OH)10]

Crystal structure of tisinalite from the Lovozero alkaline massif (the Kola Peninsula) was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (SYNTEX $\bar P1$ diffractometer, λMoK_α radiation, 2θ/θ scanning mode). The structure solution (SHELX97 program package, R _hkl = 0.0565, 951 independent reflections, anisotropic refinement of thermal atomic displacements) confirmed that tisinalite belongs to the lovozerite structure type (sp. gr., $\bar P1$ , a = 10.036(5) Å, c = 12.876(9) Å, Z = 3). The difference between the structure of tisinalite and the structures of the minerals of the lovozerite group established earlier consists in the nature of the occupancy of both cation and anion positions.

Racemic γ-2-cis-6-diphenyl-trans-3-ethylpiperidin-4-one oxime, a crystal structure with Z′ = 8

The crystal structure of the title compound contains eight molecules per asymmetric crystal unit, each four of the two enantiomers (Pa, a = 19.7547(3) Å, b = 17.2606(2) Å, c = 20.8149(4) Å, β = 114.2656(16)°, V = 6470.4(2) ų, Z = 16). The independent molecules have significantly different conformations, and local pseudosymmetries are obeyed only very roughly. The oxime groups form the typical hydrogen bonded cyclic dimers, whereas the amine donors are not satisfied by any kind of hydrogen bonds.

Differential thermal analysis of Ag–Ge–Se,Ge–Se charge materials in the process of their heating and Ag8GeSe6, GeSe2 compound synthesis

This is the first comprehensive study of the processes of phase transformations (PT) and chemical reactions (CR) that accompany Ge–Se and Ag–Ge–Se charge material heating in stoichiometric proportions corresponding to GeSe₂ compounds, Ag₈GeSe₆ argyrodite and elementary selenium. The investigation was carried out by means of the differential thermal analysis (DTA) method. The PT in selenium and the main types of PT and CR of the formation of GeSe₂, Ag₈GeSe₆ compounds have been identified. The characteristic heats and temperature ranges of reaction processes have been determined. Ag₈GeSe₆ and GeSe₂ compounds formation has been experimentally demonstrated due to the DTA and X-ray analysis.

Structure of two 1,3-dioxane derivatives from 4′, 5′-dimethylfurocoumarins: 4a, 11a-dihydro-4a, 11a-dimethyl-8H-pyrano[3′,2′∶5,6]benzofuro[3,2-e]-1, 3-dioxan-8-one and 7a,11a-dihydro-7a,11a-dimethyl-2H-pyrano[2′, 3′∶4,5]benzofuro[3,2-d] (1,3) dioxan-2-one

Treatment of dimethylated psoralen and angelicin in the 4, 5-position leads to the formation of 1,3-dioxane derivatives, resulting from the condensation of an 1,3-dioxane ring to the 4, 5-positions of the dihydrofurocoumarin moiety. The structures of these new compounds, 4a, 1 1a-dihydro-4a, 11a-dimethyl-8H-pyrano [3, 25,6]benzofuro[3,2-e]-1, 3-dioxan-8-one (C₁₅H₁₄O₅) (1) and 7a, 11a-dihydro-7a, 11a-dimethyl-2H-pyrano[2, 34, 5]benzofuro[3, 2-d](1, 3)dioxan-2-one (C₁₅H₁₄O₅) (2) have been assigned by¹H and¹³C NMR measurements, mass spectrometry results, and X-ray analysis. Compound (1): triclinic,P¯1,a=9.847(2),b=8.927(2),c=8.334(2) Å,=95.98(2),=108.81(3), =106.73(3)°; compound (2): triclinic,P¯1,a=7.296(4),b=7.481(2),c=11.812(4) Å,=91.67(2),=95.97(4), =94.20(3)°. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares toR=0.050 (1) and 0.056 (2). In both compounds the coumarin rings can be regarded as coplanar, while the five-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation and the 1,3-dioxane ring a chair conformation.
