X-ray structures of two methoxybenzo[b]thiophenes

The crystal and molecular structures of two methoxybenzo[b]thiophenes have been determined by three-dimensional, single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Both 3-(4-hydroxy-3, 5-dimethoxybenzoyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene and 3-(2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene (hereafter referred to asI andII, respectively) crystallize in the monoclinic centrosymmetric space groupP2₁/n (No. 14, C _2h ⁵ ) with four formula units-per cell witha=6.866(1),b=28.638(2),c=11.830(2) Å, and =105.52(1)° anda=9.328(1),b=7.977(1),c=29.650(4) Å, and =97.87(1)°, respectively.

The structures differ in the positioning of the dimethoxy groups of the benzoyl ligands and the addition of a hydroxyl group inI. The molecules in the crystal lattice are held together by van der Waals forces plus the addition of hydrogen bonding in compoundI. Selected bond distances and angles and torsion angles are tabularized.

The¹H NMR spectra for the title structure and for the N-(p-methoxybenzyl) amide of -(1,1-ethylenedioxy)-ethyl--hydroxybutyric acid are given.

The dioxolane ring has a half-chair conformation with C₂(O3)=2.4° and ||_av=18.2°. The inconsiderable deviations from planarity of the six atoms of the amide group are caused mainly by twist around the C4–N1 bond and out-of-plane bending at the N1 atom ((C4–N1)=4°, X_N =7°, X_c =0.4° ). The amide group plane is nearly coplanar with the phenyl ring. The molecules are connected by two intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Structural characterization of oxidized lumiflavin hydrochloride hydrate: Comparison with the hydrogen bonding at the cofactor of flavoproteins

In order to examine the possibility of hydrogen bonding around the flavin ring, an X-ray diffraction study of the title compound was undertaken.

The molecular conformation of clonidine hydrochloride,an α-adrenergic agonist

The molecular conformation of the antihypertensive drug clonidine hydrochloride [2-(2,6-dichlorophenylimino)-2-imidazole HCl] has been shown by crystallographic studies to have a nearly perpendicular arrangement of the phenyl and imidazole rings as described by the torsion angles C₂-C₁-N₁-C₂= 76 ° and C₁-N₁-C₂-N₁ = 0 °. This conformation is not either of those suggested as the minimum energy form by CNDO/2 calculations for the protonated or free-base models. However, it is consistent with a nonplanar model proposed as the active conformer based on QSAR and spectral studies. The bonding about the imidazole carbon is similar to the guanidinium ion and the three C₂-N distances of the planar imidazole ring are nearly equal. The chloride ion forms strong hydrogen bonds with the amine hydrogen (2.3 Å) and the imidazole (N₁,) hydrogen (2.4 Å). Comparison with -adrenergic agonists shows that this conformation of clonidine fits the proposed pharmacophore model and should compete effectively for the -adrenergic receptors.Presented in part at the American Crystallographic Association Meeting, Clemson, South Carolina, January 1976.
