Ethyl 2‐[N‐(tert‐butyl­oxy­carbonyl)‐l‐alanyl­amino]‐4‐methyl‐1,3‐thia­zole‐5‐carboxyl­ate reveals a trans orientation of the preceding amide N—H with respect to the thia­zole‐ring sulfur

The title mol­ecule, C₁₅H₂₃N₃O₅S, was prepared as a synthetic precursor to 4‐methyl­thia­zole‐based DNA minor groove binders which would bear chiral amino acids in the sequence. The crystallographic evidence presented herein shows that the aromatic amide NH group preceding the thia­zole ring points away from the direction of sulfur. The mol­ecule is biplanar, with the dihedral angle between the N‐terminus peptide moiety and the thia­zole‐containing plane being 49.7 (5)°, with a bend at the Cα carbon.     

N‐(3H‐Thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine and N‐methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine

The geometries of the thia­zole ring and the nitr­amino groups in N‐(3H‐thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine, C₃H₃N₃O₂S, (I), and N‐­methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine, C₄H₅N₃O₂S, (II), are very similar. The nitr­amine group in (II) is planar and twisted along the C—N bond with respect to the thia­zole ring. In both structures, the asymmetric unit includes two practically equal mol­ecules. In (I), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers connected to each other by N—H⋯N and much weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure of (II), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers bound to each other by both weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and S⋯O dipolar interactions.     

6‐(3,4‐Di­fluoro­benzoyl)‐3‐[2‐(4‐pyridyl)­ethyl]‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zol‐2(3H)‐one

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.     

2‐Amino­thia­zole and 2‐amino­thiazolinone derivatives

The reaction of different substituted α‐cyano­oxiranes with thio­urea resulted in the formation of the 2‐amino­thia­zolinone derivative 2‐amino‐5‐(2,5‐di­methoxy­phenyl)‐1,3‐thia­zol‐4(5H)‐one, C₁₁H₁₂N₂O₃S, (I), and the 2‐amino­thia­zole derivative ethyl 2‐amino‐5‐(2,5‐di­methoxy­phenyl)‐1,3‐thia­zole‐4‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₄H₁₆N₂O₄S, (II). The geometries of the two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in (II) are nearly identical but mirror related. The crystal structures of both compounds contain two types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

4‐Methyl‐2‐[N‐(3,4‐methyl­ene­dioxy­benzyl­idene)hydrazino]­thia­zole and its reduction product, 4‐methyl‐2‐[N‐(3,4‐methyl­ene­dioxybenzyl­idene)hydrazono]‐4,5‐di­hydro­thia­zole

The crystal structures of 4‐methyl‐2‐[N‐(3,4‐methyl­ene­dioxybenzyl­idene)hydrazino]­thia­zole, C₁₂H₁₁N₃O₂S, and its reduction product 4‐methyl‐2‐[N‐(3,4‐methyl­ene­dioxybenzyl­idene)hydrazono]‐4,5‐di­hydro­thia­zole, C₁₂H₁₃N₃O₂S, have been determined and compared. In the reduction product, the tautomer observed bears an H atom on the exocyclic N atom. Both compounds form hydrogen‐bonded dimers over centers of inversion.     

Di­methyl (1‐methyl‐1,3‐benzimidazol‐5‐yl)­amino­methyl­ene­propane­dioate monohydrate

In the title compound, C₁₄H₁₅N₃O₄·H₂O, there is a strong conjugation push–pull effect across the central double bond, as reflected in the molecular dimensions and the planarity of the en­amino­ne portion of the mol­ecule. The mol­ecule has an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the NH and CO groups in the Z configuration, adopting the chelated form. The two π systems of the mol­ecule (1‐methyl­benz­imidazole and en­amino­ne) are deconjugated and tilted with respect to each other by 15.6 (2)°. The solvent water mol­ecule is hydrogen bonded to the N¹ atom of the 1‐methyl­benzimidazolyl group.     

Sodium p‐nitro­benzoxasulfamate monohydrate

The title compound, alternatively named sodium 6‐nitro‐3H‐1,2,3‐benzoxa­thia­zole 2,2‐dioxide monohydrate, Na⁺·C₆H₃­N₂O₅S^?·H₂O, consists of chains of NaO₇ units, with the seven donor‐O atoms coming from two water mol­ecules and five p‐­nitro­benzoxasulfamate anions. The seven‐coordinate geometry around the Na⁺ ion is described as monocapped trigonal prismatic, but with a large distortion from ideal geometry. Each triangular face is defined by one O atom each from a water mol­ecule, a nitro group and a sulfonyl group. An O atom from a sulfonyl group caps one of the square faces of the trigonal prism in an unsymmetrical fashion. The water mol­ecules and one sulfonyl O atom are involved in bridging adjacent units, as is the nitro group of the anion. The sulfamate ions adopt an antiparallel alignment between the NaO₇ units and are connected to each other by C—H?O and π–π interactions. The three‐dimensional crystal structure is stabilized by a network of strong O—H?N hydrogen bonds.     

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.     

2,3‐Dihydro‐3‐methyl‐2‐nitrimino‐1,3‐thiazole

The title compound {alternatively, 3‐methyl‐2‐[oxido(oxo)hydrazono]‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,3‐thiazole}, C₄H₅N₃O₂S, was obtained by methyl­ation of N‐(2‐thia­zolyl)­nitr­amine. The molecule lies on a mirror plane and the thia­zole ring is planar, regular in shape and aromatic. The S atom participates in the aromatic sextet via an electron pair on the 3p_z orbital. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are arranged in parallel layers, bound to each other by weak C—H?O and C—H?N hydrogen bonds and by S?O dipolar interactions, with an interlayer separation of 3.23 Å.     

[2,6‐Bis(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl‐κN3)­pyridine‐κN](di­methyl­form­amide‐κO)­(thio­sulfato‐κ2O,S)­nickel(II) mono­hydrate

The structure of the title compound, [Ni(ths)(bbip)(dmf)]·­H₂O [ths is thio­sulfate, S₂O₃; bbip is 2,6‐bis(1H‐benz­imidazol‐2‐yl)­pyridine, C₂₁H₁₃N₅; and dmf is di­methyl­form­amide, C₃H₇NO], is monomeric, with the nickel ion octahe­drally surrounded by an N,N′,N′′‐tridentate bbip mol­ecule, an S,O‐bidentate ths mol­ecule and an O‐monodentate dmf mol­ecule. The H atoms of the hydration water mol­ecule and the amino groups of bbip are involved in hydrogen bonding and determine a spatial organization of broad layers parallel to (001), which are connected by weak interactions.     

Ethyl 2‐amino‐4‐phenyl‐1,3‐thia­zole‐5‐carboxyl­ate

The structure of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₂N₂O₂S, (I), comprises mol­ecules that form dimers via N—H?N hydrogen‐bonding interactions and then construct the overall network through N—H?O associations. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and thia­zole rings is 42.41 (6)°.     

3,6‐Di­chloro‐4‐[2‐(4‐thia­morpholino)­ethanesulfanyl]­pyridazine and 3,6‐bis­(pyrazol‐1‐yl)‐4‐[2‐(4‐thia­mor­pho­lino)­ethanesulfanyl]­pyridazine

The trans–trans conformations adopted by the derivatized bis­(bidentate) chelating N₄‐donor ligand 3,6‐bis­(pyrazol‐1‐yl)‐4‐[2‐(4‐thia­morpholino)­ethanesulfanyl]­pyridazine, C₁₆H₁₉N₇S₂, and an intermediate in its formation, 3,6‐di­chloro‐4‐[2‐(4‐thia­morpholino)­ethanesulfanyl]­pyridazine, C₁₀H₁₃Cl₂N₃S₂, con­trast with the cis–cis conformation found previously for 3,6‐bis­(thio­phen‐2‐yl)­pyridazine [Ackers, Blake, Hill & Hubberstey (2002). Acta Cryst. C 58 , o640–o641], which places all four heteroatoms on the same side of the mol­ecule.     

5,11,17,23‐Tetra‐tert‐butyl‐25,26,27,28‐tetrakis(2‐cyano­benzyl­oxy)‐2,8,14,20‐tetra­thia­calix­[4]­arene–di­chloro­methane (1/2)

A new p‐tert‐butyl­thia­calix­[4]­arene derivative, C₇₂H₆₈N₄O₄S₄·2CH₂Cl₂, has been synthesized and is comprised of one tetra‐p‐tert‐butyltetrakis(2‐cyano­benzyl­oxy)­tetra­thia­calix­[4]arene and two di­chloro­methane mol­ecules. The calix­[4]­arene mol­ecule is centrosymmetric and adopts an unusual 1,2‐alternate conformation viaπ–π interactions between adjacent cyano­phenyl rings on the lower rim of the parent thia­calix­[4]­arene system.     

(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.     

On the short carbonyl bond in bis[μ‐1,2‐benzisothiazol‐3(2H)‐one 1,1‐dioxido‐κ2N:O]bis{[1,2‐benzisothiazol‐3(2H)‐one 1,1‐dioxido‐κN]bis(imidazole)copper(II)}

The short carbonyl bond in the title compound, [Cu₂(C₇H₄­NO₃S)₄(C₃H₄N₂)₄] [Liu, Huang, Li & Lin (1991). Acta Cryst. C 47 , 41–43], is an artifact of disorder in the iso­thia­zol‐3(2H)‐one 1,1‐dioxide part of the 1,2‐benziso­thia­zol‐3(2H)‐one entity. In the present redetermination, all bond dimensions in the centrosymmetric dinuclear mol­ecule are normal. The five‐coordinate Cu atom shows trigonal–bipyramidal coordination. Hydro­gen bonds from the imidazole donor ligand link adjacent mol­ecules into a two‐dimensional layer structure.     

4,4′‐Sulfonyl­bis­[N‐(4‐nitro­phenyl­methyl­ene)­benzen­amine]: whole‐mol­ecule disorder

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₂₆H₁₈N₄O₆S, determined from synchrotron data with a small crystal, is characterized by the presence of whole‐mol­ecule disorder. In each mol­ecule, the two planar portions are approximately perpendicular to one another and there are short intermolecular contacts between the nitro groups.     

9(R)‐[6(R)‐Hydroxy­methyl‐1‐oxa‐4‐thia­cyclo­hexan‐2‐yl]hypoxanthine–water (4/3), a nucleoside analogue

The title compound, 9(R)‐[6(R)‐hydroxy­methyl‐1‐oxa‐4‐thia­cyclo­hexan‐2‐yl]‐1,9‐di­hydro‐6H‐purin‐6‐one–water (4/3), C₁₀H₁₂N₄O₃S·0.75H₂O, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with four mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit and 0.75 waters of hydration per mol­ecule. The structure was refined to an R value of 0.072 for 3382 observed reflections. The four crystallographically independent mol­ecules are designated A, B, C and D. All four oxa­thia­ne rings adopt the chair conformation and the purine bases are in an anti orientation with respect to the sugar moieties. Molecules A and D and mol­ecules C and B are base paired by a single hydrogen bond of the type N—H?N. These base pairs are again hydrogen bonded to their translated pairs in the direction of a cell diagonal.     

The fused heterocycle 2‐benzyl‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐4‐phenyl­sulfonyl‐2H,4H‐pyrrolo­[3,4‐b]­indole

Crystal structure determination of the title mol­ecule, C₃₀H₂₄N₂O₂S, reveals that the pyrrole ring in this fused heterocycle, although presumably strained and reactive in cyclo­addition reactions, does not differ appreciably from N‐methyl­pyrrole except for a shorter C—C single bond [1.409 (4) Å] in the pyrrole ring.     

Unusual conformations of 1,3‐dialk­oxy­thia­calix[4]arenes in the solid state

The structures of three syn‐1,3‐dialkoxy­thia­calix[4]arenes with unusual conformations in the solid state are reported. The pinched cone conformation of syn‐2²,4²‐dihydroxy‐1²,3²‐bis­(prop‐2‐enyl­oxy)thia­calix[4]arene, C₃₀H₂₄O₄S₄, (3a), is stabilized by two intra­molecular hydrogen bonds, remarkably formed from both OH groups to the same ether O atom. In syn‐2²,4²‐dihydroxy‐1⁵,2⁵,3⁵,4⁵‐tetra­nitro‐1²,3²‐bis­(prop‐2‐enyl­oxy)thia­calix[4]arene acetone disolvate, C₃₀H₂₀N₄O₁₂S₄·2C₃H₆O, (3b1), the mol­ecule is found in the 1,3‐alternate conformation. The crystallographic C2 symmetry is due to a twofold rotation axis running through the centre of the calixarene ring. The hydroxy groups cannot form intra­molecular hydrogen bonds as in (3a) and both are bonded to an acetone solvent mol­ecule. The mol­ecule of the pseudo‐polymorph of (3b1) in which the same compound crystallized without any solvent, viz. (3b2), is located on a crystallographic mirror plane. Only one of the two hydroxy groups forms a hydrogen bond, and this is with a nitro group of a neighbouring mol­ecule as acceptor. Mol­ecular mechanics calculations for syn‐1,3‐diethers suggest a preference of the 1,3‐alternate over the usual cone conformation for thia­calix[4]arene versus calix[4]arene and for para‐nitro versus para‐H derivatives.     

1‐[4‐(Methyl­sulfonyl)­phenyl]‐5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole derivatives

Three related compounds containing a pyrazole moiety with vicinal phenyl rings featuring a methyl­sulfonyl substituent are described, namely 3‐methyl‐1‐[4‐(methyl­sulfonyl)­phenyl]‐5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole, C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂S, ethyl 1‐[4‐(methyl­sul­fonyl)­phenyl]‐5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₉H₁₈N₂O₄S, and 1‐[4‐(methyl­sulfonyl)­phenyl]‐3‐[3‐(morpholino)­phenoxy­methyl]‐5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole, C₂₇H₂₇N₃O₄S. The design of these compounds was based on celecoxib, a selective cyclo­oxy­genase‐2 (COX‐2) inhibitor, in order to study the influence of various substituents on COX‐2 and 5‐lipoxy­genase (5‐LOX) inhibition.
