2‐[2‐(Pyrrolidin‐2‐yl)propan‐2‐yl]‐1H‐pyrrole and its amide derivative 1‐{2‐[2‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)propan‐2‐yl]pyrrolidin‐1‐yl}ethanone

In the title compounds, C₁₁H₁₈N₂, (II), and C₁₃H₂₀N₂O, (III), the pyrrolidine rings have twist conformations. Compound (II) crystallizes with two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The mean planes of the pyrrole and pyrrolidine rings are inclined to one another by 89.99 (11) and 89.35 (10)° in molecules A and B, respectively. In (III), the amide derivative of (II), the same dihedral angle is much smaller, at only 13.42 (10)°. In the crystal structure of (II), the individual molecules are linked via N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form inversion dimers, each with an R²₂(12) graph‐set motif. In the crystal structure of (III), the molecules are linked via N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form inversion dimers with an R²₂(16) graph‐set motif.     

Synthesis and Cytotoxic Activity of 1‐{3‐[1‐(5‐Organylsilylfuran‐2‐yl)silinan‐1‐yl]propyl}amines and Some Trimethylgermyl Analogues

New highly cytotoxic 1‐{3‐[1‐(5‐organylsilyl‐furan‐2‐yl)silinan‐1‐yl]propyl}amines and some trimethylgermyl analogues (IC₅₀ 1–7 μg mL^?1) have been synthesized by a hydrosilylation reaction of aliphatic and heterocyclic N‐allylamines in the presence of Speier’s catalyst. The effects of the silacycle, the element‐organic substituent in position 5 of the furan ring, and the structure of the amine on the cytotoxicity of the new compounds have been studied.     

2‐(1,3‐Dithian‐2‐yl)benzaldehyde and N‐{2‐[2‐(1,3‐dioxan‐2‐yl)phenoxy]­ethyl}phthalimide

The crystal structures of two elaborated‐porphyrin precursors have been determined. In the crystalline state, 2‐(1,3‐di­thian‐2‐yl)­benz­aldehyde, C₁₁H₁₂OS₂, has its di­thiane ring in a slightly distorted chair conformation. The mol­ecules pack in anti‐parallel chains. N‐{2‐[2‐(1,3‐Dioxan‐2‐yl)­phenoxy]­ethyl}­phthal­imide, C₂₀H₁₉NO₅, is in a folded conformation. The dihedral angle between the phthal­imide and phenyl planes is 80.07 (3)°. In the crystalline states, mol­ecules stack on top of one another.     

1‐(2‐{4‐[6‐Hydro­xy‐2‐(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­benzo­[b]­thiol‐3‐yl­carbonyl]­phenoxy}ethyl)­piperidinium chloride

The title compound, raloxifene hydro­chloride, C₂₈H₂₈NO₄S⁺·Cl^?, belongs to the benzo­thio­phene class of antiosteoporotic drugs. In the molecular cation, the 2‐phenol ring sustains a dihedral angle of 45.3 (1)° relative to the benzo­[b]­thio­phene system. The benzo­[b]­thio­phene and phenyl ring planes are twisted with respect to the carbonyl plane, with the smallest twist component occurring between the phenyl and carbonyl planes. The N atom bears the positive charge in the molecular cation and the piperidine ring adopts an almost perfect chair conformation. The Cl^? anion is involved in the formation of N—H?Cl and O—H?Cl intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which lead to the formation of a layer of molecular cations.     

4‐[1‐(Phenylsulfonyl)indol‐3‐yl]‐3a,4,5,9b‐tetrahydro‐3H‐cyclopenta[c]quinoline

In the title compound, C₂₆H₂₂N₂O₂S, the tetra­hydro­pyridine ring has a conformation intermediate between half‐chair and sofa. The tetrahydroquinoline mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 73.3 (1)° with the cyclopentene ring, which adopts an envelope conformation, and an angle of 45.45 (4)° with the indole best plane. The dihedral angle between the benzene and pyrrole rings is 2.6 (1)°. The orientations of the phenyl ring on the sulfonyl group and of the indole are governed by weak C—H?O interactions. The packing of the mol­ecule in the solid state is stabilized by C—H?O and C—H?N hydrogen bonds.     

N,N′‐Dicyclohexyl‐N‐[4‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)butanoyl]urea

The title compound, C₂₅H₃₅N₃O₂, is a novel urea derivative. Pairs of intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds join the molecules into centrosymmetric R₂²(12) and R₂²(18) dimeric rings, which are alternately linked into one‐dimensional polymeric chains along the [010] direction. The parallel chains are connected via C—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate a two‐dimensional framework structure parallel to the (001) plane. The title compound was also modelled by solid‐state density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A comparison of the molecular conformation and hydrogen‐bond geometry obtained from the X‐ray structure analysis and the theoretical study clearly indicates that the DFT calculation agrees closely with the X‐ray structure.     

1‐{5‐[2‐(Tri­fluoro­methyl)­phenyl]‐1,3,4‐thia­diazol‐2‐yl}guanidinium chloride

In the title compound, C₁₀H₉F₃N₅S⁺·Cl^?, which was developed as a potential anticonvulsant, the phenyl ring, the thia­diazo­le ring and the guanidinium moiety are all planar. There is a dihedral angle of 48.9 (1)° between the thia­diazole and phenyl rings which prevents steric hindrance arising from the π bonds within the former, and the tri­fluoro­phenyl moiety attached to the latter. The thia­diazole and guanidinium moieties are twisted by 12.7 (2)° with respect to each other. An extensive network of hydrogen bonds, predominantly involving the chloride ion, maintains the crystal structure.     

Trimethyl[3‐methyl‐1‐(o‐tolenesulfonyl)indol‐2‐ylmethyl]ammonium iodide and benzyl[3‐bromo‐1‐(phenylsulfonyl)indol‐2‐ylmethyl]tolylamine

The title compounds, C₂₀H₂₅N₂O₂S⁺·I^?, (I), and C₂₉H₂₅BrN₂O₂S, (II), respectively, both crystallize in space group P. The pyrrole ring subtends an angle with the sulfonyl group of 33.6° in (I) and 21.5° in (II). The phenyl ring of the sulfonyl substituent makes a dihedral angle with the best plane of the indole moiety of 81.6° in (I) and 67.2° in (II). The lengthening or shortening of the C—N bond distances in both compounds is due to the electron‐withdrawing character of the phenyl­sulfonyl group. The S atoms are in distorted tetrahedral configurations. The molecular structures are stabilized by C—H?O and C—H?I interactions in (I), and by C—H?O and C—H?N interactions in (II).     

Synthesis of Novel Fluorescent 2‐{4‐[1‐(Pyridine‐2‐yl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl] phenyl}‐2H‐naphtho [1,2‐d] [1,2,3] triazolyl Derivatives and Evaluation of Their Thermal and Photophysical Properties

Novel 2‐{4‐[1‐(pyridine‐2‐yl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl] phenyl}‐2H‐naphtho [1,2‐d] [1,2,3] triazolyl fluorescent derivatives were synthesized from p‐nitrophenylacetic acid and 2‐hydrazino pyridine through Vilsmeier–Haack and diazotization reactions. Photophysical properties were evaluated, and results show that compounds have good fluorescence quantum yields. Thermal analysis showed that they are reasonably stable. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by FT‐IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral and elemental analysis.     

(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).     

Synthesis,crystal structure studies and solvatochromic behaviour of two 2‐{5‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl]penta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐ylidene}malononitrile derivatives

The synthesis, crystal structure studies and solvatochromic behavior of 2‐{(2E,4E)‐5‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl]penta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐ylidene}malononitrile, C₁₆H₁₅N₃ (DCV[3]), and 2‐{(2E,4E,6E)‐7‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl]hepta‐2,4,6‐trien‐1‐ylidene}malononitrile, C₁₈H₁₇N₃ (DCV[4]), are reported and discussed in comparison with their homologs having a shorter length of the π‐conjugated bridge. The compounds of this series have potential use as nonlinear materials with second‐order effects due to their donor–acceptor structures. However, DCV[3] and DCV[4] crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group P2₁/c which excludes their application as nonlinear optical materials in the crystalline state. They both crystallize with two independent molecules having the same molecular conformation in the asymmetric unit. The series DCV[1]–DCV[4] demonstrated reversed solvatochromic behavior in toluene, chloroform, and acetonitrile.     

N‐{4‐Bromo‐2‐[(3‐bromo‐1‐phenylsulfonyl‐1H‐indol‐2‐yl)methyl]‐5‐methoxyphenyl}acetamide

In the title compound, C₂₄H₂₀Br₂N₂O₄S, the indole ring system is planar and the S atom has a distorted tetrahedral configuration. The sulfonyl‐bound phenyl ring is orthogonal to the indole ring system and the conformation of the phenyl­sulfonyl substituent with respect to the indole moiety is influenced by intramolecular C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds involving the two sulfonyl O atoms. The mean plane through the acetyl­amido group makes a dihedral angle of 57.0 (1)° with the phenyl ring of the benzyl moiety. In the crystal, glide‐related mol­ecules are linked together by N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds and C—H⃛π interactions to form molecular chains, which extend through the crystal. Inversion‐related chains are interlinked by C—H⃛π interactions to form molecular layers parallel to the bc plane. These layers are interconnected through π–π interactions involving the five‐ and six‐membered rings of the indole moiety.     

[2‐(Imidazol‐4‐yl)ethylamine]{[2‐(imidazol‐4‐yl)ethyl][(1‐methylimidazol‐2‐yl)methyl]amine}copper(II) diperchlorate

In the title mononuclear complex, [Cu(C₅H₉N₃)(C₁₀H₁₅N₅)](ClO₄)₂, the Cu^II centre is surrounded by two N‐donor ligands, which impose a square‐pyramidal environment on the metal. The new tridentate ligand [2‐(imidazol‐4‐yl)­ethyl]­[(1‐methyl­imidazol‐2‐yl)­methyl]­amine (HISMIMA) lies in the basal plane, while the hist­amine ligand occupies the apical and one of the basal positions around the Cu^II ion.     

The solid‐state emmissive chalcone (2E)‐1‐(5‐chlorothiophen‐2‐yl)‐3‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl]prop‐2‐en‐1‐one

Orange rectangular blocks suitable for X‐ray diffraction analysis were obtained for the previously reported [Ahmad & Bano (2011). Int. J. ChemTech Res. 3 , 1470–1478] title chalcone, C₁₅H₁₄ClNOS. This solid‐emissive chalcone exhibits a planar structure and the bond parameters are compared with related compounds already described in the literature. The determination of the structure of this chalcone is quite relevant because it will play an important role in theoretical calculations to investigate potential two‐photon absorption processes and could also be useful for studying the interaction of such compounds with a biological target.     

Hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking in 7‐{2‐[4‐(4‐methoxy­phen­yl)piperazin‐1‐yl]eth­oxy}‐4‐methyl‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one monohydrate

In the title compound, C₂₃H₂₆N₂O₄·H₂O, the benzopyran ring system is planar. The piperazine ring adopts an almost perfect chair conformation, and the meth­oxy group is coplanar with its parent benzene ring. Hydrogen bonds link two water mol­ecules and two piperazine mol­ecules into tetra­meric units. The adjacent benzopyran moieties within these units also inter­act viaπ–π stacking inter­actions, and a sheet is formed by the propagation of these inter­actions. The bioassay results have shown α₁‐adrenoceptor antagonistic activity through in vitro animal experiments.     

2‐{2‐[2‐(4‐Methoxybenzoyl)ethylamino]‐4‐nitroanilino}ethyl acetate: complex sheets built from five independent hydrogen bonds

The molecules of the title compound, C₂₀H₂₃N₃O₆, are almost completely planar, apart from the H atoms bonded to tetrahedral C atoms. A combination of five hydrogen bonds, one of the N—H...O type and two each of the C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) types, links the molecules into complex sheets.     

(Z)‐3‐(1‐Methyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐2‐(thio­phen‐3‐yl)­acrylo­nitrile
