N‐(2‐Amino­benz­yl)‐N,N‐bis­(quinolin‐2‐ylmeth­yl)amine

The title new diquinaldine derivative, C₂₇H₂₄N₄, forms mol­ecular assemblies organized by inter­molecular quinoline π–π stacking [3.356 (3) and 3.440 (3) Å] and both inter‐ and intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds [3.039 (3)–3.104 (3) Å and 129 (2)–172 (2)°]. The combination of such inter­actions provides readily definable contacts that propagate along each crystallographic axis.     

N‐(4‐Bi­phenyl­yl)­urea

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₂N₂O, N—H(anti)?O hydrogen bonds produce the so‐called urea α‐network and the N—H(syn) donor forms an unconventional N—H?π hydrogen bond.     

Salicylaldehyde 4,4′‐(hexane‐1,6‐di­yl)­thio­semicarbazone

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₉N₃OS, is in the thio­keto form, with the thione S and hydrazine N atoms cis with respect to each other so that the S atom is involved in inter‐ and intra­molecular hydrogen bonds simultaneously. Inter­molecular C—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in one‐dimensional polymeric chains of mol­ecules along the a axis. A weak C—H⋯π ring inter­action binds the polymeric chains together.     

X‐ray and DFT‐calculated structures of bis[N‐(quinolin‐8‐yl)benzamidato‐κ2N,N′]copper(II)

The application of transition metal chelates as chemotherapeutic agents has the advantage that they can be used as a scaffold around which ligands with DNA recognition elements can be anchored. The facile substitution of these components allows for the DNA recognition and binding properties of the metal chelates to be tuned. Copper is a particularly interesting choice for the development of novel metallodrugs as it is an endogenous metal and is therefore less toxic than other transition metals. The title compound, [Cu(C₁₆H₁₁N₂O)₂], was synthesized by reacting N‐(quinolin‐8‐yl)benzamide and the metal in a 2:1 ratio. Ligand coordination required deprotonation of the amide N—H group and the isolated complex is therefore neutral. The metal ion adopts a flattened tetrahedral coordination geometry with the ligands in a pseudo‐trans configuration. The free rotation afforded by the formal single bond between the amide group and phenyl ring allows the phenyl rings to rotate out‐of‐plane, thus alleviating nonbonded repulsion between the phenyl rings and the quinolyl groups within the complex. Weak C—H…O interactions stabilize a dimer in the solid state. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations at the PBE/6‐311G(dp) level of theory show that the solid‐state structure (C1 symmetry) is 79.33 kJ mol⁻¹ higher in energy than the lowest energy gas‐phase structure (C2 symmetry). Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis offers an explanation for the formation of the C—H…O interactions in electrostatic terms, but the stabilizing effect is insufficient to support the dimer in the gas phase.     

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.     

N,N′‐Bis(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide and N,N′‐bis­(3‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide

The mol­ecules of N,N′‐bis­(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­dicarboxamide, [Fe(C₁₂H₁₁N₂O)₂], contain intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and are linked into sheets by three independent C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecules of the isomeric compound N,N′‐bis­(3‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide lie across inversion centres, and the mol­ecules are linked into sheets by a combination of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions between pyridyl groups.     

N‐tert‐Butyl‐N′‐(5,7‐di­methyl‐1,8‐naphthyridin‐2‐yl)­urea

The title compound, C₁₅H₂₀N₄O, has been synthesized as an AADD recognition unit for quadruple hydrogen bonds. All non‐H atoms of the mol­ecule apart from two methyl groups of the tert‐butyl group lie in a common plane. An intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed connecting two N atoms. In the solid state, the title compound crystallizes as a centrosymmetric dimer connected by N—H?O=C interactions with an N?O distance of 2.824 (2) Å.     

Polymorphism in bipodal O,O′‐dimeth­yl N,N′‐(m‐phenyl­ene­di­carbonyl)bis(thio­carbamate)

The title compound, C₁₂H₁₂N₂O₄S₂, crystallizes in white and yellow polymeric forms as a result of inter­esting anti–anti and syn–anti conformational isomerism of the thio­carbon­yl and carbon­yl moieties relative to one another. This work is the first reported X‐ray crystallographic structure determination of isomers of this class of bipodal ligand. The white form, anti–anti, (I), crystallizes with the benzene ring lying about a twofold rotation axis, resulting in both of the thio­carbon­yl and carbon­yl moieties being anti relative to each other. The yellow modification crystallizes as syn–anti, (II), with one thio­carbon­yl moiety syn and the other anti relative to the respective carbon­yl groups. The individual mol­ecules of both (I) and (II) are extensively linked through inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. Inter­molecular hydrogen bonding in (II) includes a network of bifurcated N—H⋯O and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, while mol­ecules of (I) include bifurcated C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

2‐Benzoyl‐N‐phenyl‐2‐(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)­thio­acet­amide and 2‐(4‐methoxy­benzoyl)‐N‐phenyl‐2‐(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)­thio­acet­amide

In the two title compounds, C₁₇H₁₄N₄OS, (I), and C₁₈H₁₆N₄O₂S, (II), the dihedral angles between the planes of the triazole and N‐phenyl rings and the plane of five of the atoms that link these two rings are 63.5 (8) and 73.2 (6)° for (I), and 65.1 (1) and 72.1 (3)° for (II), respectively. There are some inter‐ and intramolecular interactions in the crystal structure.     

The synthesis of novel acetolactate synthase inhibitors,N‐(asymmetrically disubstituted phosphoryl)‐N′‐(4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidin‐2‐yl) ureas

In view of the isosterism of the sulfonyl group(‐SO₂‐) and the phosphoryl group, two new types of compounds N‐(N‐aryl‐O‐alkyl phosphoryl)‐N′‐(4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidin‐2‐yl) ureas (2) and N‐(N‐aryl‐N‐alkylphosphoryl)‐N′‐(4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidin‐2‐yl) ureas (3) were designed and synthesized by treating N‐(arylaminochlorophosphoryl)‐N′‐(4,6‐dimethoxypy‐rimidinyl‐2‐) ureas (4) with alcohols or amines. Compounds 4 were obtained by treating dichloro‐phosphoryl isocyanate with 4,6‐dimethoxy‐2‐amino‐pyrimidine and then with aromatic amines. The enzyme tests in vitro indicated that compounds 2 and 3 were two novel classes of acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors and also showed that phosphoryl groups[‐P(O)(OR)‐, R=alkyl] and [‐P(O)(NHR), R=alkyl] were likely to be good bioisosteres of the sulfonyl group (‐SO₂‐) in the sulfonylureas. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Exo conformers of N‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐ and N‐(pyridin‐3‐yl)norbornene‐5,6‐dicarboximide crystals

Two isomeric pyridine‐substituted norbornenedicarboximide derivatives, namely N‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐exo‐norbornene‐5,6‐dicarboximide, (I), and N‐(pyridin‐3‐yl)‐exo‐norbornene‐5,6‐dicarboximide, (II), both C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₄, have been crystallized and their structures unequivocally determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The molecules consist of norbornene moieties fused to a dicarboximide ring substituted at the N atom by either pyridin‐2‐yl or pyridin‐3‐yl in an anti configuration with respect to the double bond, thus affording exo isomers. In both compounds, the asymmetric unit consists of two independent molecules (Z′ = 2). In compound (I), the pyridine rings of the two independent molecules adopt different conformations, i.e. syn and anti, with respect to the methylene bridge. The intermolecular contacts of (I) are dominated by C—H...O interactions. In contrast, in compound (II), the pyridine rings of both molecules have an anti conformation and the two independent molecules are linked by carbonyl–carbonyl interactions, as well as by C—H...O and C—H...N contacts.     

Synthesis of novel N‐alkyl/aryl‐N′‐(4‐arylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐N″‐xylosyl guanidines

The reaction of 2,3,4‐tri‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐xylopyranosyl isothiocyanate ( 1 ) and 2‐amino‐4‐arylthiazoles ( 2 ) gave xylosylthioureas 3 . These thiourea derivatives reacted with alkyl/aryl amine in the presence of HgCl₂ to give a new series of N‐alkyl/aryl‐N″‐(4‐arylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐N″‐xylosyl guanidines 4 . Some of the synthesized guanidines were screened for their biological activity. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Bis[μ‐N,N′‐bis(quinolin‐8‐yl)pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxamido]dizinc(II) dichloromethane disolvate

The title compound, [Zn₂(C₂₅H₁₅N₅O₂)₂]·2CH₂Cl₂, is a dinuclear double‐helical complex which lies on a crystallographic twofold axis. In the complex, both ligands are partitioned into two tridentate domains which allow each ligand to bridge both metal centres. Each Zn^II atom is six‐coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment formed by two amide N atoms, two quinoline N atoms and two pyridine N atoms from two different ligand molecules, with the central pyridine ring, unusually, bridging two Zn^II atoms. The deprotonated ligand is not planar, the amide side chains being considerably twisted out from the plane of the central pyridine ring.     

N‐(4‐Methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐N′‐(2‐pyridyl)­hydrazine

Molecules of the title compound (alternative name p‐methoxybenzaldehyde 2‐pyridyl­hydrazone), C₁₃H₁₃N₃O, adopt an E configuration about the azomethine C=N double bond. Molecules are almost planar, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and methoxy­phenyl rings being only 6.19 (12)°. Pairwise N—H⃛N hydrogen bonds [R(8) in graph‐set notation] link centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules into discrete pairs.

Hexanuclear Wheel‐Shaped Lithium N‐(2,6‐Diisopropylphenyl)‐N′‐(2‐pyridylethyl)benzamidinate

Lithiation of N‐(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐N′‐(2‐pyridylethyl)benzamidine ( 1 ) with LiN(SiMe₃)₂ in a solvent mixture of toluene and TMEDA yields hexameric lithium N‐(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐N′‐(2‐pyridylethyl)benzamidinate ( 2 ), which can be purified by recrystallization from a solvent mixture of toluene and THF. The three‐coordinate lithium ions have T‐shaped coordination spheres. The negative charge is delocalized within the 1,3‐diazaallylic system, which adopts a (syn‐Z)‐arrangement.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of some new N‐(substituted phenyl)‐N′‐[2,3‐dihydro‐2‐oxido‐3‐(4′‐fluorophenyl)‐1H‐(1,3,2)benzoxazaphosphorin 2‐yl]ureas

Substituted benzoxazaphosphorin 2‐yl ureas were synthesized by reacting 2‐(4‐fluoro‐phenylamino)‐methylphenol (4) with different carbamidophosphoric acid dichlorides (3) in the presence of triethylamine in dry toluene at 45‐50 °C and characterized by spectral data. These compounds were found to possess good antimicrobial activity.     

N‐Germyl derivatives of sulfacetamide and ortho‐(sulfonamido)phenylamines: characterization of N‐[o‐(N′,N′‐dimethylsulfonamido)phenyl]‐N‐dimesitylgermaimine

Triethylgermylation of sulfacetamide occurs on the sulfonamido nitrogen in competition with the 1,2 addition of the starting triethylgermyl dimethylamine on the carbonyl group. Thermal decomposition in the presence of dimethylamine yields N‐triethylgermylsulfanilamide. Stable 1:1 sulfacetamide–DBU and 1:1 sulfacetamide–Et₃N complexes were isolated and fully characterized in the course of dehydrochlorination reactions. o‐Sulfonamidophenylamine yields N,N′‐bis‐triethylgermylated derivatives, whereas o‐(N,N‐dimethylsulfonamido)phenylamine leads to monogermylated compounds. The N‐dimethylaminodimesitylgermyl derivative is thermally stable. Dehydrohalogenation of the N‐dimesitylfluorogermyl compound leads to the thermally stable but water sensitive N‐[o‐(N′,N′‐dimethylsulfonamido)phenyl]‐N‐dimesitylgermaimine.

N‐Meth­yl‐N‐(2‐nitro­phen­yl)nitramine and N‐meth­yl‐N‐(3‐nitro­phen­yl)­nitramine

The structures of the two title isomeric compounds (systematic names: N‐meth­yl‐N,2‐dinitro­aniline and N‐meth­yl‐N,3‐di­nitro­aniline, both C₇H₇N₃O₄) are slightly different because they exhibit different steric hindrances and hydrogen‐bonding environments. The aromatic rings are planar. The –N(Me)NO₂ and –NO₂ groups are not coplanar with the rings. Comparison of the geometric parameters of the ortho, meta and para isomers together with those of N‐meth­yl‐N‐phenyl­nitramine suggests that the position of the nitro group has a strong influence on the aromatic ring distortion. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to the nitramine group.
