{4(S)‐(Piperidin‐1‐ylcarbonyl)‐4‐[3‐(trifluoro­methyl)phenylsulfon­amido]butyl}guanidinium chloride: a model of a graftable thrombin inhibitor

In the title compound, C₁₈H₂₇F₃N₅O₃S⁺·Cl⁻, the guanidine group forms N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, with four N⋯Cl distances in the range 3.164 (3)–3.337 (4) Å. In the crystal packing, the cations are further linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O inter­actions. The structure is compared with that of argatroban complexed with thrombin and is the subject of docking studies in the active site of thrombin.     

The diastereoisomers 2‐[(S/R)‐2‐chloro‐3‐quinolyl]‐2‐[(R)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)ethylamino]acetonitrile at 100 K

In the structures of the two enantiopure diastereoisomers of the title compound, C₂₀H₁₈ClN₃O, which crystallize in different space groups, the molecules are very similar as far as bond distances and angles are concerned, but more substantial differences are observed in some torsion angles. The crystal structures of both molecules can be described as zigzag layers along the c axis. The packing is stabilized by hydrogen‐bond interactions of N—H...O, C—H...Cl and C—H...π types for 2‐[(R)‐2‐chloro‐3‐quinolyl]‐2‐[(R)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)ethylamino]acetonitrile, and of N—H...N, C—H...O and C—H...π types for 2‐[(S)‐2‐chloro‐3‐quinolyl]‐2‐[(R)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)ethylamino]acetonitrile, resulting in the formation of two‐ and three‐dimensional networks.     

2‐Ethyl‐1‐[5‐(4‐methylphenyl)pyrazol‐3‐yl]‐3‐(thiophene‐2‐carbonyl)isothiourea: molecular ribbons containing three types of hydrogen‐bonded ring

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₈N₄OS₂, was prepared by reaction of S,S‐diethyl 2‐thenoylimidodithiocarbonate with 5‐amino‐3‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazole using microwave irradiation under solvent‐free conditions. In the molecule, the thiophene unit is disordered over two sets of atomic sites, with occupancies of 0.814 (4) and 0.186 (4), and the bonded distances provide evidence for polarization in the acylthiourea fragment and for aromatic type delocalization in the pyrazole ring. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond is present, forming an S(6) motif, and molecules are linked by N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form a ribbon in which centrosymmetric R₂²(4) rings, built from N—H...O hydrogen bonds and flanked by inversion‐related pairs of S(6) rings, alternate with centrosymmetric R₂²(6) rings built from N—H...N hydrogen bonds.     

3‐[5‐(4‐Chlorophenyl)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl]propionic acid and the corresponding methyl ester

The synthesis of 3‐[5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl]propionic acid, C₁₉H₁₇ClN₂O₃, (I), and its corresponding methyl ester, methyl 3‐[5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl]propionate, C₂₀H₁₉ClN₂O₃, (II), is regiospecific. However, correct identification of the regioisomer formed by spectroscopic techniques is not trivial and single‐crystal X‐ray analysis provided the only means of unambiguous structure determination. Compound (I) crystallizes with Z′ = 2. The propionic acid groups of the two crystallographically unique molecules form a hydrogen‐bonded dimer, as is typical of carboxylic acid groups in the solid state. Conformational differences between the methoxybenzene and pyrazole rings give rise to two unique molecules. The structure of (II) features just one molecule in the asymmetric unit and the crystal packing makes greater use than (I) of weak C—H...A interactions, despite the lack of any functional groups for classical hydrogen bonding.     

Transformations of Methyl 2‐[(E)‐2‐(Dimethylamino)‐1‐(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]‐1‐methyl‐1H‐indole‐3‐carboxylate

A simple and efficient synthesis of novel 2‐heteroaryl‐substituted 1H‐indole‐2‐carboxylates and γ‐carbolines, compounds 1 – 3 , from methyl 2‐(2‐methoxy‐2‐oxoethyl)‐1‐methyl‐1H‐indole‐3‐carboxylate ( 4 ) by the enaminone methodology is presented.     

基于1,2-二氢-2-(4-羧基苯基-4-[4-(4-羧基苯氧基)-3-甲基苯基](2H)二氮杂萘-1-酮的新型芳香聚酰胺的简易合成

A new monomer diacid, 1,2-dihydro-2-(4-carboxylphenyl)-4-[4-(4-carboxylphenoxy)-3-methylphenyl]phtha-lazin-1-one (3), was synthesized through the aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of a readily available unsymmetrical phthalazinone 1 bisphenol-like with p-chlorobenzonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylacetamide and alkaline hydrolysis. The diacid could be directly polymerized with various aromatic diamines 4a-4e using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents to give five new aromatic poly(ether amide)s 5a-5e containing the kink non-coplanar heterocyclic units with inherent viscosities of 1.30-1.54 dL/g.The polymers were readily soluble in a variety of solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethyl-acetamide (DMA), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), and even in m-cresol and pyridine (Py). The transparent, flexible and tough films could be formed by solution casting. The glass transition tem-peratures Tg were in the range of 286-317℃.     

3‐[4‐(4‐Fluoro­phenyl)­piperazin‐1‐yl­methyl]‐5‐methyl‐1,3‐benzoxazol‐2(3H)‐one and 3‐[4‐(2‐fluoro­phenyl)­piperazin‐1‐yl­methyl]‐5‐methyl‐1,3‐benzoxazol‐2(3H)‐one

The title compounds, both C₁₉H₂₀FN₃O₂, contain essentially planar benzoxazolinone ring systems, within which the C—N bond distances and angles do not differ significantly between the two compounds. In both cases, the piperazine ring adopts an almost perfect chair conformation and the benzoxazo­l­inone ring system lies nearly perpendicular to it. The structures contain intermolecular C—H⋯O contacts, and the interactions between the benzoxazolinone and fluoro­phenyl­piperazine portions of the mol­ecules are segregated.     

1‐(1H‐Indol‐3‐ylcarbonyl)‐N‐(4‐methoxy­benzyl)formamide

In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₆N₂O₃, the indole ring is planar and the two adjacent carbonyl groups are mutually trans oriented with a torsion angle of 144.8 (3)°. The single C—C bond linking the two carbonyl functionalities is 1.539 (4) Å. Mol­ecules are linked into a two‐dimensional network by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

Hydrogen‐bonded sheet structures in methyl 4‐(4‐chloroanilino)‐3‐nitrobenzoate and methyl 1‐benzyl‐2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐5‐carboxylate

In methyl 4‐(4‐chloroanilino)‐3‐nitrobenzoate, C₁₄H₁₁ClN₂O₄, (I), there is an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond and the intramolecular distances provide evidence for electronic polarization of the o‐quinonoid type. The molecules are linked into sheets built from N—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds, together with an aromatic π–π stacking interaction. The molecules of methyl 1‐benzyl‐2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐5‐carboxylate, C₂₂H₁₇ClN₂O₂, (II), are also linked into sheets, this time by a combination of C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions.     

α‐Haloketal (1′R,4S,5S)‐dimethyl 2‐(1′‐bromoethyl)‐2‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐1,3‐dioxolane‐4,5‐dicarboxylate

The crystal structure and absolute configuration of the title compound, C₁₇H₂₁BrO₈, have been determined by X‐ray analysis. They confirmed the 1′R absolute configuration at the 1′‐bromoethyl moiety which has been assigned previously on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic data. Cohesion of the crystal can be attributed to weak intermolecular C—H?O and van der Waals interactions.     

Ethyl β‐{2‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyliminomethyl]‐1‐(phenylsulfonyl)indol‐3‐yl}acrylate

The title compound, C₂₈H₂₇N₃O₄S, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P2₁/n, with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. In the indole ring, the dihedral angle between the fused rings is 3.6 (1)°. The phenyl ring of the sulfonyl substituent makes a dihedral angle of 79.2 (1)° with the best plane of the indole moiety. The phenyl ring of the di­methyl­amino­phenyl group is orthogonal to the phenyl ring of the phenyl­sulfonyl group. The dihedral angle formed by the weighted least‐squares planes through the pyrrole ring and the phenyl ring of the di­methyl­amino­phenyl group is 7.8 (1)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by C—H?O and C—H?N interactions.

4‐[2‐(3‐Methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]‐N‐methylpyridinium tetraphenylborate

In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₆NO⁺·C₂₄H₂₀B⁻, the pyridinium ring of the cation makes a dihedral angle of 4.3 (2)° with the benzene ring. Each is rotated in the same direction with respect to the central C—CH=CH—C linkage, by 10.0 (2) and 7.8 (2)°, respectively. The anions have a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The most interesting feature of the structure is that the anions form a honeycomb‐like hexagonal structure down the b axis through C—H...π interactions. The hexagon is constructed from six BPh₄⁻ anions. The cations interact in a head‐to‐tail fashion along [010], forming chains, and pack antiparallel inside the above honeycomb‐like structure through C—H...π interactions.     

(−)‐(1R,2S,2′R,5R)‐2‐(1‐Hydroxyprop‐2‐yl)‐5‐methylcyclohexanol

Stereoselective hydroboration of (?)‐isopulegol and subsequent fractional crystallization furnishes the title compound, C₁₀H₂₀O₂. The relative configuration of the stereogenic centres has been assigned by means of X‐ray diffraction analysis since the monoterpenediol is employed as a versatile chiral building block in stereospecific natural product synthesis.     

Dimers linked by type‐I C—F...F—C contacts in (Z)‐3‐methyl‐4‐[2‐(4‐methylphenyl)hydrazinylidene]‐1‐(pentafluorophenyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐5(4H)‐one

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₁F₅N₄O, is described and compared with two closely related analogues in the literature. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions into dimeric entities, presenting a noticeable noncrystallographic C₂ symmetry. These dimers are in turn linked by a medium‐strength type‐I C—F...F—C interaction into elongated tetramers. Much weaker C—H...F contacts link the tetramers into broad two‐dimensional substructures parallel to (101).     

(1R,2R)‐2‐(4‐Methylenecyclohex‐2‐enyl)propyl (1R,4S)‐camphanate

Esterification of a single diastereomer of 2‐(4‐methylene­cyclohex‐2‐enyl)propanol, (II), with (1R,4S)‐(+)‐camphanic acid [(1R,4S)‐4,7,7‐trimethyl‐3‐oxo‐2‐oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane‐1‐carboxylic acid] leads to the crystalline title compound, C₂₀H₂₈O₄. The relative configuration of the camphanate was determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The outcome clarifies the relative and absolute stereochemistry of the naturally occurring bisabolane sesquiterpenes β‐turmerone and β‐sesquiphellandrene, since we have converted (II) into both natural products via a stereospecific route.     

(1R,2S)‐2‐[N‐Methyl‐N‐(4‐toluene­sulfonyl)amino]‐1‐phenylpropan‐1‐ol

In the title compound, C₁₇H₂₁NO₃S, the S atom is in a distorted tetrahedral geometry and the N atom exhibits sp² character. The antiperiplanar conformation is observed for the N and hydroxyl‐O atoms and the torsion angle around the N—C linkage is ?136.3 (2)°. The mol­ecules are linked by O—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form an infinite one‐dimensional chains along the c axis.
