Molecular structure of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridinium bromide

X-ray diffraction, structural analysis was employed to establish the structure of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridinium bromide, C₇H₁₀NO⁺-Br^–. The plane of the pyridinium ring is twisted by 93 relative to the C-C bond of the side-chain. The N-C-C-O torsion angle is 63.6. The OH bond is oriented toward the heteroaromatic ring. The H-O-C-C torsion angle is 84.4. The molecular packing in the crystal lattice is such that the bromide ions are found between the heteroaromatic rings and the hydrogen bonded to the hydroxyl groups.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2617–2619, November, 1990.     

Crystal and molecular structure of 1-ferrocenyl-r-3,t-5-diphenyl-c-4-(1-ferrocenylvinyl)-1-cyclohexene

X-ray diffraction has been used to establish the crystal and molecular structure of one diastereoisomer of 1-ferrocenyl-3,5-diphenyl-4-(1-ferrocenylvinyl)-1-cyclohexene. This diastereoisomer, formed in the greatest amounts in the protoncatalyzed cyclodimerization of 1-phenyl-3-ferrocenyl-1,3-butadiene, is shown to have the r-3, c-4, t-5 configuration of the exocyclic substituents.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1216–1220, May, 1991.     

Synthesis,structure, and properties of 1-(p-R-phenacyl)-2-(p-methoxybenzylamino)pyridinium bromides

We have synthesized 2-(p-methoxybenzylamino)-1-(p-R phenacyl)pyridinium bromides by alkylation of 2-R-(Pmethoxybenzylamino)pyridine with substituted phenacyl bromides. Using spectral methods we have shown that the title compounds exist in the form of 1, 2-diaryl-2-hydroxy-2, 3-dihydroimidazo[l, 2-alpyridinium salts. We have studied their properties and suggest an alternative synthesis route.T. G.

A study of the OH- -induced beta-elimination reactions of 2-(4-chloroethyl)pyridine, 2-(2-chloroethyl)pyridine, 1-methyl-2-(4-chloroethyl)pyridinium iodide and 1-methyl-2-(2-chloroethyl)pyridinium iodide in acetonitrile/water

Second-order rate constants have been determined for the title reactions in OH(-)/H(2)O and in OH(-)/ (CH(3)CN/H(2)O) [30/70, 60/40, and 85/15 (v/v) mixtures]. A relatively small increase in reactivity is observed for the four substrates upon increasing the percentage of CH(3)CN in the solvent mixture. The methyl activating factors (/) are also slightly affected by the solvent composition. On the other hand, the high acceleration of the reaction by methylation of the pyridine ring amounts to 10(4)-10(6) according to an E1cb mechanism.     

Synthesis,nature of electronic transitions,and absorption spectra of the dye based on 4-(methyl-1-{2-[4-(1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)phenyl]-2-oxoethyl}pyridinium bromide

The reaction of 3-(4-bromoacetylphenyl)-1-methylquinolin-2(1Н)-one with pyridine and 4-methylpyridine has afforded the corresponding pyridinium salts. Condensation of 4-methyl-1-{2-[4-(1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)phenyl]-2-oxoethyl}pyridinium bromide with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde has given a new biscyanine dye, 1-{1-[4-(1,2-dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-3-quinolinyl)benzoyl]-2-[4-(dimethylamino)-phenyl]ethynyl}-4-{2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]ethynyl}pyridinium bromide. Its electronic spectrum has been analyzed, and quantum-chemical simulation of spatial and electronic structure of its possible isomers has been performed.     

A Novel Molecule: 1-(2,6 Dichlorobenzyl)-4-(2-(2-4-hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazinyl)pyridinium Chloride and its Interaction with DNA

Herein, a novel pyridine derivative, 1-(2,6 dichlorobenzyl)-4-(2-(2-4-hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-pyridinium chloride (DHPC), was synthesized as a candidate drug molecule. Interaction of DHPC with DNA was used to explore its effect on DNA via Differential Pulse Voltammetry, Cyclic Voltammetry, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. We demonstrated that oxidation signal of guanine bases of DNA decreased significantly while that of DHPC increased after its interaction with one another. Our candidate drug molecule exhibits LOD and LOQ, e.g., 1.5 μg/mL and 4.9 μg/mL, respectively. Toxicity effect value for DHPC (S%) was calculated as %31, demonstrating the candidate drug molecule's toxic effect on DNA.     

The crystal structure of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methylbenzoyl)thiourea

1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methylbenzoyl)thiourea was synthesized and characterized by IR,¹H and ¹³C NMR, mass spectroscopy and the elemental analysis. The crystal structure was confirmed from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with unit cell dimensions a=12.038(3), b=6.330(6), c=18.912(5) Å and β=100.32(3)°. There is a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond of the type N?H...O, with distance N1...O1=2.659(3) Å. The structure is composed of dimers related by inversion centers. The dimers are formed by intermolecular interactions of the type N?H...S with N...S separation of 3.440(2) Å. The mass fragmentation pattern has also been discussed.
