Molecular Structure and Conformational Composition of 1-[(Methylthio)methyl]-2-nitrobenzene (MTMNB): A Theoretical and Experimental Study

The conformational composition of gaseous MTMNB and the molecular structures of the rotational forms have been studied by electron diffraction at 130^∘C aided by results from ab initio and density functional theory calculations. The conformational potential energy surface has been investigated by using the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method. As a result, six minimum-energy conformers have been identified. Geometries of all conformers were optimized using MP2/6-31G(d,p), B3LYP/6-31G(d,p), and B3LYP/cc-pVTZ methods. These calculations resulted in accurate geometries, relative energies, and harmonic vibrational frequencies for all conformers. The B3LYP/cc-pVTZ energies were then used to calculate the Boltzmann distribution of conformers. The best fit of the electron diffraction data to calculated values was obtained for the six conformer model, in agreement with the theoretical predictions. Average parameter values (r_a in angstroms, angle α in degrees, and estimated total errors given in parentheses) weighted for the mixture of six conformers are r(C–C) = 1.507(5), r(C–C)_{ring, av} = 1.397(3), r(C–S)_av = 1.814(4), r(C–N) = 1.495(4), r(N–O)_av = 1.223(3), ∠(C–C–C)_ring = 116.0–122.5, ∠ C6–C4–C7 = 118.2(4), ∠ C–C–S = 113.6(6), ∠ C–S–C = 98.5(12), ∠ N–C–C4 = 121.9(3), ∠(O–N–C)_av = 116.8(3), ∠ O–N–O = 127.0(4). Torsional angles could not be refined. Theoretical B3LYP/cc-pVTZ torsional angles for the rotation about C–N bond, φ_C−N, were found to be 30.5–36.5^∘ for different conformers. As to internal rotation about C–C and C–S bonds, values of φ_C−C = 68–118^∘ and φ_C−S = 66–71^∘ were obtained for the three most stable conformers with gauche orientation with respect to these bonds. Some conclusions of this work were presented in a short communication in Russ. J. Phys. Chem. 2005, 79, 1701.

Crystal and molecular structure of 3-(2-amino-pyridinium)-propionate monohydrate

A novel betaine derivative, 3-(2-amino-pyridinium)-propionate monohydrate, has been synthesized and its structure studied by X-ray diffraction, FTIR, Raman, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies and by DFT calculations. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c with a=8.0800(16), b=15.242(3), c=7.1698(14) Å, β=104.30(3)° and Z=4.

Synthesis,NMR, and Computational Study of 1,2-Diethyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopropenylium Hexachloroantimonate

Preparation and ¹³C NMR identification of 1,2-diethyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopropenylium hexachloroantimonate (4) is described. The assignment of the NMR data was corroborated by calculating ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of the corresponding model ion 4M. The total stabilization of the parent cyclopropenylium ion 1 substituted by the silyl and the two methyl groups is found to be only slightly lower than stabilization of the trimethyl derivative. The computed NICS(1) parameters reveal that all of the examined ions possess substantial aromatic character.     

Synthesis and characterization of oligo-4-[(pyridin-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol

The oxidative polycondensation of 4-[(pyridin-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol (4-PIMP) with O₂, H₂O₂, and NaOCl was studied in an aqueous alkaline medium between 50°C and 90°C. Oligo-4-[(pyridin-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol (O-4-PIMP) prepared was characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, FT-IR, UV-VIS, size-exclusion chromatography, and elemental and thermal analyses techniques. At the optimum reaction conditions, the yield of O-4-PIMP was 18.9%, 39.4%, and 46.8% using H₂O₂, O₂, and NaOCl oxidant, respectively. According to the TG analysis, the initial degradation temperature of O-4-PIMP was 218°C, which was by 50°C higher than that of 4-PIMP. Thermal analyses of 4-PIMP and O-4-PIMP were carried out in N₂ atmosphere at 15–1000°C. The highest occupied molecular orbital, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, and electrochemical energy gaps of 4-PIMP and O-4-PIMP were determined from the onset potentials for n-doping and p-doping, respectively. Also, optical band gaps of 4-PIMP and O-4-PIMP were determined according to UV-VIS measurements.     

Enamine Configuration of 5-Methyl-2-phenyl-4-[（Z）-3-tolylamino-phenylmethylene]pyrazol-3（2H）-one

1 INTRODUCTION In contrast to the old-line academic and practical studies of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazo- lone (PMBP) on the metal coordination chemistry[1], the complexes of β-ketoamines derivated from PMBP received little attention due to its complicated com- plexation.

Simple and highly predictive QSAR method: application to a series of (S)-N-[(1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]-6-methoxybenzamides

A simple quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) method of analysis used to predict biological activity for congeneric series of compounds is reported. This method is based on the application of bilinear or multilinear partial least squares regression to a data set, which is a binary matrix representing the substituents of a framework. It is appraised here to a series of (S)-N-[(1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]-6-methoxybenzamides, compounds with affinity towards the dopamine D₂ receptor subtype and showed high predictive ability, even when compared to a refined three-dimensional (3D) approach.

NMR study of diastereoisomerism of 2-(1-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and its hydrochloride (deitiforin)

The assignment of the signals for the H and C atoms of four diastereomers (without their separation) of 2-(1-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (1) and its hydrochloride (2) (the antiviral drug deitiforin) was performed for the first time by two-dimensional ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The effects of the substituent at position 2 of norbornane on the chemical shifts of the -, -, and -carbon atoms of the bicycle were examined using the increments for alkanes. The changes in the chemical shifts of the C(6) and C(7) atoms are substantially larger than those for the other C atoms, which made it possible to identify the exo and endo forms. Each of these forms exists as a mixture of two diastereomers. The effect of the positive charge of the N atom on the -protons, which are closely spaced, but separated by a number of covalent bonds, was considered on going from amine 1 to hydrochloride 2. Based on significant changes in shielding of these H atoms, the configurations of the asymmetric center in the CHMe(NH₂) substituent of the diastereomers were established.
