Weak C—H...O and C—H...π hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions in a series of four N′‐[(E)‐(aryl)methylidene]‐N‐methyl‐2‐oxo‐1,3‐oxazolidine‐4‐carbohydrazides

Oxazolidin‐2‐ones are widely used as protective groups for 1,2‐amino alcohols and chiral derivatives are employed as chiral auxiliaries. The crystal structures of four differently substituted oxazolidinecarbohydrazides, namely N′‐[(E)‐benzylidene]‐N‐methyl‐2‐oxo‐1,3‐oxazolidine‐4‐carbohydrazide, C₁₂H₁₂N₃O₃, (I), N′‐[(E)‐2‐chlorobenzylidene]‐N‐methyl‐2‐oxo‐1,3‐oxazolidine‐4‐carbohydrazide, C₁₂H₁₂ClN₃O₃, (II), (4S)‐N′‐[(E)‐4‐chlorobenzylidene]‐N‐methyl‐2‐oxo‐1,3‐oxazolidine‐4‐carbohydrazide, C₁₂H₁₂ClN₃O₃, (III), and (4S)‐N′‐[(E)‐2,6‐dichlorobenzylidene]‐N,3‐dimethyl‐2‐oxo‐1,3‐oxazolidine‐4‐carbohydrazide, C₁₃H₁₃Cl₂N₃O₃, (IV), show that an unexpected mild‐condition racemization from the chiral starting materials has occurred in (I) and (II). In the extended structures, the centrosymmetric phases, which each crystallize with two molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit, form A+B dimers linked by pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, albeit with different O‐atom acceptors. One dimer is composed of one molecule with an S configuration for its stereogenic centre and the other with an R configuration, and possesses approximate local inversion symmetry. The other dimer consists of either R,R or S,S pairs and possesses approximate local twofold symmetry. In the chiral structure, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into C(5) chains, with adjacent molecules related by a 2₁ screw axis. A wide variety of weak interactions, including C—H...O, C—H...Cl, C—H...π and π–π stacking interactions, occur in these structures, but there is little conformity between them.     

C—H...O hydrogen‐bonding and C—H...π interactions in 3‐(4‐fluorophenyl)‐1,5,7‐trimethyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydropyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2,4‐dione

In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₄FN₃O₂, a diverse set of weak intermolecular C—H...π, π–π and C—H...O interactions link the molecules into sheets. The C—H...O interactions generate centrosymmetric rings with a graph‐set motif of R₂²(14) and chains with a C(8) motif.     

A mixed crystal of imperatorin and phellopterin,with C—H...O,C—H...π and π–π interactions

The crystal structure of 9‐(3‐methyl­but‐2‐enyl­oxy)­‐7H‐furo­[3,2‐g]­chro­men‐7‐one–4‐methoxy‐9‐(3‐methyl­but‐2‐enyl­oxy)‐7H‐­furo­[3,2‐g]­chromen‐7‐one (0.926/0.074), 0.926C₁₆H₁₄O₄·0.074C₁₇H₁₆O₅, is characterized by two independent imperatorin mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, which exhibit different side‐chain conformations.

2‐tert‐Butyl‐5‐methyl‐7,8‐dihydro‐6H‐cyclopenta[e]pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine: molecular stacks built from C—H...π(pyrazole) hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions

In the title compound, C₁₄H₁₉N₃, the bond distances within the heterocyclic portion of the molecule indicate incomplete π delocalization. The molecules are linked into stacks by a combination of two C—H...π(pyrazole) hydrogen bonds and two independent π–π stacking interactions between inversion‐related pyrimidine rings. The significance of this study lies in its observation of significant differences in both molecular conformation and supramolecular aggregation between the title compound, an example of a 2‐alkylpyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine, and some analogous 2‐arylpyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines.

2‐Cyano‐N‐(4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidin‐2‐yl)acetamide: complex sheets built from N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds

Molecules of the title compound, C₉H₁₀N₄O₃, (I), are linked into complex sheets by a combination of one N—H...O hydrogen bond and two C—H...O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C₂₉H₃₅ClN₄O₂, the bond lengths provide evidence for aromatic delocalization in the pyrazole ring but bond fixation in the fused imidazole ring, and the octyl chain is folded, rather than adopting an all‐trans chain‐extended conformation. A combination of N—H...N, C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds links the molecules into sheets, in which the hydrogen bonds occupy the central layer with the tert‐butyl and octyl groups arranged on either side, such that the closest contacts between adjacent sheets involve only the octyl groups. Comparisons are made with the supramolecular assembly in some simpler analogues.     

Intermolecular C—H...π interactions in 1,5‐diphenyl‐3‐(2‐pyridyl)‐2‐pyrazoline

The title compound, C₂₀H₁₇N₃, is a derivative of 1,3,5‐triaryl‐2‐pyrazoline and can act as an N,N′‐bidentate ligand. This molecule features strong fluorescence that can be explained by an extended pyridyl–C=N—N–phenyl system. The three‐dimensional structure is formed by means of an extended network of weak C—H...π hydrogen bonds supported by π–π interactions.     

7‐Amino‐5‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐6‐(phenyldiazenyl)pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine crystallizes with Z′ = 2: pseudosymmetry and the formation of complex sheets built from N—H...N and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds

The title compound, C₁₉H₁₆N₆, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group P2₁/n. The two molecules in the selected asymmetric unit are approximate mirror images of one another; most corresponding pairs of atoms are related by an approximate half‐cell translation along [100]. Each molecule contains an intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond and the molecules are linked into complex sheets by a combination of two intermolecular N—H...N and four C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. Comparisons are made with some other 7‐aminopyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines.     

4‐Methoxy‐1‐naphthol: chains formed by O—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions

The structure of 4‐methoxy‐1‐naphthol, C₁₁H₁₀O₂, (I), contains an intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond which links the molecules into a simple C(2) chain running parallel to the shortest crystallographic b axis. This chain is reinforced by intermolecular π–π stacking interactions. Comparisons are drawn between the crystal structure of (I) and those of several of its simple analogues, including 1‐naphthol and some monosubstituted derivatives, and that of its isomer 7‐methoxy‐2‐naphthol. This comparison shows a close similarity in the packing of the molecules of its simple analogues that form π‐stacks along the shortest crystallographic axes. A substantial spatial overlap is observed between adjacent molecules in such stacks. In this group of monosubstituted naphthols, the overlap depends mainly on the position of the substituents carried by the naphthalene moiety, and the extent of the overlap depends on the substituent type. By contrast with (I), in the crystal structure of the isomeric 7‐methoxy‐2‐naphthol there are no O—H...O hydrogen bonds or π–π stacking interactions, and sheets are formed by O—H...π and C—H...π interactions.     

Inter‐ and intramolecular C—H...π interactions in morphine bis­(1‐naph­tho­ate)

The crystal structure of morphine bis­(1‐naph­tho­ate) [or 7,8‐di­de­hydro‐4,5‐epoxy‐17‐methyl­morphinan‐2,6‐diyl bis­(naph­thal­ene‐1‐carboxyl­ate)], C₃₉H₃₁NO₅, determined at 123 K, shows extensive C—H...π interactions in the crystal lattice. Of particular interest is an intramolecular C—H...π interaction within the unit cell between the two naphthoyl groups. Comparison of the opiate scaffolds of morphine bis­(1‐naph­tho­ate) and morphine shows only a small increase in strain due to the steric bulk of the naphthoyl groups. The crystal packing shows distinct areas of packing for the naphthalene/aromatic groups and the opiate backbone. Extensive inter‐ and intramolecular C—H...π interactions lead to a densely packed aromatic region in the crystal lattice.     

π‐stacking and C—X...D (X = H,NO2; D = O, π) interactions in the crystal network of both C—H...N and π‐stacked dimers of 1,2‐bis(4‐bromophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole and 2‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐1‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole

Molecules of 1,2‐bis(4‐bromophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole, C₁₉H₁₂Br₂N₂, (I), and 2‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐1‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole, C₁₉H₁₂BrN₃O₂, (II), are arranged in dimeric units through C—H...N and parallel‐displaced π‐stacking interactions favoured by the appropriate disposition of N‐ and C‐bonded phenyl rings with respect to the mean benzimidazole plane. The molecular packing of the dimers of (I) and (II) arises by the concurrence of a diverse set of weak intermolecular C—X...D (X = H, NO₂; D = O, π) interactions.
