Two N‐substituted 3,5‐diphenyl‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thiocarboxamides

The structures of N‐ethyl‐3‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)‐5‐(4‐methoxy­phen­yl)‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thio­carboxamide, C₁₉H₂₀FN₃OS, (I), and 3‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)‐N‐methyl‐5‐(4‐methyl­phen­yl)‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thio­carboxamide, C₁₈H₁₈FN₃S, (II), have similar geometric parameters. The meth­oxy/methyl‐substituted phenyl groups are almost perpendicular to the pyrazoline (pyraz) ring [inter­planar angles of 89.29 (8) and 80.39 (10)° for (I) and (II), respectively], which is coplanar with the fluoro­phenyl ring [inter­planar angles of 5.72 (9) and 10.48 (10)°]. The pyrazoline ring approximates an envelope conformation in both structures, with the two‐coordinate N atom involved in an intra­molecular N—H⋯N_pyraz inter­action. In (I), N—H⋯O and C—H⋯S inter­molecular hydrogen bonds are the primary inter­actions, whereas in (II), there are no intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

N‐(3H‐Thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine and N‐methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine

The geometries of the thia­zole ring and the nitr­amino groups in N‐(3H‐thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine, C₃H₃N₃O₂S, (I), and N‐­methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine, C₄H₅N₃O₂S, (II), are very similar. The nitr­amine group in (II) is planar and twisted along the C—N bond with respect to the thia­zole ring. In both structures, the asymmetric unit includes two practically equal mol­ecules. In (I), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers connected to each other by N—H⋯N and much weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure of (II), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers bound to each other by both weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and S⋯O dipolar interactions.     

6‐(2‐Hydro­xy­benzoyl)‐5‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐3H‐pyrrolizine

The title compound, 2‐hydroxy­phenyl 5‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐3H‐pyrrolizin‐6‐yl ketone, C₁₈H₁₄N₂O₂, was isolated from the base‐catalyzed 1:2 condensation of 2‐hydroxy­aceto­phenone with pyrrole‐2‐carbaldehyde. The pyrrole N—H and hydroxy­benzoyl O—H groups are hydrogen bonded to the benzoyl O atom. The allyl­ic C=C double bond of the 3H‐pyrrolizine system is located between ring positions 1 and 2, the C atom at position 3 (adjacent to the N atom) being single bonded.     

Self‐assembly of 2‐pivaloyl‐6‐chloro­pterin

In the title compound, N‐(6‐chloro‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐di­hydro­pteridin‐2‐yl)­‐2,2‐di­methyl­propan­amide, C₁₁H₁₂ClN₅O₂, the rings in the pterin moiety are planar. The amide carbonyl O atom is in syn‐periplanar conformation while the C—N—C—C propanamide linkage is antiperiplanar. The N—H?N and N—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds transform the mol­ecules into infinite chains.     

Bis[1‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)­ethano­ne‐κN 4‐phenyl­thio­semicarbazonato‐κ2N4,S]­manganese(II)

One half of the mol­ecule of the title complex, [Mn(C₁₄H₁₃N₄S)₂], is related to the other half by a twofold axis passing through the Mn atom. This high‐spin Mn atom is six‐coordinated, in an octahedral geometry, by the azomethine N, the pyridyl N and the thiol­ate S atom of two planar 1‐­(pyridin‐2‐yl)­ethanone N(4)‐phenyl­thio­semicarbazone lig­ands. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are interconnected by N—­H?S and C—H?N interactions, forming a three‐dimensional network.     

2‐(4‐Bromophenyl)‐1,2‐dihydropyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazol‐4(3H)‐one and 4‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐3,4‐dihydropyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2(1H)‐one form hydrogen‐bonded base‐paired dimers

The title compounds, 2‐(4‐bromo­phenyl)‐1,2‐di­hydro­pyrimido­[1,2‐a]­benzimidazol‐4‐(3H)‐one, C₁₆H₁₂Br­N₃O, (IVa), and 4‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐3,4‐dihydropyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2‐(1H)‐one, C₁₇H₁₅N₃O, (Vb), both form R(8) centrosymmetric dimers via N—H?N hydrogen bonds. The N?N distance is 2.943 (3) Å for (IVa) and 2.8481 (16) Å for (Vb), with the corresponding N—H?N angles being 129 and 167°, respectively. However, in other respects, the supra­molecular structures of the two compounds differ. Both compounds contain different C—H?π interactions, in which the C—H?π(centroid) distances are 2.59 and 2.47 Å for (IVa) and (Vb), respectively (the latter being a short distance), with C—H?π(centroid) angles of 158 and 159°, respectively. The supramolecular structures also differ, with a short Br?O distance of 3.117 (2) Å in bromo derivative (IVa), and a C—H?O interaction with a C?O distance of 3.2561 (19) Å and a C—H?O angle of 127° in tolyl system (Vb). The di­hydro­pyrimido part of (Vb) is disordered, with a ratio of the major and minor components of 0.9:0.1. The disorder consists of two non‐interchangeable envelope conformers, each with an equatorial tolyl group and an axial methine H atom.     

4‐(4‐Hydro­xy­benzyl­idene­amino)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole hemihydrate

In the title compound, 4‐(4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐4‐yl­imino­methyl)­phenol hemi­hydrate, C₉H₈N₄O·0.5H₂O or (I)·0.5H₂O, mol­ecules of (I) are arranged as layers running along the b axis through intermolecular O—H?N and C—H?O hydrogen bonds. These layers are stabilized by hydrogen‐bonded water mol­ecules to form three‐dimensional networks.     

Novel heterocyclic inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases: three 6H‐1,3,4‐thiadiazines

The title compounds, (2S)‐N‐[5‐(4‐chloro­phenyl)‐2,3‐di­hydro‐6H‐1,3,4‐thia­diazin‐2‐yl­idene]‐2‐[(phenyl­sulfonyl)­amino]­pro­pan­amide, C₁₈H₁₇ClN₄O₃S₂, (I), (2R)‐N‐[5‐(4‐fluoro­phenyl)‐6H‐1,3,4‐thia­diazin‐2‐yl]‐2‐[(phenyl­sulfonyl)amino]­propan­amide, C₁₈H₁₇FN₄O₃S₂, (II), and (2S)‐N‐[5‐(5‐chloro‐2‐thienyl)‐6H‐1,3,4‐thia­diazin‐2‐yl]‐2‐[(phenyl­sulfonyl)­amino]­propan­amide, C₁₆H₁₅ClN₄O₃S₃, (III), are potent inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases. In all three compounds, the thia­diazine ring adopts a screw‐boat conformation. The mol­ecules of compound (I) show a short intramolecular N_Ala—H?N_exo hydrogen bond [N?N 2.661 (3) Å] and are linked into a chain along the c axis by N_endo—H?S_endo and N_endo—H?O_Ala hydrogen bonds [N?S 3.236 (3) and N?O 3.375 (3) Å] between neighbouring mol­ecules. In compound (II), the mol­ecules are connected antiparallel into a chain along the a axis by N_exo—H?O_Ala and N_Ala—H?N_endo hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.907 (6) and N?N 2.911 (6) Å]. The mol­ecules of compound (III) are dimerized antiparallel through N_exo—H?N_endo hydrogen bonds [N?N 2.956 (7) and 2.983 (7) Å]. The different hydrogen‐bonding patterns can be explained by an amido–imino tautomerism (prototropic shift) shown by different bond lengths within the 6H‐1,3,4‐thia­diazine moiety.     

Three structures containing (E)‐1,2‐bis­(benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethene groups

Two of the title compounds, namely (E)‐1,2‐bis­(1‐methyl­benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethene, C₁₈H₁₆N₄, (Ib), and (E)‐1,2‐bis­(1‐ethyl­benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethene, C₂₀H₂₀N₄, (Ic), consist of centrosymmetric trans‐bis­(1‐alkyl­benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethene mol­ecules, while 3‐eth­yl‐2‐[(E)‐2‐(1‐ethyl­benzimidazol‐2‐yl)­ethen­yl]benzimidazol‐1‐ium perchlorate, C₂₀H₂₁N₄⁺·ClO₄⁻, (II), contains the monoprotonated analogue of compound (Ic). In the three structures, the benzimidazole and benzimidazolium moieties are essentially planar; the geometric parameters for the ethene linkages and their bonds to the aromatic groups are consistent with double and single bonds, respectively, implying little, if any, conjugation of the central C=C bonds with the nitro­gen‐containing rings. The C—N bond lengths in the N=C—N part of the benzimidazole groups differ and are consistent with localized imine C=N and amine C—N linkages in (Ib) and (Ic); in contrast, the corresponding distances in the benzimidazolium cation are equal in (II), consistent with electron delocalization resulting from protonation of the amine N atom. Crystals of (Ib) and (Ic) contain columns of parallel mol­ecules, which are linked by edge‐over‐edge C—H⋯π overlap. The columns are linked to one another by C—H⋯π inter­actions and, in the case of (Ib), C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Crystals of (II) contain layers of monocations linked by π–π inter­actions and separated by both perchlorate anions and the protruding eth­yl groups; the cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

Di‐ and tripeptide segments of zervamicin II‐2: Z‐Thr(OBn)‐Aib‐N(Me)Ph and Z‐Val‐Aib‐Hyp(OBn)‐OMe

The title compounds, O‐benzyl‐N‐(benzyl­oxy­carbonyl)­threonyl‐2,N‐dimethyl­alanin­anilide, C₃₀H₃₅N₃O₅, and methyl (4R)‐4‐benzyl­oxy‐N‐(benzyl­oxy­carbonyl)­valyl‐2‐(methyl­alanyl)prolinate, C₃₀H₃₉N₃O₇, were obtained from the `azirine coupling' of the corresponding protected amino acids with 2,2,N‐trimethyl‐2H‐azirin‐3‐amine and methyl (4R)‐4‐(benzyl­oxy)‐N‐(2,2‐dimethyl‐2H‐azirin‐2‐yl)prolinate, respectively. The Aib unit in each mol­ecule has the greatest turn‐ or helix‐inducing effect on the mol­ecular conformation. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O inter­actions link the mol­ecules of the tripeptide into sheets and those of the dipeptide into extended chains.     

Racemic and chiral 1‐[N‐(chloro­acetyl)carbamoylamino]‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐inden‐2‐yl chloroacetate

In the racemic crystals of (1S,2R)‐ or (1R,2S)‐1‐[N‐(chloro­acetyl)­carbamoyl­amino]‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1H‐inden‐2‐yl chloro­acetate, C₁₄H₁₄Cl₂N₂O₄, (I), the enantiomeric mol­ecules form a dimeric structure via the N—H?O cyclic hydrogen bond of the carbamoyl moieties. In the chiral crystals of (—)‐(1S,2R)‐1‐[N‐(chloro­acetyl)­carbamoyl­amino]‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1H‐inden‐2‐yl chloro­acetate, C₁₄H₁₄Cl₂N₂O₄, (II), the N—­H?O intermolecular hydrogen bond forms a zigzag chain around the twofold screw axis. The melting points and calculated densities of (I) and (II) are 446 and 396 K, and 1.481 and 1.445 Mg m^?3, respectively.     

(Aceto­nitrile)­[2,6‐bis­(pyrazol‐1‐yl)­pyridine](isonicotin­amide)copper(II)–tetra­fluoro­borate–aceto­nitrile (1/2/2)

Molecules of the title compound, [Cu(C₂H₃N)(C₁₁H₉N₅)(C₆H₆N₂O)](BF₄)₂·2C₂H₃N, comprise (aceto­nitrile)[2,6‐bis(pyrazol‐1‐yl)­pyridine](isonicotin­amide)copper(II) cations, tetra­fluoro­borate anions and lattice aceto­nitrile mol­ecules. The cations have distorted square‐pyramidal geometries in which the N₃‐donor, viz. 2,6‐bis­(pyrazol‐1‐yl)­pyridine, and the N‐donor, viz. the isonicotin­amide ligand, occupy the four basal positions, with the coordinated aceto­nitrile N‐donor atom occupying the apical position. Pairs of cations are linked by N—H?F hydrogen bonds through tetra­fluoro­borate anions, forming centrosymmetric dimers, which are further linked by C—H?O hydrogen bonds into two‐dimensional undulating sheets, three of which interpenetrate to generate a two‐dimensional network.     

1‐Methyl‐4‐nitraminopyridinium nitrate and 4‐nitraminopyridinium methanesulfonate

In the title compounds, C₆H₈N₃O₂⁺·NO₃^? and C₅­H₆­N₃­O₂⁺·­CH₃SO₃^?, respectively, the cations are almost planar; the twist of the nitr­amino group about the C—N and N—N bonds does not exceed 10°. The deviations from coplanarity are accounted for by intermolecular N—H?O interactions. The coplanarity of the NHNO₂ group and the phenyl ring leads to the deformation of the nitr­amino group. The C—N—N angle and one C—C—N angle at the junction of the phenyl ring and the nitr­amino group are increased from 120° by ca 6°, whereas the other junction C—C—N angle is decreased by ca 5°. Within the nitro group, the O—N—O angle is increased by ca 5° and one O—N—N angle is decreased by ca 5°, whereas the other O—N—N angle remains almost unchanged. The cations are connected to the anions by relatively strong N—H?O hydrogen bonds [shortest H?O separations 1.77 (2)–1.81 (3) Å] and much weaker C—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O separations 2.30 (2)–2.63 (3) Å].     

Three 4‐amino­quinolines of anti­malarial interest

The structures of three compounds with potential anti­malarial activity are reported. In N,N‐diethyl‐N′‐(7‐iodo­quinolin‐4‐yl)ethane‐1,2‐diamine, C₁₅H₂₀IN₃, (I), the mol­ecules are linked into ribbons by N—H⋯N and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In N‐(7‐bromo­quinolin‐4‐yl)‐N′,N′‐diethyl­ethane‐1,2‐diamine dihydrate, C₁₅H₂₀BrN₃·2H₂O, (II), two amino­quino­line mol­ecules and four water mol­ecules form an R₅⁴(13) hydrogen‐bonded ring which links to its neighbours to form a T5(2) one‐dimensional infinite tape with pendant hydrogen bonds to the amino­quinolines. The phosphate salt 7‐chloro‐4‐[2‐(diethyl­ammonio)ethyl­amino]quinolinium bis­(dihydrogen­phosphate) phospho­ric acid, C₁₅H₂₂ClN₃²⁺·2H₂PO₄⁻·H₃PO₄, (III), was prepared in order to establish the protonation sites of these compounds. The phosphate ions form a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded sheet, while the amino­quino­line cations are linked to the phosphates by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from each of their three N atoms. While the conformation of the quinoline region hardly varies between (I), (II) and (III), the amino side chain is much more flexible and adopts a significantly different conformation in each case. Aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions are the only supramolecular inter­actions seen in all three structures.     

2,3‐Dihydro‐3‐methyl‐2‐nitrimino‐1,3‐thiazole

The title compound {alternatively, 3‐methyl‐2‐[oxido(oxo)hydrazono]‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,3‐thiazole}, C₄H₅N₃O₂S, was obtained by methyl­ation of N‐(2‐thia­zolyl)­nitr­amine. The molecule lies on a mirror plane and the thia­zole ring is planar, regular in shape and aromatic. The S atom participates in the aromatic sextet via an electron pair on the 3p_z orbital. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are arranged in parallel layers, bound to each other by weak C—H?O and C—H?N hydrogen bonds and by S?O dipolar interactions, with an interlayer separation of 3.23 Å.     

The conversion of a pyrrole trimer derivative into a 4,5,6,7‐tetra­hydro‐4‐­(pyrrol‐2‐yl)indol‐7‐yl­tosyl­aminoindole

Vilsmeier formyl­ation of trans‐1‐(4‐methyl­phenyl­sulfonyl)‐2,5‐bis(pyrrol‐2‐yl)­pyrrolidine leads to cleavage of the central ring then a reclosure resulting in the formation of trans‐N‐[2‐formyl‐4‐(5‐formyl­pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐4,5,6,7‐tetra­hydro­indol‐7‐yl]­toluene­sulfon­amide, C₂₁H₂₁N₃O₄S.     

Mono­alkyl­ated 4′‐aryl‐substituted terpyridines

1‐Methyl‐2‐[4‐phenyl‐6‐(pyridinium‐2‐yl)­pyridin‐2‐yl]­pyridinium diperchlorate, C₂₂H₁₉N₃²⁺·2ClO₄⁻, (I), and 2‐[4‐(methoxy­phenyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridin‐6‐yl]‐1‐methyl­pyridinium iodide, C₂₃H₂₀N₃O⁺·I⁻, (II), both crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. In contrast with the monocharged mol­ecule of (II), the doubly charged mol­ecule of (I) contains an additional protonated pyridine ring. One of the two perchlorate counter‐anions of (I) interacts with the cation of (I) via an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In (II), two mol­ecules related by a centre of symmetry are connected by weak π–π interactions, forming dimers in the crystal structure.     

4‐(Trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile

4‐(Tri­fluoro­methyl)­benzo­nitrile, C₈H₄F₃N, at 123 K contains mol­ecules linked together through one C—H?F bond and two C—H?N hydrogen bonds into sheets that are further crosslinked to form a dense two‐dimensional network without π?π ring interactions. The aromatic ring is slightly deformed due to the two para‐related electronegative groups.     

5‐Methyl‐2‐thiouracil

The molecular structure of the title compound, also known as 2‐thio­thymine [systematic name: 2,3‐di­hydro‐5‐methyl‐2‐thioxopyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one], C₅H₆N₂OS, is similar to that of thymine, with only small changes in the ring structure, apart from a significant difference at the substitution site [S=C = 1.674 (1) Å]. The mol­ecules are connected by hydrogen bonds, with N—H?O = 2.755 (2) Å and N—H?S = 3.352 (1) Å. The hydrogen‐bond network is different from that in thymine, since it involves all the donor and acceptor atoms.
