3,3a‐Dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]­chromen‐1(2H)‐ones from the reaction of salicylaldehyde and 2‐cyclo­penten‐1‐one

The two title chromene compounds, 3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₆H₁₂O₂, (I), and 2‐(2‐hydroxy­benzyl­idene)‐3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₉H₁₄O₃, (II), have been determined in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. Compound (I) is mainly stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions. Compound (II) is linked into infinite one‐dimensional chains with a C(3) motif via inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The inter­molecular C—H⋯π and π–­π inter­actions also play key roles in stabilizing the crystal packing. Two intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with S(5) motifs were detected in (II).     

N‐[(R)‐1‐(2‐Hydr­oxy‐5‐methyl­phen­yl)­eth­yl]‐N‐[(R)‐1‐(2‐meth­oxy‐5‐methyl­phen­yl)‐2‐phenyl­eth­yl]aminium chloride

The title compound, C₂₅H₃₀NO₂⁺·Cl⁻, has been synthesized, and the crystal structure shows that it is mainly stabilized through inter­molecular N—H·Cl and O—H·Cl and intra­molecular N—H·O hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration of the new stereogenic center (the C atom adjacent to the N atom on the phenol side) was determined to have an R configuration.     

(Z)‐1‐Ferrocenyl‐3‐(3‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one and (Z)‐1‐ferrocenyl‐3‐(4‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one

The title compounds, both [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₄NO₂)], crystallize with Z′ = 2 in the centrosymmetric space group P. In each compound, there is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond, and pairs of inter­molecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains, parallel to [10] in the 3‐hydr­oxy compound and parallel to [10] in the 4‐hydr­oxy compound.     

2‐Hydro­xy‐1‐naphth­aldehyde 2‐methyl­thio­semicarbazone

The potentially tridentate O,N,S‐donor ligand, 2‐hydroxy‐1‐naphth­aldehyde 2‐methyl­thio­semicarbazone, C₁₃H₁₃N₃OS, has been structurally characterized and the mol­ecule is found to exhibit a distorted planar structure with the thio­semicarbazide moiety being twisted slightly out of the plane defined by the naphthyl ring.     

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.     

1‐(2‐Pyridyl)ethan‐1‐one 8‐quinolylhydrazone and 1‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)ethan‐1‐one 8‐quinolylhydrazone

The structures of the title compounds, C₁₆H₁₄N₄, (I), and C₁₅H₁₄N₄, (II), respectively, have been determined, and their molecular packing arrangements compared. Both are essentially flat mol­ecules, with respective dihedral angles between the quinoline and heterocyclic rings of 19.0 (1) and 8.5 (2)°. The pyridyl derivative, (I), packs in a P2₁/c unit cell, while in the pyrrolyl compound, (II), the mol­ecules pack in Pca2₁ and form a crinkled ribbon arrangement through the association of pyrrole NH groups with the quinoline N atoms.     

Two hydrates of 2,6‐bis­(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)­pyridine

The structures of the mono‐ and sesquihydrates of 2,6‐bis(1H‐benz­imi­da­zol‐2‐yl)­pyridine (bbip) are reported. Phase (I), C₁₉H₁₃N₅·H₂O, has one water and one bbip mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, while phase (II), C₁₉H₁₃N₅·1.5H₂O, has three water mol­ecules and two bbip mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The compounds exhibit very similar molecular geom­etries but different packing organizations, which result from intricate hydrogen‐bonding schemes.     

Three (E)‐2‐[(bromo­phen­yl)imino­meth­yl]‐4‐methoxy­phenols

The title compounds, (E)‐2‐[(2‐bromo­phenyl)imino­methyl]‐4‐methoxy­phenol, C₁₄H₁₂BrNO₂, (I), (E)‐2‐[(3‐bromo­phenyl)­imino­methyl]‐4‐methoxy­phenol, C₁₄H₁₂BrNO₂, (II), and (E)‐2‐[(4‐bromo­phenyl)imino­methyl]‐4‐methoxy­phenol, C₁₄H₁₂BrNO₂, (III), adopt the phenol–imine tautomeric form. In all three structures, there are strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Compound (I) has strong inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, while compound (III) has weak inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. In addition to these inter­molecular inter­actions, C—H⋯π inter­actions in (I) and (III), and π–π inter­actions in (I), play roles in the crystal packing. The dihedral angles between the aromatic rings are 15.34 (12), 6.1 (3) and 39.2 (14)° for (I), (II) and (III), respectively.     

(Z)‐3‐(1‐Methyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐2‐(thio­phen‐3‐yl)­acrylo­nitrile

The title compound, C₁₆H₁₂N₂S, has been synthesized by base‐catalyzed condensation of 1‐methyl­indole‐3‐carbox­aldehyde with thio­phene‐3‐aceto­nitrile. The product assumes an approx­imately planar Z configuration. The mol­ecule has a thienyl‐ring flip disorder.     

Three isomeric forms of hydroxyphenyl‐2‐oxazoline: 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, 2‐(3‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline and 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline

Crystal structures are reported for three isomeric compounds, namely 2‐(2‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (I), 2‐(3‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (II), and 2‐(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (III), all C₉H₉NO₂ [systematic names: 2‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (I), 3‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (II), and 4‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (III)]. In these compounds, the deviation from coplanarity of the oxazoline and benzene rings is dependent on the position of the hydroxy group on the benzene ring. The coplanar arrangement in (I) is stabilized by a strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. Surprisingly, the 2‐oxazoline ring in mol­ecule B of (II) adopts a ³T₄ (^C2T_C3) conformation, while the 2‐oxazoline ring in mol­ecule A, as well as that in (I) and (III), is nearly planar, as expected. Tetra­mers of mol­ecules of (II) are formed and they are bound together via weak C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In (III), strong inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of an infinite chain of mol­ecules perpendicular to the b direction. This paper also reports a theoretical investigation of hydrogen bonds, based on density functional theory (DFT) employing periodic boundary conditions.     

(1S,2R,2′S)‐ and (1S,2S,2′S)‐1‐phenyl‐2‐phenyl­thio‐2‐(tetra­hydro­pyran‐2′‐yl­thio)­ethanol diastereoisomers at 193 K

In the synthesis of 1‐phenyl‐2‐phenyl­thio‐2‐(tetra­hydro­pyran‐2‐yl­thio)­ethanol, C₁₉H₂₂O₂S₂, four diastereoisomers are formed. Two non‐centrosymmetric enantiomeric forms which crystallize in space groups P2₁2₁2₁ and Pna2₁ are presented. The former has an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and the O atom of the tetra­hydro­pyran ring. In the latter isomer, the hydroxyl group forms an intermolecular hydrogen bond to the O atom of the tetra­hydro­pyran­yl group of a neighbouring mol­ecule, joining the mol­ecules into chains in the c‐axis direction; the O?O distances are 2.962 (4) and 2.764 (3) Å, respectively. The tetra­hydro­pyran rings are in chair conformations in both isomers and the S side chain has an equatorial orientation in the former, but an axial orientation in the latter mol­ecule.     

Ammonium 1‐hydroxy‐2‐(2‐pyridinio)ethane‐1,1‐diyldiphosphonate dihydrate and potassium 1‐hydroxy‐2‐(2‐pyridinio)ethane‐1,1‐diyldiphosphonate dihydrate

The crystal structures of the title compounds, ammonium risedronate dihydrate, NH₄⁺·C₇H₁₀NO₇P₂⁻·2H₂O, (I), and potassium risedronate dihydrate, K⁺·C₇H₁₀NO₇P₂⁻·2H₂O, (II), have been determined from single‐crystal X‐ray data collected at 120 K. Compound (I) forms a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network which connects the ammonium and risedronate ions and the water mol­ecules. In compound (II), the K⁺ ions are seven‐coordinated in a capped distorted trigonal prism. The coordination polyhedra form chains by corner‐sharing, and these chains are connected by phosphon­ate groups into layers in the ac plane. The layers are stacked and connected by hydrogen bonds in the b direction. The risedronate conformation is determined by intra­molecular inter­actions fine‐tuned by crystal packing effects. All H‐atom donors in both structures are involved in hydrogen bonding, with D⋯A distances between 2.510 (2) and 3.009 (2) Å.     

1:1 Adduct of (S,S)‐4‐amino‐3,5‐bis­(1‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole with (S,S)‐1,2‐bis­(2‐hydroxy­propionyl)­hydrazine stabilized by eight hydrogen bonds

The structure of the cocrystallized 1:1 adduct of (S,S)‐4‐amino‐3,5‐bis­(1‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole and (S,S)‐1,2‐bis­(2‐hydroxy­propionyl)­hydrazine, C₆H₁₂N₄O₂·C₆H₁₂N₂O₄, has tetra­gonal symmetry. All eight O‐ and N‐bound H atoms are involved in inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in infinite zigzag chains of the triazole mol­ecules, with the hydrazine mol­ecules filling the gaps between the chains and completing a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded array.     

1‐((E)‐{(1R,2R)‐2‐[(E)‐(2‐Hydr­oxy‐1‐naphth­yl)methyl­eneamino]cyclo­hexyl}iminiometh­yl)naphthalen‐2‐olate: a Schiff base compound having both OH and NH character

The title Schiff base compound, C₂₈H₂₆N₂O₂, possesses both OH and NH tautomeric character in its mol­ecular structure. While the OH side of the compound is described as an inter­mediate state, its NH side adopts a predominantly zwitterionic form. The mol­ecular structure of the compound is stabilized by both N⁺—H⋯O⁻ and O—H⋯N intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. There are two weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds leading to polymeric chains of topology C(5) and C(13) running along the b axis of the unit cell. In addition, inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions serve to stabilize the extended structure.     

tert‐Butyl (6S)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐isobutyl‐2‐oxo‐1,2,5,6‐tetra­hydropyridine‐1‐carboxyl­ate and tert‐butyl (4R,6S)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐iso­butyl‐2‐oxopiperidine‐1‐carboxyl­ate

X‐ray studies reveal that tert‐butyl (6S)‐6‐iso­butyl‐2,4‐dioxo­piperidine‐1‐carboxyl­ate occurs in the 4‐enol form, viz. tert‐butyl (6S)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐iso­butyl‐2‐oxo‐1,2,5,6‐tetra­hydropyri­dine‐1‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₄H₂₃NO₄, when crystals are grown from a mixture of di­chloro­methane and pentane, and has an axial orientation of the iso­butyl side chain at the 6‐position of the piperidine ring. Reduction of the keto functionality leads predominantly to the corresponding β‐hydroxy­lated δ‐lactam, tert‐butyl (4R,6S)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐iso­butyl‐2‐oxo­piperidine‐1‐car­boxyl­ate, C₁₄H₂₅NO₄, with a cis configuration of the 4‐hydroxy and 6‐iso­butyl groups. The two compounds show similar molecular packing driven by strong O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds, leading to infinite chains in the crystal structure.     

(E)‐2‐Methyl‐3‐(2‐methyl‐2‐nitro­vinyl)‐1H‐indole and (E)‐3‐(2‐methyl‐2‐nitro­vinyl)‐2‐phenyl‐1H‐indole

In the title compounds, C₁₂H₁₂N₂O₂, (I), and C₁₇H₁₄N₂O₂, (II), respectively, the indole rings are planar and the vinyl groups lie out of the indole planes, making dihedral angles of 33.48 (5) and 41.31 (8)°, respectively. In (II), the dihedral angle between the phenyl and indole ring planes is 32.06 (6)°. In both mol­ecules, the double bond connecting the methyl­nitro­vinyl group and the indole nucleus adopts an E configuration. Notwithstanding the differences in space group [C2/c for (I) and P2₁2₁2₁ for (II)], the mode of packing of compounds (I) and (II) is determined by similar inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions, forming chains that run parallel to [101] in (I) and [001] in (II).     

2‐(1,3‐Dithian‐2‐yl)benzaldehyde and N‐{2‐[2‐(1,3‐dioxan‐2‐yl)phenoxy]­ethyl}phthalimide

The crystal structures of two elaborated‐porphyrin precursors have been determined. In the crystalline state, 2‐(1,3‐di­thian‐2‐yl)­benz­aldehyde, C₁₁H₁₂OS₂, has its di­thiane ring in a slightly distorted chair conformation. The mol­ecules pack in anti‐parallel chains. N‐{2‐[2‐(1,3‐Dioxan‐2‐yl)­phenoxy]­ethyl}­phthal­imide, C₂₀H₁₉NO₅, is in a folded conformation. The dihedral angle between the phthal­imide and phenyl planes is 80.07 (3)°. In the crystalline states, mol­ecules stack on top of one another.     

16‐(4‐Cyanobenzylidene)‐3β‐pyrrolidinoandrost‐5‐en‐17β‐ol monohydrate

In the title compound, C₃₁H₄₀N₂O·H₂O, the outer two six‐membered rings are in chair conformations, while the central ring is in an 8β,9α‐half‐chair conformation. The five‐membered ring adopts a 13β‐envelope conformation and the cyano­benzyl­idene moiety has an E configuration with respect to the hydroxyl group at position 17. The steroid nuclei are linked by intermolecular O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds to form a molecular network. The molecular packing has an interesting feature, with the steroids aligned parallel to the b axis, forming a closed loop through hydrogen bonds linked via water mol­ecules.
