Two methyl 3‐(1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)octahydropyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1‐carboxylates form different hydrogen‐bonded sheets

In the molecules of both methyl (1RS,3SR,3aRS,6aSR)‐1‐methyl‐3‐(3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐4,6‐dioxo‐5‐phenyloctahydropyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1‐carboxylate, C₂₅H₂₄N₄O₄, (I), and methyl (1RS,3SR,3aRS,6aSR)‐5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐methyl‐3‐(3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐4,6‐dioxooctahydropyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1‐carboxylate, C₂₅H₂₃ClN₄O₄, (II), the two rings of the pyrrolopyrrole fragment are both nonplanar, with conformations close to half‐chair forms. The overall conformations of the molecules of (I) and (II) are very similar, apart from the orientation of the ester function. The molecules of (I) are linked into sheets by a combination of an N—H...π(pyrrole) hydrogen bond and three independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The molecules of (II) are also linked into sheets, which are generated by a combination of an N—H...N hydrogen bond and two independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds, weakly augmented by a C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond.     

1‐(Thiophen‐3‐yl)ethanone

The structure of the title compound, C₆H₆OS, exhibits a flip‐type disorder of the thiophene ring [occupancy ratio = 0.848 (3):0.152 (3)], which is typical for many thiophene derivatives. The puckered thiophene ring is essentially coplanar with the plane formed by the non‐H atoms of the acetyl substituent, similar to its simple analogues, i.e. 3‐acetyl‐2‐carboxythiophene, 4‐acetyl‐3‐carboxythiophene and 3,5‐diacetyl‐2‐ethylamino‐4‐methylthiophene. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected by C—H...π hydrogen bonds, forming a sheet parallel to the (001) plane. Moreover, an inspection of the crystal lattice reveals that there are short S...O contacts connecting the molecules of adjacent sheets. Comparison of the title crystal structure with its simple 3‐methoxythiophene analogue shows a close similarity in the herringbone arrangement of molecules and in the presence of C—H...π interactions and S...O contacts.     

1,3‐Bis(4‐methyl­phen­yl)triazene, 1‐(4‐chloro­phen­yl)‐3‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)triazene and 1‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)‐3‐(4‐methyl­phen­yl)triazene

The title 4,4′‐disubstituted diphen­yl‐1,3‐triazines, C₁₄H₁₅N₃, (I), C₁₂H₉ClFN₃, (II), and C₁₃H₁₂FN₃, (III), each contain a triazene group (–N=N—NH–) having an extended conformation. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rings in (I), (II) and (III) are 4.3, 3.4 and 6.5°, respectively. The mol­ecules are almost entirely planar, with maximum deviations from the mean planes of 0.1087 (2), −0.1072 (7) and 0.1401 (3) Å, respectively. In each compound, the molecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form chains and pack similarly in the crystal structures.

Synthesis and Cytotoxicity in Vitro of N‐Aryl‐4‐(tert‐butyl)‐5‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)thiazol‐2‐amine

A series of novel N‐aryl‐4‐(tert‐butyl)‐5‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)thiazol‐2‐amines synthesized in a green way. H₂O₂‐NaBr Brominating circulatory system was used in the synthesis of the key intermediate in a mild condition. All of the target compounds were confirmed by ¹H NMR and elemental analysis and tested for their cytotoxicity against two different human cancer cell lines. The cytotoxicity assay revealed that some of the title compounds showed moderate to strong cytotoxic activities. Compound 2i was the most potent compound with the IC₅₀ values of 9 μM against Hela cells and 15 μM against Bel–7402 cells, 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.     

1‐(1‐Benzoylpropen‐2‐yl)‐3‐methylisothiosemicarbazide

The structure of the title S‐alkyl­ated iso­thio­semicarbazide, C₁₂H₁₅N₃OS, was determined by single‐crystal diffractometry and compared with the structures of other compounds containing the S‐alkyl­thio­semicarbazide moiety. Such structures cluster into two groups, according to the different orientation of the –SR group with respect to the hydrazine N atom of the thio­semicarbazide. The cis arrangement is preferred by most mol­ecules in the solid state, in spite of the possibility of intramolecular N—H?N interactions in the opposite orientation.     

(Z)‐3‐(1H‐Indol‐3‐yl)‐2‐(3‐thienyl)­acrylo­nitrile and (Z)‐3‐[1‐(4‐tert‐butyl­benzyl)‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl]‐2‐(3‐thienyl)­acrylo­nitrile

(Z)‐3‐(1H‐Indol‐3‐yl)‐2‐(3‐thienyl)­acrylo­nitrile, C₁₅H₁₀N₂S, (I), and (Z)‐3‐[1‐(4‐tert‐butyl­benzyl)‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl]‐2‐(3‐thienyl)­acrylo­nitrile, C₂₆H₂₄N₂S, (II), were prepared by base‐catalyzed reactions of the corresponding indole‐3‐carbox­aldehyde with thio­phene‐3‐aceto­nitrile. ¹H/¹³C NMR spectral data and X‐ray crystal structures of compounds (I) and (II) are presented. The olefinic bond connecting the indole and thio­phene moieties has Z geometry in both cases, and the mol­ecules crystallize in space groups P2₁/c and C2/c for (I) and (II), respectively. Slight thienyl ring‐flip disorder (ca 5.6%) was observed and modeled for (I).
