5‐Amino‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐4‐carbaldehyde hemihydrate: a polarized electronic structure within hydrogen‐bonded sheets of R108(34) rings

In the title compound, C₁₁H₁₁N₃O·0.5H₂O, the water molecule lies across a twofold rotation axis in the space group Pbcn. The bond distances in the organic component provide evidence for polarization of the electronic structure. The molecular components are linked into puckered sheets of R₁₀⁸(34) rings by a combination of O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds; adjacent sheets are weakly linked by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction. Comparisons are made with some fused‐ring analogues.     

Hydrogen‐bonding patterns in two aroylthiocarbamates and two aroylimidothiocarbonates

In O‐ethyl N‐benzoylthiocarbamate, C₁₀H₁₁NO₂S, the molecules are linked into sheets by a combination of two‐centre N—H...O and C—H...S hydrogen bonds and a three‐centre C—H...(O,S) hydrogen bond. A combination of two‐centre N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds links the molecules of O‐ethyl N‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)thiocarbamate, C₁₁H₁₃NO₂S, into chains of rings, which are linked into sheets by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction. In O,S‐diethyl N‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)imidothiocarbonate, C₁₃H₁₇NO₂S, pairs of molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of symmetry‐related C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds, while the molecules of O,S‐diethyl N‐(4‐chlorobenzoyl)imidothiocarbonate, C₁₂H₁₄ClNO₂S, are linked by a single C—H...O hydrogen bond into simple chains, pairs of which are linked by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction to form a ladder‐type structure.     

Preparation of 6-chloropyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbaldehydes by Vilsmeier-Haack reaction and its use in the synthesis of heterocyclic chalcones and dipyrazolopyridines

Novel 6-chloropyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbaldehydes 5 have been synthesized from the 4,5-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-6-ones 4 via Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. Further treatment of carbaldehydes 5 with acetophenones 6 and hydrazine hydrate afforded chalcone analogues 7 and dipyrazolo[3,4-b:4′,3′-e]pyridines 8, respectively.
