Disorder on the part of 4-methylpyridines and chloroform molecules stopped the refinement ofA at the endR value of 0.175.Mean Mo–X and Mo–N bonding distances are 2.40 (2), 2.25 (5) forA and 2.53 (3), 2.25 (1) forB.

     

The synthesis of β-heteroarylamino-α,β-dehydro-α-amino acid and β-heteroarylamino-α-amino acid derivatives

From heteroarylaminomethyleneoxazolones 4 , obtained from N-heteroarylformamidines 2 and 2-phenyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazole ( 3 ), the following β-heteroarylamino-α,β-dehydro-α-amino acid derivatives were prepared: methyl 8 and ethyl esters 9 , amides 10 and 11 , hydrazides 12 , and azides 15 . By catalytic hydrogenation the compounds 4 were converted into β-heteroarylamino substituted amides 18 and β-heteroarylamino-α-amino acids 20 .     

Fluoro-containing coordination compounds of chromium(III). V. Preparation and crystal structure of the Racemic Cis-[Cr(en)2F2]ClO4 · NaClO4 · H2O

Cis-[Cr(en)₂F₂]ClO₄ · NaClO₄ · H₂O (en = 1,2-diaminoethane) was obtained as the red crystalline product from the saturated solutions of both NaClO₄ and cis-[Cr(en)₂F₂]ClO₄ in water. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic P2₁/n (No.14) space group with a = 9.540(2), b = 11.840(2); c = 14.659(3) Å, β = 95.02(1)°, Z = 4. The unit cell of the racemic crystal contains cis-[Cr(en)₂F₂]⁺ in the Λλλ and Δδδ enantiometric forms, Na⁺, ClO₄^?, and lattice H₂O. Cr has octahedral coordination. Cr? F and Cr? N bonds are 1.868(4), 1.887(5) and from 2.067(2) to 2.100(8) Å. Mean Cl? O bond is 1.38 Å. Na⁺ ions are in the distorted octahedral environment. Infrared spectrum confirms the presence of the lattice H₂O and proves the cis structure of [Cr(en)₂F₂]⁺.     

A dimeric cobalt(II)–suberate complex with 3‐amino­pyridine

The title complex, μ‐octane‐1,8‐dioato‐bis[bis(3‐aminopyridine)chloro(methanol)cobalt(II)], [Co₂(C₈H₁₂O₄)Cl₂(C₅H₆N₂)₄(CH₄O)₂], is located on a crystallographic centre of inversion. The coordination around each of the Co centres is distorted octa­hedral, involving two N, three O and one Cl atom. Discrete dimers are connected in a three‐dimensional arrangement through N—H⋯O, N—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯O hydrogen‐bond inter­actions.     

Three new copper(II) halides with simple pyridine alcohols

Three Cu(II) halido complexes of 3-pyridinepropanol (3-pyprop), 2-pyridineethanol (2-pyet), and 2-pyridinemethanol (2-pymet) have been prepared and investigation of their crystal structures undertaken. All the reported products contain simple pyridine alcohols as neutral ligands. Cu(3-pyprop)₂Br₂, 1, exhibits square-planar coordination geometry with the axial sites involved in weak bridging contact with the neighboring units to form infinite chains. Reaction of CuBr₂ with 2-pyet leads to an ionic complex [Cu(2-pyet)₂Br]Br, 2, with distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment: the Cu center in the cation is surrounded by two 2-pyet ligands, coordinated in chelating manner, and a bromide. Reaction of CuCl₂ with 2-pymet resulted in the formation of a dinuclear ionic complex Cu₂(2-pymet)₄Cl₂]Cl₂·2H₂O, 3. The centrosymmetric cation consisted of two Cu ions doubly bridged by chlorides and coordinated by chelating 2-pymet ligands. The positive charge is balanced by free chlorides involved in hydrogen bonds with the lattice water molecules.     

D-Gulonolactone as a synthon for L-noviose: first preparation of 4-O-demethyl-L-noviofuranose and related derivatives

[reaction: see text] A new synthesis of L-noviose (11), a sugar moiety of novobiocin, is presented. D-Gulonolactone was initially converted in a few steps to the key ester derivative 7 [1-O-benzyl methyl 2,3-O-(1-methylethylidene)-alpha-L-lyxofuranosiduronate]. An appropriate selection of protecting groups enabled transformation of 7 under mild reaction conditions to 4-O-demethyl-L-noviofuranose 9a and related 9b-c. Derivatives 9 were further converted either to L-lyxopyranoses (10a and 10b) or to methyl L-lyxofuranoside 12.     

Crystal structure of trans-pyH[MoBr4py2] and reactivity of Trans-pyH[MBr4py2] (M = Mo,W; py = pyridine) towards nitrogen ligands and bromine Oxidation

The crystal structure of trans-pyH[MoBr₄py₂] has been determined: orthorhombic, Pnma (No. 62), a = 16.197(3), b = 13.995(3), c = 8.615(1) Å, Z = 4, D_c = 2.23, D_o = 2.20(3) g/cm³, V = 1 953(1) ų. R₁, R_w = 0.057 and 0.053. Trans-[MoBr₄py₂]^? anions with staggered conformation of pyridine rings are located on the mirror planes. Mo? Br, Mo? N(pyridine) distances are 2.593(1), 2.573(1), 2.227(8) and 2.213(7) Å. Cations are located on the symmetry centers. The cation in trans-pyH[MBr₄py₂] can be replaced. Trans-NH₄[MBr₄py₂] · H₂O, Cs[MBr₄py₂], LH[MBr₄py₂] (M = Mo, W; L = 4-methylpyridine, 4-pic; 2,2′-bipyridyl, bipy) were prepared. The compounds of molybdenum and tungsten with the same chemical composition are isostructural. All compounds react with pyridine and 4-methylpyridine. The products are trans-MBr₃L₃, and in the case of molybdenum, also trans-MoBr₃py₂(4-pic). Bromine oxidizes trans-M^I[MBr₄py₂] to trans-MBr₄py₂.
