1H and 13C spectral assignment of 2(1H)-pyridone derivatives

1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for 4-aryl-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)pyridone derivatives were fully assigned by a combination of one- and two- dimensional experiments (DEPT, HMBC, HMQC, COSY, NOE).     

Structural analogues of the bimetallic reaction center in acetyl CoA synthase: a Ni--Ni model with bound CO

Models for the active site of the acetyl CoA synthase (ACS) were synthesized by attachment of Cu+ and Ni(0) to nickel diaminodithiolate (S2N2) and diamidodithiolate (S2N2') complexes. The Ni-Ni species form stable CO adducts, i.e., [{(CO)2Ni}{NiS2N2'}]2-, whereas the Cu-NiS2N2 and Cu-NiS2N2' models do not. These results provide supporting evidence for a biological role for reduced nickel in ACS.     

Novel hexahydrofuro[3,4-b]-2(1H)-pyridones from 4-aryl substituted 5-alkoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-3,4-dihydropyridones

The title compounds 6 have been prepared in a one-step procedure from the corresponding 4-aryl substituted 5-alkoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-3,4-dihydropyridones 4 in good yields. Quantum chemical calculations reveal a non-planar molecule with a distorted dihydropyridone ring and two favoured conformations. The 13C nmr data and theoretical calculations support a strong push-pull effect on the olefinic moiety.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, and molecular modeling (AM1) of Methyl 6-chloro-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-formyl-2-methyl-1, 4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate

The synthesis and structural characterization of Methyl 6-chloro-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-formyl-2-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate is described. The structure was refined to R₁ = 0.0470 for 2665 reflections (with I > 2(I)). Crystal data: C₁₅H₁₃C₁₂NO₃, monoclinic,space group P2₁/c, a = 11.163(9), b = 14.484(8), c = 9.422(7) Å, V = 1512.9(19) ų, Z = 4. The results of crystallographic and molecular modeling (AM1) were compared. The Cl atom attached to the phenyl group has two possible orientations, having 75% (sp) and 25% (ap) occupancy, respectively. The molecules in the crystal are held together by means of intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the type N=H...O and by C=H...O interactions.     

Experimental and theoretical structural study of 2‐pyridyl‐ and 4‐hydroxyphenyl‐1,4‐dihydropyridine derivatives

A series of substituted 1,4‐dihydropyridines (1,4‐DHPs) has been synthesised following the well‐known Hantzsch's procedure for symmetrical 1,4‐DHP. The structures of these compounds have been thoroughly studied by X‐ray crystallographic analysis and semiempirical (AMI) calculations. A good agreement is found between the theoretical and experimental results. In all cases, the most stable conformation fulfils all the requirements needed for exhibiting an antagonist calcium effect.     

1H and 13C spectral assignment of 4-aryl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,7,7,5-oxo-quinolines 3-substituted derivatives

The 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for 4-aryl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,7,7,5-oxo-quinoline 3-substituted derivatives have been fully assigned by the combination of one- and two dimensional experiments (DEPT, HMBC, HMQC, COSY, NOE).
