Crystal and molecular structure of 2-(2′-methylaminophenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazine-4-one

A planar structure for molecules of 2-(2-methylaminophenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazine-4-one was found by x-ray structural analysis. Shortening of the N-Ph bond and lengthening of the distance between amino- and azine-N atoms in comparison to the tosyl analog was demonstrated to lead to a bathochromic shift of the absorption spectrum and a hypsochromic displacement of the luminescence spectrum. As a result, the Stokes shift of 2-(2-methylaminophenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazine-4-one is smaller than that of 2-(2-tosylaminophenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazine-4-one. In the crystal, molecules of 2-(2-methylaminophenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazine-4-one are stacked with intermolecular interaction energy between molecules in the stack of –12.5 and –14.2 kcal/mole. The stacks are joined into layers parallel to (010).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1781–1785, August, 1989.

Photochemical properties and structures ofN-amino andN-azomethine derivatives of 2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium perchlorates

The molecular structures of the initial compounds and the products of photocyclization involving amino and azomethine groups in perchlorates ofN-amino (1) andN-azomethine (2) derivatives of 2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium cations were studied. Cations1 and2 have an essentially non-coplanar arrangement of the -Ph rings, and the product of photocyclization of2, cation3, is characterized by a flattened structure. It was found that the orientation of the lone electron pair of the N atom with respect to one of the planes of the -Ph rings in molecule1 is more favorable for monocyclization involving the amino group. The structure of molecule2 allows two routes of the photoreaction,viz., O N proton transfer and monocyclization with an -Ph ring. However, the structural features of molecule2 are more favorable for photocyclization.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 296–301, February, 1995.     

Purification of 3-ethoxycarbonylquinuclidine and its conversion to 3-quinuclidinecarboxylic acid and 3-quinuclidinylmethanol

3-Ethoxycarbonylquinuclidine obtained by the Grob method is a mixture of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-azabicylo-[2.2.2]- and, according to ¹³C NMR data, 5-ethoxycarbonyl-5-azatricyclo[3.2.1.0^2,7]octanes (1621). 3-Ethoxy-carbonylquinuclidine was purified by recrystallization of the hydrochloride, hydrolyzed by water to 3-quinuclidinecarboxylic acid, and reduced by LiAlH₄ to 3-quinuclidinylmethanol.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, 1509–1512, November, 1992.     

Reaction of 1-chloromethylisatin with indole

In the condensation of N-chloromethylisatin with indole and 2-methylindole in the presence of triethylamine, instead of the expected N-skatylisatins the products of their subsequent transformations with opening of the five-membered ring of isatin -o-(N-skatylamino)- and o[N-(2-methylskatyl)amino]benzoylcaproic acids —were isolated. In addition to the formation of these -keto acids, under the indicated conditions one observes dimerization of N-chloromethylisatin and N-chloromethyl-5-methylisatin to give 2-(1-isatinylmethyloxy-3H-indolin-3-one and 2-(5-methyl-1-isatinylmethyloxy)-5-methyl-3H-indolin-3-one, respectively, i.e., dimers containing isatin rings in lactam and lactim forms. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, PMR, and mass-spectral data.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 217–220, February, 1977.

Influence of the position of the nitro group on the structural and spectroscopic characteristics of N"-(nitrobenzylidene)isonicotinic hydrazides in the crystalline state

N"-Substituted isonicotinic hydrazides of the general formula Py—C(=O)—N(H)-N"=C(H)—R, where R is o- (1), m- (2), or p-nitrophenyl (3), were studied by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The position of the nitro group in these compounds has no effect on the type of the crystal structure. The crystal packings are based on stacks consisting of antiparallel planar molecules. The molecules from the adjacent stacks are linked to each other via the N—H...N_Py hydrogen bonds. Depending on the position of the nitro group, the N...N_Py distance increases in the series 3 > 1 > 2 and the energy of the hydrogen bonds decreases (according to the IR spectroscopic data) from 3.9 to 3.1 kcal mol^–1. Analysis of the IR spectra demonstrated that the intensity of absorption in the (C—H) stretching region of the pyridine ring increases substantially as the the N—H...N_Py hydrogen bond is strengthened. Some regularities of the changes, which are observed for the (NO₂) bands in the spectra of the nitrophenyl-containing conjugated molecules in solutions, persist in the crystalline state.     

Unusual synthesis,structure, and thermochromic properties of novel sterically hindered cyclohexadienes

Oxidation of 4-[-morpholino--(2-hydroxyphenyl)]methyl-2,6-di-(tert-butyl)-phenol (I) follows an unusual course, with formal loss of the benzyl carbon atom, to give 2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-morpholino-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexa-2,5-dienone (II), which is thermochromic in solution. This property is due to the dissociation of (II) into morpholine and 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-2,4-diphenoxyquinone. The structure of (II) was established directly by x-ray diffraction, which enabled its conformational features to be related to its thermochromic properties. An x-ray examination of 3,3,5,5-tetra(tertbutyl)-2,4-diphenoquinone (X), together with the direct synthesis of the thermochromic analog of (II) (2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-morpholino-4-[2-hydroxy-3,5-di(tert-butyl)phenyl]cyclohexa-2,5-dienone) (XI) from (X) and morpholine, confirmed the proposed mechanism of thermochromic dissociation.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1121–1129, May, 1991.The authors thank V.

Photo- and thermochromic mannich bases. 1. Mannich bases from 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-naphthols

Mannich bases exhibiting photo- and thermochromic properties in solutions were synthesized from 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-naphthols. An investigation of an acetyl derivative of methylenequinone, modeling a product of photo- and thermochromic transformations, proved that the color change of solutions of the Mannich bases is due to reversible dissociation into colored methylenequinones and morpholine. On the basis of data of x-ray diffraction analysis of one of the Mannich bases, characteristics of their molecular structure were determined, and reasons were stated for their effect on the dissociation mechanism.
