Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3-Benzoyl-7,7-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2-phenylamino-4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-chromen-5-one

The title compound (C30H27NO3) was synthesized via a one-pot procedure starting from β-benzoylthioacetanilide, benzaldehyde and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, and its struc- ture was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to triclinic system, space group P, with a = 6.325(2), b = 11.243(3), c = 17.553(4) , α = 87.306(4), β = 80.822(4), γ = 77.798(4)°, V = 1204.2(5) 3, Z = 2, Mr = 449.53, Dc = 1.240 g/cm3, μ = 0.080 mm-1, F(000) = 476, the final R = 0.0459 and wR = 0.0970 for 2301 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).     

Synthesis, Characterization and Structural Determination of Ferrocene Derivatives Linked with Benzo[b]pyrans ——2-Amino-7,7-dimethyl-4-ferrocenyl-5-oxo-5,6, 7,8-tetrohydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile

The title compound (C22H22N2O2Fe·CH3OH) was synthesized via a one-pot proce- dure from ferrocenylaldehyde, malononitrile and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione using room temperature ionic liquid and pyridine as the catalysts, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR. The structure was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with a = 9.7085(15), b = 22.951(4), c = 9.987(2) A, β = 112.494(3)°, V = 2055.9(6) A3, Z = 4, Mr = 402.28, Dc = 1.403 g/cm3, μ = 0.759 mm-1, F(000) = 868, the final R = 0.0536 and wR = 0.1449 for 4202 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The supramolecular single-helix chain of the title compound is formed by linking the building units with the hydrogen bond between N1 and N2. The adjacent chains are connected to a 2D layer by the hydrogen bond between N1 and O1. The adjacent layers are further linked by van der waals’ force. The CH3OH molecule is trapped in the interlayer.
