A versatile synthetic procedure is described to prepare the benzimidazole-fused 1,2,4-thiadiazoles 2a–c via a methanesulfonyl chloride initiated multistep cyclization involving the intramolecular reaction of an in-situ generated carbodiimide with a thiourea unit. The structure of the intricate heterocycle 2a was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis and its mechanism of formation supported by DFT computations.
The absolute configurations of the diastereomeric 10-hydroxyaloins, which may be regarded as parent structures for other naturally occurring oxanthrone-C-glucosyls, have been established as 10R, 16 R (A) and 10 S, 16 R (B) by an X-ray structure analysis of the A-octaacetyl derivative (C 16 is the anomeric glucosyl carbon atom). The determination was confirmed by CD spectroscopic comparison with the structural analogues aloins A and B, which should prove useful for making future configurational assignments within this class of compounds. A conformational analysis by the use of a molecular modeling method based on force-field calculations reveals the presence of an extra- and an intra-form, the extra-form of which is energetically preferred.
Crystals of [Al(C5H5N)4Cl2][AlCl4] are orthorhombic, Pna21, Z = 4, a = 18.522(7), b = 15.141(5), c = 9.593(3) Å, V = 2690(2) Å3 , Dc = 1.440 g/cm3 . The structure has been solved from 5968 diffractometer measured intensities and refined by full-matrix least squares to Rw(F) = 0.032. The crystal structure shows the complex to be trans-dichloro-tetrakis(pyridine)aluminium(III) tetrachloroaluminat(III). The mean trans Al-Cl-and trans Al-N-distances in the octahedron are 2.279(3) and 2.070(4) Å, respectively. Crystals of Al(C5H5N)3Cl3 are monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4, a = 7.261(2), b = 29.961(4), c = 8.624(1) Å, β = 98.12(2)°, V -1857(1) Å3 , DC = 1.326 g/cm3 . The structure has been solved from 4707 diffractometer measured intensities and refined to Rw(F) = 0.028. The crystal structure shows octahedral complexes AlCl3·3 (C5H5N) with trans geometry. The Al-N-distance trans to chlorine (2.096(2) Å) is significantly longer than the two other Al-N-distances (mean 2.072(2) Å).
In the title molecule, C18H17N5O2, the dihedral angle between the benzene plane and the benzimidazole plane is 19.8 (1)° and the angle between the benzene plane and the triazole plane is 16.7 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are connected by O—H[cdots, three dots, centered]N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along the c-axis direction. The chains are connected by bifurcated N—H[cdots, three dots, centered](N,N) hydrogen bonds into layers parallel to (100). These layers are connected along the a-axis direction by weak C—H[cdots, three dots, centered]O contacts, forming a three-dimensional network.
In the title compound, C30H34N2O6, the complete molecule is generated by a crystallographic 2/m symmetry operation. The 1-oxyl-3-pyrroline-3-carboxylate group lies on a mirror plane. The dihedral angle between the ring planes of the biphenyl fragment is constrained by symmetry to be zero, resulting in rather short intramolecular H...H contact distances of 2.02 Å. In the crystal, molecules are connected along the a-axis direction by very weak intermolecular methyl-phenyl C-H...[pi] interactions. The C-H bond is not directed to the center of the benzene ring, but mainly to one C atom [C-H...C(x - 1, y, z): H...C = 2.91 Å and C-H...C = 143°]. Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 169 K; mean σC–C) = 0.002 Å ; R factor = 0.049; wR factor = 0.126; data-to-parameter ratio = 19.8.
Pyrazolyl-substituted 1,4-dihydroxybenzene and 1,4-dihydroxynaphthene derivatives have been synthesized by reaction of 1,4-benzoquinone and 1,4-naphthoquinone, respectively, with pyrazole. Cyclovoltammetric measurements have shown that 1,4-benzoquinone possesses the potential to oxidize 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)- and 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroxybenzene. The 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)- 1,4-dihydroxybenzene reacts with air to give quantitatively black insoluble 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4- quinhydrone. Black crystals of 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4-quinhydrone suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from methanol at ambient temperature (monoclinic C2/c). The poor yields of pyrazolylsubstituted 1,4-dihydroxybenzene and 1,4-dihydroxynaphthene derivatives can be explained by the formation of insoluble black quinhydrons in the reaction of benzoquinone and naphthoquinone with pyrazole. The dianions of 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)- and 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroxybenzene react with oxygen to give the corresponding semiquinone anions. 2,5-Bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4-benzoquinone shows two reversible one-electron reduction processes in cyclovoltammetric measurements, whereas pyrazolyl-substituted 1,4-dihdroxybenzene and -naphthene derivatives undergo irreversibile electrontransfer processes.
The crystal structure of C12H11N2SiCl3 (monoclinic, P21/m, Z = 2, with a: 9.284(4), b: 7.226(2), c: 10.832(5) Å, β = 115.14(3)°) was refined to R(F) =0.035 from 1228 independent reflections. A trigonal bipyramidal, pentacoordinate silicon is observed. The chelated complex shows two different Si−N bonds, a coordinative bond (1.984(2) Å) between Si and N on the axial position and a Si−N single bond (1.737(3) A, equatorial plane), introduced by chemical reaction. The coordinative bond is 14.2% longer than the Si−N single bond. The lengthening of the coordinative bond in the present case is compared with distances in other extracoordinated silicon compounds.
A new procedure for the synthesis of 2-(4-propylphenyl)ethanol is provided. This new procedure significantly reduces side-products as 1-(4-propylphenyl)ethanol and 2-bromoethanol, which are obtained when using the previously known procedure. Only with the new procedure an efficient purification on the large scale needed for avoided-level-crossing muon-spin resonance experiments was possible.
Structural details of the title compound could be derived from an X-ray structure analysis of a crystalline derivative, the nitrobenzoyl ester.
A chiral analog of the bicyclic guanidine TBD : synthesis, structure and Brønsted base catalysis
(2016)
Starting from (S)-β-phenylalanine, easily accessible by lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution, a chiral triamine was assembled by a reductive amination and finally cyclized to form the title compound 10. In the crystals of the guanidinium benzoate salt the six membered rings of 10 adopt conformations close to an envelope with the phenyl substituents in pseudo-axial positions. The unprotonated guanidine 10 catalyzes Diels–Alder reactions of anthrones and maleimides (25–30% ee). It also promotes as a strong Brønsted base the retro-aldol reaction of some cycloadducts with kinetic resolution of the enantiomers. In three cases, the retro-aldol products (48–83% ee) could be recrystallized to high enantiopurity (≥95% ee). The absolute configuration of several compounds is supported by anomalous X-ray diffraction and by chemical correlation.
