The absolute configuration of the title molecule, [Fe(C5H5)(C38H34NP2)]·CHCl3, is R,Rp. The molecular structure is similar to the structure of the solvent-free compound [Fukuzawa, Yamamoto & Kikuchi (2007). J. Org. Chem. 72, 1514-1517], but some torsion angles about the P-Cphenyl bonds differ by up to 25°. The P atoms and the N atom have a distorted trigonal-pyramidal geometry. The chloroform solvate group donates a C-H...[pi] bond to the central benzene ring and is also involved in six intermolecular C-H...Cl contacts with H...Cl distances between 2.96 and 3.13 Å. Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 163 K; mean σ(C–C) = 0.003 Å; R factor = 0.039; wR factor = 0.088; data-to-parameter ratio = 24.2.
The absolute configuration of the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C36H29OP2)], is Sp at the ferrocene group and S at the asymmetric C atom. Both P atoms have a trigonal-pyramidal conformation. There is a short intramolecular C-H...P contact with an H...P distance of 2.56 Å. The hydroxy group is involved in an intramolecular O-H...[pi]phenyl interaction. The crystal packing shows five very weak intermolecular C-H...[pi] contacts, with H...Cg distances between 3.26 and 3.39 Å (Cg is the centroid of a phenyl or cyclopentadienyl ring). Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 162 K; mean σ(C–C) = 0.004 Å; R factor = 0.038; wR factor = 0.083; data-to-parameter ratio = 22.3.
C2-symmetric bisamidines : chiral Brønsted bases catalysing the Diels-Alder reaction of anthrones
(2008)
C2-symmetric bisamidines 8 have been tested as chiral Brønsted bases in the Diels- Alder reaction of anthrones and N-substituted maleimides. High yields of cycloadducts and significant asymmetric inductions up to 76% ee are accessible. The proposed mechanism involves proton transfer between anthrone and bisamidine, association of the resulting ions and finally a cycloaddition step stereoselectively controlled by the chiral ion pair.
The structures of seven di- or tetrasubstituted p-benzoquinone derivatives O=C(XC=CH )2C=O and O=C(XC=CX)2C=O with substituents X = -OCH3, -N(CH2)5, - N(CH2CH2)2O, -Cl, -CN and -⊕N(HC=CH)2C-N(CH3)2 are presented and discussed in comparison with published ones substituted by X = -Si(CH3)3, -C6H5, -N(CH3)2, -⊕N(HC=CH)2CN(CH3)2, -O⊖ , and - NO2. Based on the introduction, in which halfwave-reduction potentials, geometry-optimized quantum-chemical calculations on substituent perturbation and known structural data of p-benzoquinone derivatives are used to characterize their molecular ground states. The structural changes indicate how substituent perturbations might be rationalized. Of the categories defined - imperturbed, donor, donor/acceptor and acceptor perturbed - the donorsubstituted p-benzoquinones do exhibit the largest differences, often called cyanine distorsion. In very satisfactory agreement with extensive semiempirical calculations, all effects determined experimentally are discussed in terms of varying charge distribution. With respect to the biochemical importance of p-benzoquinone derivatives, this first structural summary points out important facets.
1,4-Bis(trimethylsiloxy)benzene has been crystallized both by vacuum sublimation and from «-heptane solution, which each yielded colourless plates with identical monoclinic unit cell dimensions (P2/n, Z = 4). The conformation of C[ symmetry shows the two (H3C)3SiO-substituents to be conrotationally twisted around the O-( C6H4)-O axis by dihedral angles o f ± 60°. According to the photoelectron spectroscopic ionisation pattern and its Koopmans’ assignment, IEVn = -εJAM 1, by AM 1 eigenvalues, the gas phase structure should also be of C, symmetry. The results of geometry-optimized MNDO , AM 1 or PM 3 calculations for the monosubstituted derivative H5C6-OS i(CH3)3 are compared with respect to the quality of their fit to the measured data.
Crystals of lemon yellow dipotassium nitranilate and of yellow disodium nitranilate dihydrate have been grown and their structures determined at 290 and 200 K. The six-member- ed, O2N-disubstituted rings show a pronounced cyanine distortion with all four CO bonds identical and the two (OCC(NO2)CO)⊖ chains connected by single CC bonds of each 156 pm length. In the anhydrous K⊕ salt, the ring is planar, but in the Na⊕ hydrate salt it exhibits a twist conformation. Quantum chemical calculations allow to reproduce the structure in every detail, demonstrate strong charge alternation along the cyanine chains with considerable delocalization into the O2N acceptor substituents, and suggest that the rather long connecting CC bonds contain positively charged carbon centers on both ends. In addition, metal ion coordination effects as well as the rather high pKa value of nitranilic acid are rationalized.
The title molecule, C34H28I4·4C6H6, has crystallographic 4 symmetry and crystallizes with four symmetry-related benzene solvent molecules. The phenyl group is eclipsed with one of the adamantane C—C bonds. The tetraphenyladamantane units and the benzene solvent molecules are connected by weak intermolecular phenyl–benzene C—H⋯π and benzene–benzene C—H⋯π interactions. In the crystal, molecules are linked along the c-axis direction via the iodophenyl groups by a combination of weak intermolecular I⋯I [3.944 (1) Å] and I⋯π(phenyl) [3.608 (6) and 3.692 (5) Å] interactions.
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.
Single crystals of the title compound, C10H11NO4, an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of yellow azo pigments, were obtained from the industrial production. The molecules crystallize as centrosymmetic dimers connected by two symmetry-related N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds. Each molecule also contains an intramolecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond. The dimers form stacks along the a-axis direction. Neighbouring stacks are arranged into a herringbone structure.
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.
