Diacetamide, like other diacylamines, is capable of existing in three basic conformations about the N-C bonds. Optimization (STO-3G) of model systems in which all first-row atoms and the amido hydrogen atom are held coplanar predicts that the E,Z conformer (3) is of lowest energy, the Z,Z conformer (2) of somewhat higher energy (4.2 kJ mol-1), and the E,E conformer (1) of highest energy (23.6 kJ mol-1); 4-31G evaluation of the energies suggests that (1) and (2) are each of higher energy than (3) by 27-28 kJ mol-1. It is suggested that (2) is destabilized with respect to (3) by electrostatic repulsion of the two negatively charged oxygen atoms whereas destabilization of (1) is due to substantial methyl-methyl steric interactions as reflected in the very wide <CNC (136°); the energy of (1) is, however, raised by out-of-plane or rotational movements of the methyl groups, i.e., the preferred structure (excluding methyl hydrogens) is planar. The calculated height of the barrier to internal rotation of (3) by either of two model transition states is 41-45 kJ mol-1, in good agreement with an experimental value of 45.2 kJ mol-1 in solution at -60°.

Dissociation constants and methanolysis rate constants have been measured of 1-acetyl- and 1-benzoylthioureas and their N-methyl derivatives. Replacement of hydrogen atom at N(1) (next to the acyl group) by methyl group increases the acidity of the benzoyl derivative by one order, that of the acetyl derivative by as much as two orders of magnitude. Replacement of both hydrogens at N(3) by methyl groups lowers the methanolysis rate constant by more than two orders, whereas the replacement of hydrogen atom at N(1) by methyl group increases the methanolysis rate by the factor of 30.

A series of 1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxides bearing a sulfonylthiourea moiety were synthesized, characterized, and screened for their antioxidant activity, using six antioxidant analytical assays comparatively to reference compounds, ascorbic acid and quercetin. The results indicated that several compounds demonstrated strong antioxidant activity in DPPH, ABTS, H2O2, and lipid peroxidation assays where some of them were either as active as or more active than reference compounds. However, all compounds were largely less active than references compounds in the reducing power assay. The results indicated that the thiourea moiety probably played a crucial role in the antioxidant activity of the target compounds, as a thiolate ion. The most favorable R1 groups were the hydrogen atom and methyl group, followed by phenyl and benzyl groups, whereas the most favorable R2 group was iPr, followed by the phenyl and methyl groups. The combination of benzothiadiazine ring with sulfonylthiourea moieties led to valuable new antioxidants, which could be used in the treatment or the prevention of certain diseases or in the field of cosmetics, which needs further investigations in the future.

The structure of a cobalt(III) tetraammine complex of 4,5-dihydroxy- 4,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid (abbreviated as hmpc), (RS,RS)-[Co(NH3)4(hmpc)] (ClO4)2,H2O, has been determined from three- dimensional X-ray data collected by counter methods. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a 11.984(5), b 8.836(4), c 19.609(7) Ǻ, β 110.58(2)�, Z 4. The structure has been refined to weighted and unweighted R-factors of 0.068 and 0.063, respectively, for the 1616 independent reflections with I/σ(I) ≥ 3.0. Hydrogen atoms could not be located and have not been included in the scattering model. There is considerable steric strain within the substituted pyrroline ligand, and the C=N distance is 1.293(8) Ǻ. Surprisingly, the methyl groups in the 4- and 5-positions are in a cisoid configuration (the torsion angle for the methyl groups about the 4-5 bond is 39.5�), and consequently the hydroxyl oxygen atoms are close [O-O distance, 2.583(8) Ǻ]; this suggests that there may be a bridging hydrogen atom.

In the title co-crystal, C5H9N2 +·C6H5O3S−·C5H8N2, the two 1,2-dimethylimidazole rings exist as partially protonated moieties in the asymmetric unit as a two-part disordered unit wherein the acidic hydrogen atom is bound to each ring. The two imidazolium cations share a strong hydrogen bond via the acidic hydrogen atom, which is disordered between two positions, being bonded to the first versus second imidazole ring in a 0.33 (2) to 0.67 (2) ratio. A benzene sulfonate anion is present for charge balance and interacts with the aromatic H atoms on both imidazole rings as well as with the methyl groups on the rings.
