Ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are central in a wide range of diverse applications in the field of organometallic chemistry. As such, exploration of their preparation and reactivity is crucial for development of their chemistry. Herein, we present alternative synthetic methods for the preparation of Cp*Ru(dppm)Cl, Cp*Ru(dppe)Cl, Cp*Ru(dppf)Cl, [Cp*Ru(COD)(MeCN)]BF4, and [Cp*Ru(bpy)(MeCN)]BF4 (dppm = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane; dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino) ethane; dppf = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene; COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; bpy= 2,2′-bipyridine), starting from the easily accessible [Cp*Ru(η6-C10H8)]BF4. The single-crystal X-ray structure determinations for [Cp*Ru(COD)(MeCN)]BF4, and [Cp*Ru(bpy)(MeCN)]BF4 are also presented.

The 1 : 1 complexes of the substituted triphenylphosphine ligands mesityldiphenylphosphine and dimesitylphenylphosphine with copper(1) chloride, bromide and iodide have been the subject of single-crystal X-ray structure determinations at 295 K. All six complexes crystallize as air-stable dimeric molecules, [(PPh2Mes)CuX]2 and [ (PPhMes2)CUX]2 with each copper atom in a distorted trigonal PCuX2. coordination environment. Crystals of [(PPh2Mes)CuCl]2 (1) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 9.961(3), b 18.687(6), c 11.009(7) Ǻ, β 114.63(4)°; R was 0.049 for 2450 'observed' reflections. [(PPh2Mes)CuBrI2 (2) is monoclinic, P21/n, a 9.939(2), b 18.832(6), c 11.238(6) Ǻ, β 115.36(3)°; R was 0.046 for 1803 'observed' reflections. [(PPh2Mes)CuI]2.4/3 C6H6 (3) is rhornbohedral, R3, a 36.877(8), c 9.047(5) A; R was 0.039 for 2537 'observed' reflections. Crystals of [(PPhMes2)CuCl]2.2MeCN (4) are triclinic, Pi, a 15.783(7), b 9.570(4), c 8.914(4) Ǻ, α 72.43(3), β 76.37(3), γ 74.03(3)°; R was 0.045 for 3341 'observed' reflections. [(PPhMes2)CuBr]2.3C6H6 (5) is monoclinic, C2/c, a 9.694(6), b 30.15(2), c 20.66(2) Ǻ, β 98.00(7)°; R was 0.047 for 2117 'observed' reflections. [(PPhMes2)CuI]2.2MeCN (6) is orthorhombic, PP1nb, a 11.694(8), b 14.77(1), c 29.76(3) Ǻ; R was 0.049 for 3447 'observed' reflections. Cu-P bond lengths are: 2.196(2) A (1); 2.198(3) Ǻ (2); 2.222(5) and 2.226(5) Ǻ (3); 2.202(1) Ǻ (4); 2.197(3) A (5); 2.201(4) and 2.264(5) Ǻ (6).

A variety of approaches towards the synthesis of lincosamine, a derived portion of the antibiotic lincomycin , are reported. Initial approaches involved the intramolecular delivery of a nitrogen atom ( trichloroacetimidate , trichloroacetylcarbamate , carbamate, 2-amino-2- phenylacetate ) attached to O4 onto C6 of a 6,7-anhydrooctoside. Later approaches, albeit more direct but again largely unsuccessful, involved the Sharpless titanium(IV)-mediated nucleophilic opening of a suitable 6,7-anhydrooctose, and the Sharpless oxyamination and the aziridination of suitable octenoses . As an aid to the structure elucidation of several compounds encountered in this work, single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are reported for methyl 6,7-anhydro-2,3-di-O-benzyl-8-deoxy-α-D-threo-D-galacto-octopyranoside , methyl 6,7-anhydro-2,3-di-O-benzyl-8-deoxy-α-D-threo-D-gluco-octopyranoside and 7-azido-7-deoxy-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-β-L-erythro-Dgalacto-octose.

A wide range of α-diazo-β-ketosulfones have been applied to thermally promoted tandem Wolff rearrangement – Staudinger [2+2] cycloaddition with imines to give polysubstituted β-lactam sulfones. Dia­stereomerically pure syn-diastereomers were obtained in good yields and the relative stereochemistry was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. These findings significantly expand the scope of this transformation, in contrast to substantial limitations reported previously. Moreover, this methodology enables flexible exploration of new substitution patterns around the privileged β-lactam core for drug design and optimization.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure determinations are reported for three reaction products and photoisomers formed from reactions between an o-diphenoquinone valence isomer and primary and secondary amines, namely: 3,5-di-t-butyl-7-(3,5-di-t-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-azepin-2-one (8; R1 = R2 = But, R3 = Me), its photochemical isomerization product 4,6-di-t-butyl-1-(3,5-di-t-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-azabicyclo[3,2,0]hept-6-en-3-one (9; R1 = R2 = But, R3 = Me) and 4',5,7-tri-t-butyl-3'-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)-1'-methylspiro[benzofuran-3(2H)-2'- pyrrolidinel-2,5'-dione (12; R1 = R2 = But, R3 = Me).

Agilent Technologies develop and supply X-ray systems for single-crystal diffraction research, including the SuperNova; a compact, highly reliable and very low maintenance instrument providing X-ray data of the highest quality; and the PX Scanner for testing and characterization of protein crystals in their original crystallization drops (in-situ). The SuperNova and PX Scanner are constantly improving, with recent enhancements including a new range of detectors using an Intelligent Measurement System. The Eos S2, Atlas S2 and Titan S2 detector range employs a smart sensitivity control of the electronic gain and is capable of instantaneously switching its binning modes thus providing unprecedented flexibility in tuning every exposure to provide the highest data quality for a wide range of experiments. We have also developed a completely new micro-focus X-ray source based on Gradient Vacuum technology, with novel filament and target designs. This novel source is an integral part of the new Agilent GV1000 X-ray diffractometer, which has been designed for applications that require even higher brightness of the X-ray beam.

The use of 1H NMR spectroscopy, in tandem with X-ray crystallography, has cast light on the conformation of the 1,6-disulfide-bridged derivatives of d-gluco-, d-manno-, d-allo-, d-galacto-, and d-talo-pyranose. A similar investigation was performed on the thiosulfinate derived from the d-gluco disulfide. Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are reported for (1S,5S,6S,7S,8R)-6,7,8-tribenzoyloxy-9-oxa-2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, (1S,5S,6S,7R,8R)-6,7,8-tribenzoyloxy-9-oxa-2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, and (1S,2S,5S,6S,7S,8R)-6,7,8-triacetoxy-9-oxa-2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane 2-oxide.

Following the suggestion made earlier, on the basis of solution spectroscopy, that a number of eriostyl/nitrobenzoate compounds form charge-transfer self-complexes, a number of these have been investigated structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods in order to ascertain the presence or otherwise of such interactions in the solid state. The substances thus studied were eriostyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (1), eriostyl p-nitrobenzoate (2), tetrahydroeriostyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (3), and eriostemyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (4);* structure determinations in all cases, although displaying the presence of strong charge-transfer interactions from the two moieties of each molecule, show that the interactions in the solid state are intermolecular in nature.
