Nitration of the bromophenols (4a) and (5a) give products of nitro-debromination . Reaction of 6-methyl-4-nitro-2-phenylphenol (5c) with nitrogen dioxide gives 2-hydroxy-2-phenylcyclohex-3-enones (8) and (9), and probably stereoisomers (10), (20), (21) and (22). The mode of ormation of these compounds is discussed. X-ray crystal structure determinations are reported for compounds (8) and (9).

Photolysis of the phenanthrene/tetranitromethane charge-transfer complex yields the triad of phenanthrene radical cation, nitrogen dioxide, and trinitromethanide ion. Recombination of this triad in dichloromethane at 20° gives 9-nitrophenanthrene (1), trans-10-trinitromethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-yl nitrate (2a), trans-9-nitro-10-trinitromethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (2b), and trans-10-trinitromethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-ol (2c). Adduct formation is partially suppressed when trifluoroacetic acid (0.7 M) is added to the dichloromethane solvent at 20°, the major product identified being 9-nitrophenanthrene (1). At -20° in dichloromethane, or in acetonitrile at 20°, 10'-nitro-9,9',10,10'-tetrahydro-9,9'-biphenanthren-10-yl nitrate (3) is formed, apparently by reaction of nitrogen dioxide with phenanthrene. X-Ray crystal structure determinations are reported for adducts (2a,b).

Reactions of the epimeric 4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl acetates (10) and (11) with nitrogen dioxide in acetic anhydride give closely similar mixtures of the nitro aromatic compounds (12)-(15), three polynitro nitrate esters (16)-(18), and two polynitro acetates (19) and (20). X-Ray crystal structure determinations are reported for compounds (16)-(18).

The additions of chlorine to the 2,4,6-trichloro-5,6-dimethyl- (7a) and 2,4,6-trichloro-6-methyl- (7b) cyclohexa-2,4-dienones to give pentachlorocyclohexenones (8)-(11) are described. The stereochemistry of some of these additions has been determined from structural studies of the chlorination products of the 2,4-dibromophenols (12). X-Ray crystal structure determinations are reported for compounds (11b), (18), (20) and (23).

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). The geometries of the LCuX2 and CuX2Cu units are compared with data reported for other monomeric and dimeric compounds for both phosphorus- and nitrogen-based ligands L.

Mutations in the gene encoding for phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) result in phenylketonuria (PKU) or hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA). Several 3-dimensional structures of truncated forms of PAH have been determined in our laboratory and by others, using x-ray crystallographic techniques. These structures have allowed for a detailed mapping of the >250 missense mutations known to cause PKU or HPA found throughout the 3 domains of PAH. This structural information has helped formulate rules that might aid in predicting the likely effects of unclassified or newly discovered PAH mutations. Also, with the aid of recent crystal structure determinations of co-factor and substrate analogs bound at the PAH active site, the recently discovered tetrahydrobiopterin-responsive PKU/HPA genotypes can be mapped onto the PAH structure, providing a molecular basis for this tetrahydrobiopterin response.

The crystal structure and thermal properties of the [Formula: see text] compound have been investigated. Structural studies were performed by X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The crystal structure of this compound was found to correspond to the hexagonal symmetry of the space group P61. Thermal properties were studied using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found in the temperature range [Formula: see text] that thermal effects occur at temperatures [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The thermodynamic parameters of these effects are calculated.

Three imidazole hydrazone compounds, namely 2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-N′-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]acetohydrazide, C12H12N6O3, (1), 2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-N′-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]acetohydrazide, C12H12N6O3, (2), and 2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-N′-[(phenyl)(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]acetohydrazide, C17H14N6O3, (3), were obtained and fully characterized, including their crystal structure determinations. While all the compounds proved not to be cytotoxic to J774.A1 macrophage cells, (1) and (3) exhibited activity against Leishmania chagasi, whereas (2) was revealed to be inactive. Since both (1) and (3) exhibited antileishmanial effects, while (2) was devoid of activity, the presence of the acetyl or benzoyl groups was possibly not a determining factor in the observed antiprotozoal activity. In contrast, since (1) and (3) are 4-nitroimidazole derivatives and (2) is a 2-nitroimidazole-derived compound, the presence of the 4-nitro group probably favours antileishmanial activity over the 2-nitro group. The results suggested that further investigations on compounds (1) and (3) as bioreducible antileishmanial prodrug candidates are called for.
