The crystal structure of the asymmetric 1,3-diol 1,1-diphenylbutane-1,3-diol has been determined and refined to a residual R of 0.039 for 795 observed reflections. Crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121, with four molecules in a cell of dimensions a 9.625(4), b 16.002(3), c 8.834(3) Ǻ. The compound is unique among the known crystallographically characterized open-chain 1,3-diols in having only intramolecular hydrogen bonding involving the hydroxy groups [O-- -O 2.602(5) Ǻ].

Reaction of olean-12-ene-3β,16β,22α,28-tetrol ( chichipegenin ) (1) with methyl orthoformate gives the 16β,22α,28-orthoformate (2). Acetylation of the ortho ester followed by hydrolysis gives the tetrol 3β-monoacetate (5). It is shown that intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs in the tetrol (1) and the 3β-monoacetate (5) in non-polar solvents. X-Ray crystallographic data on the tetrol and its tetraacetate (4) are reported. The tetrol,C30H50O4, M 474.72, crystallized in the orthorhombic space group P 212121 with a 12.363(6), b 31.888(3), c 6.962(3) Ǻ, V 2745(1) Ǻ3, Dc(Z = 4) 1.149 g cm-3, N = N(unique) 2394, No 1878 [I > 1.5σ(I)], Nvar 500; R 0.038, Rw 0.040. The tetraacetate , C38H58O8, M 642.87, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P 21, with a 10.603(2), b 16.569(1), c 10.814(1) Ǻ, β 98.72(1)°, V 1877.9(4) Ǻ3, Dc(Z = 2) 1.137g cm-3 N 3090, Rmerge 4.67% for N(unique) 2917, No 2663 [I > 2.5σ(I)], Nvar 414; R 0.053, Rw 0.050.

The photoelectron spectra of cis- and trans-2-aminocyclopentanol and cis- and trans-2-(N,N,-dimethylamino)cyclopentanol have been recorded and interpreted. The cis isomers exhibit N lone pair ionizations at higher ionization energy, and O lone pair ionizations at lower ionization energy than their trans isomers.The results are most consistent with the existence and observation of intramolecular hydrogen-bonding in the cis isomers. Infrared data on these systems also show that the cis isomers exist in the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded state.

The structural chemistry of 2-[4,7,10-tris(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1-yl]acetic acid dihydrate, C16H31N7O5·2H2O, is described. The macrocyclic compound, also known by the abbreviation DOTAM-mono-acid, crystallized at room temperature and was isolated concomitantly as two polymorphic forms. The structures of both polymorphs were determined at 90 K. The first polymorph crystallized as a zwitterionic dihydrate [systematic name: 4,7,10-tris(carbamoylmethyl)-1-(carboxylatomethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1-ium dihydrate] in the space group P21/n, with Z′ = 1. The second polymorph crystallized as a zwitterionic dihydrate in the space group P21 at 90 K, with Z′ = 2. The two independent molecules are related by a local center. In each polymorph, the zwitterion is formed between the negatively-charged carboxylate group and the ring N atom that bears the acetate pendant arm. Extensive inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding exists in both polymorphic structures. In polymorph 1, an intermolecular hydrogen-bonding network propagating parallel to the a direction creates an infinite chain. A second hydrogen-bonding network is observed through a water molecule of hydration in the b direction. Polymorph 2 also has two intermolecular hydrogen-bonding networks. One propagates parallel to the a direction, while the other propagates in the [\overline{1}10] direction. Increasing the temperature of polymorph 2 yields the same structure at T = 180 K, but the pseudocenter becomes exact at 299 K. The higher-temperature structure has Z′ = 1 in the space group P21/c.

Azadirachtin-H, isolated from the seed kernels of Azadirachta indica (neem), crystallizes in space group I4, Z = 8, with disordered ethyl acetate solvent filling channels along the fourfold rotation axes. The crystal structure determination showed that the previously reported molecular structure deduced from NMR studies was correct except for the stereochemistry at C(11). Azadirachtin-H, which belongs to a group of C-seco-tetranortriterpenoids (C-seco-limonoids) of great interest for their insect antifeedant and ecdysis-inhibiting activity, has some unusual features: the absence of a carbomethoxy group at C(11); the presence of a cyclic hemiacetal function at C(11); the α-orientation of the hydroxyl group on C(11), opposite to that in all other known azadirachtins with a hydroxyl group on C(11), except azadirachtin-I. There is no intramolecular hydrogen bonding. In this crystal the rotation of the two major moieties of the azadirachtin-H molecule about the single connecting C(8)—C(14) bond is quite different from that in azadirachtin-A, whose crystal structure has recently been determined.
