1-Substituted indol-3-yl and indol-2-yl disubstituted methanols do not undergo acid-catalysed trimerisation to yield indolocyclotriveratrylenes, unlike the related primary 1-substituted indol-3-yl- and -2-ylmethanols. The 1-substituted indol-3-ylmethanols 10 and 11 gave diindol-3-ylmethanes 12 and 13, respectively, on treatment with p-toluenesulfonic acid in dichloromethane. In contrast, the indol-2-ylmethanols 22 and 23 gave the reduced indolo[3,2-b]carbazoles 24 and 25, respectively, on treatment with boron trifluoride etherate in benzene. An X-ray crystal structure of compound 24 is described.

Oxidative coupling of dimethylmatairesinol with thallium tristrifluoroacetate (prepared in situ from thallium(III) oxide and trifluoroacetic acid) and boron trifluoride etherate gives a high yield of an isostegane which has been isomerized thermally to a stegane. Stereochemical assignments have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies.

AbstractThe sodium form of Faujasite Y (Na-FAU) zeolite has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and it has been exchanged with ammonium sulphate and later with lanthanum (III) chloride solutions to obtain the La-FAU catalyst. The three zeolites Na-FAU, NH4+-FAU and La-FAU have been characterized by microcrystalline X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, surface area, pore volume and Brönsted acid sites. The La-FAU catalyst has been successfully activated with boron trifluoride etherate, and it has been tested in the alkylation reaction of isobutane with isobutene up to 112 h of time on stream, since the raw La-FAU catalyst showed a rapid deactivation.

  1-Phenacyl-3-aryl-4,6-dimethoxyindoles 2b and 2c were obtained in good yields respectively through cyclization of N,N-diphenacylaniline 1b and 1c in trifluoroacetic acid. However, instead of giving pyrroloindole 3c, treatment of phenacylindole 2c with polyphosphoric acid afforded indolizine 5 in 42% yield. Phenacylindole 2c reacts with the Vilsmeier aroylation reagent consisted of a mixture of phosphoryl chloride and p-chloro-N,N-dimethylbenzamide to give 2-aroylindole 6 (32%) and pyrroloindole 7 (22%). When treated with sodium borohydride, phenacylindole 2c gave alcohol 8 in 83% yield. Nonetheless, treatment of alcohol 8 with either p-toluenesulfonic acid in glacial acetic acid or boron trifluoride etherate in benzene did not give the desired dihydropyrroloindole 12. Instead, the reactions afforded respectively acetyl ester 9 and indole 10 in 56% and 63% yield.   Keywords: phenacylindole, aroylindole, pyrroloindole, and indolizine.

2,2,N-Trimethyl-N-phenyl-2H-azirin-3-amine (1a) was prepared by successive treatment of 2,N-dimethyl-N-phenylpropanamide (18) with phosgene, triethylamine, and sodium azide. Reaction of 1a in THF solution with boron trifluoride gave 2-amino-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium tetrafluoroborate (19) in high yield.T he latter reacted with acetic anhydride in pyridine to give a mixture of N-(2,3-dihydro-1,3,3-trimethylindol-2-yliden)acetamide (22) and 2,3-dihydro- 1,3,3-trimethylindol-2-one (21).On hydrolysis with aqueous HCl, 22 was converted to 21.T he molecular structures of 19 and 22 were established by X-ray crystal structure determination.

The preparation of four epoxides (1)-(4) derived from manool [labda-8(17),14-dien-13-ol] and manoyl oxide (8,13-epoxylabdane) via diosphenols is reported. Lewis acid promoted intramolecular rearrangements of these were investigated. Reaction of epoxide (1) with boron trifluoride etherate resulted in the isolation of a novel dimer (44), the structure being elucidated by X-ray crystallography. However, epoxides (2)-(4) yielded monomeric rearrangement products.

Adducts of various acyclic enaminoketones and enaminoaldehydes with the Lewis acids boron trifluoride and triphenylboron were prepared. The adducts were characterized by NMR (1H, 13C, 11B) and IR spectroscopy, FAB-MS, and X-ray crystal structure analysis of the adducts of (E)-3- diethylamino-3-phenyl-2-propenal with BF3 (4a) and BPh3 (5a), respectively. The adduct formation occurs at the oxygen atom of the enaminocarbonyl compound and gives rise to a betainic structure with expressed equalization of the bond orders in the enaminocarbonyl moiety. The gas-phase structures of complexes 4a and 5a and of the corresponding free enaminoaldehyde were determined computationally by RHF and DFT methods, and a Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis was undertaken.

From X-ray analysis, the conclusions are drawn from averaged molecular informations. Thus, limitations are caused when analyzing systems whose symmetry is reduced due to interatomic interactions. In contrast, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) directly images atomic scale surface electron density distribution, with a resolution up to fractions of Angstrom units. The crucial point is the correlation between the electron density distribution and the localization of individual atoms, which is reasonable in many cases. Thus, the use of STM images for crystal structure determination may be permitted. We tried to apply RuCl3 - a layered material with semiconductive properties - for such STM studies. From the X-ray analysis it has been assumed that α-form of this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (AICI3 type). The chlorine atoms form an almost undistorted cubic closed package while Ru occupies 2/3 of the octahedral holes in every second layer building up a plane hexagon net (graphite net). Idealizing the arrangement of the chlorines a hexagonal symmetry would be expected. X-ray structure determination of isotypic compounds e.g. IrBr3 leads only to averaged positions of the metal atoms as there exist extended stacking faults of the metal layers.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.
