The crystal structure of the spirobicyclic phosphorane (OCMe2C(O)O)2PH, 1, has been determined. Crystals of C8H13O6P, 1, are orthorhombic, a = 10.515(2), b = 10.623(2), c = 20.552(2) Å, Z = 8, space group Pca21. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.037 (Rw = 0.033) for 1616 reflections with I > 3sigma(I). The structure consists of two independent molecules each displaying a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry; the distortion follows closely the Berry pseudorotation coordinate.Key words: crystal structure, phosphorane, Berry pseudorotation, trigonal bipyramid.

Crystals of the N,N-dimethylethanolaminogallane dimer 1a are monoclinic, a = 8.540(1), b = 7.0433(7), c = 12.227(6) Å, β = 92.94(3)°, Z = 2, space group P21/c and crystals of the N,N-dimethylethanolaminogallium dimethyl dimer 1b are orthorhombic, a = 15.608(3), b = 11.655(2), c = 10.266(2) Å, Z = 4, space group Pccn. Both structures were determined by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R values of 0.039 and 0.053 for 1062 and 1155 reflections with 1 ≥ 3σ(I) respectively. Both structures feature well-separated centrosymmetric dimeric units occurring via the formation of four-membered Ga2O2 rings. The five-coordinate gallium atoms have distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Steric interactions between methyl groups in 1b are believed responsible for the lengthening of the axial Ga—N distance from 2.279(3) in 1a to 2.471(4) Å in 1b. Other bond distances are: for 1a; Ga—O (axial), 2.053(3), Ga—O, 1.911(3), Ga—H, 1.50(7) and 1.73(5), O—C, 1.369(5), N—C, 1.466 – 1.485(6), C—C, 1.512(7), and mean C—H, 1.05; for 1b; Ga—O (axial), 2.078(3), Ga—O, 1.913(3), Ga—C, 1.936(6) and 1.948(7), O—C, 1.382(7), N—C, 1.452–1.482(7−8), C—C, 1.516(9), and mean C—H, 1.01 Å.

The reaction of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine with phenylboronic acid leads to the product 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane rather than the expected product 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,5-diaza-2,4-dioxa-3-boracyclohexane. The structure of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine has been determined and is discussed in terms of its reaction with PhB(OH)2. Crystals of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine are tetragonal, a = 8.5346(3), c = 8.4178(7) Å, Z = 4, space group P421c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.036 and Rw of 0.038 for 333 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers having exact [Formula: see text] symmetry. Keywords: N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine, crystal structure.

Dimedone, C8H12O2, crystallizes with monoclinic symmetry, a = 10.079(7), b = 6.835(3), c = 12.438(4) Å, β = 110.24(5)°, space group P21/n and Z = 4. The structure of this compound was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques using 1205 unique reflections to a final R of 0.047. In the solid state it exists in the enolic form and these molecules pack in the crystal in systems of infinite chains linked together by hydrogen bonds in the y direction. These results are virtually the same as recently reported by Semmingsen.

The synthesis of a series of C-aryl-N-[2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]nitrones, 5 (that can also exist under certain conditions as isomeric 1-hydroxy-2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-4H-3,1-benzoxazines, 8), via 2-(hydroxyamino)benzyl alcohol, 4, and their subsequent reactions with oxybis(diphenylborane), (Ph2B)2O, leading to the 5-(arylmethylene)-7,7-diphenyl-6,8-dioxa- 5-azonia-7-borata-5H-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzocyclo- heptenes 6 are described. Crystals of 1-hydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl)- 1,2-dihydro-4H-3,1-benzoxazine, 8b, are monoclinic, a = 9.379(2), b = 10.699(2), c = 12.9392(7) Å, β = 99.916(2)°, Z = 4 (two independent molecules), space group Pa; those of C-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-N-[(2-hydroxymethyl)phenyl]nitrone, 5c, are monoclinic, a = 7.687(1), b = 7.891(1), c = 11.5053(9) Å, β = 92.781(9)°, Z = 2, space group P21; and those of 5-[4-(dimethylamino)phenylmethylene]-7,7-diphenyl-6,8-dioxa-5-azonia-7-borata-5H-6,7,8,9- tetrahydro-benzocycloheptene, 6a, are monoclinic, a = 10.771(1), b = 13.1057(9), c = 16.8724(7) Å, β = 90.005(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R(F2) = 0.120 (Rw(F2) = 0.135) for all 3149 reflections (R(F) = 0.071, Rw(F) = 0.063 for 1500 reflections with I >3 σ (I)) for 8b and R(F) = 0.035 and 0.036 (Rw(F) = 0.031 and 0.038) for 1071 and 3594 reflections with I >3 σ (I), respectively, for 5c and 6a. Compound 8b is the first structurally characterized 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-4H-3,1-benzoxazine derivative and 6a features a relatively rare seven-membered boron-containing heterocycle.Key words: C-aryl-N-[2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]nitrones, 1-hydroxy-2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-4H-3,1-benzoxazines, organoboron compounds, crystal structures

Alkaline chlorination of the 4-alkyl-2,6-dichlorophenols (2b) and (2c) proceeds through ring contraction and halolactonization to form the 4α- alkyl-2,2,5α-trichloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4-carbolactones (4b) and (4c). Under similar conditions, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol affords the analogous 2,2,4α,5α-tetrachloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4- carbolactone (4a) in low yield, in addition to the Hantzsch acid (3a) as the major product. The acid (3a) upon further treatment undergoes chloro-lactonization to give the lactone (4a). The structures of the lactones (4b) and (4c) follow from spectroscopic comparison with (4a), the structure of which has been established by X-ray diffraction (C6H4Cl4O4 orthorhombic a 13.485(1), b 12.348(1), c 11.371(1) Ǻ, space group Pccn, Z 8, solved by direct methods and refined by block-diagonal and full-matrix least squares to R 0.031, Rw 0.043 for 1313 unique counter data with I/σ(I) ≥ 3.0).

p-Diethylaminobenzenediazonium hexafluorophosphate, C10H14N3+•PF6−, crystallized in space group [Formula: see text] with a = 12.105(4), b = 12.340(5), c = 10.439(4) Å, α = 96.53(3), β = 104.11(3), γ = 64.44(3)°, and Z = 4. The structure was solved using direct methods and refined with full-matrix least-squares techniques on F, to a final R of 0.054 for 1917 reflections with F2 > 3σ(F2). The mean bond lengths for the diazo group are: N—N 1.096(6); C—N 1.357(7) Å. The geometry of the molecule is discussed in terms of the possible resonance forms and it is shown to be consistent with a form in which the N—N triple bond is essentially intact and the aminobenzene moiety has "quinoidal" character.

cis-Inositol monohydrate, C6H12O6.H2O, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/n [a 9.900(8), b 9.296(8), c 17.795(15) Ǻ, β 90.5(1)°, Z 8]. The normalized structure factors Eh have an atypical statistical distribution, and attempts to solve the structure by direct methods (triplet relationships) were unsuccessful. The structure was ultimately solved by Patterson and Fourier methods, and was refined by full-matrix least squares [Rw = 0.047 for 1665 independent reflections ≥2σ(Imin)]. The cis-inositol molecules have approximately trigonal symmetry, as expected. The difficulties encountered during the structure analysis are explained by the presence of two nearly identical molecules of high symmetry in the asymmetric unit. The independent molecules are related by translational pseudosymmetry, and their orientations are such that all the C-C and C-O bonds in the structure are approximately parallel to a small number of directions.
