Molecular and crystal structure of methyl 4-methyl-2,2-dioxo-1H-2λ6,1-benzothiazine-3-carboxylate

The title compound, C11H11NO4S, possesses weak analgesic properties and is a source compound for the synthesis of highly active analgesic and anti-inflammatory compounds. The benzothiazine ring adopts a conformation intermediate between twist-boat and sofa. The ester substituent is turned towards the endocyclic double bond because of steric repulsion. In the crystal, the molecules form columns along the [001] direction, bound by N—H...O hydrogen bonds and stacking interactions.

Diastereoisomeric forms of 11-ethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,e]azepine-6-carboxamide: syntheses and the molecular and supramolecular structure of the minor form (6RS,11RS)-11-ethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,e]azepine-6-carboxamide

Compounds containing the tricyclic dibenzo[b,e]azepine system have potential activity in the treatment of a number of diseases. Continuing with our studies on the synthesis of new small and potentially bioactive molecules, a synthetic route, involving acid-catalysed intramolecular Friedel–Crafts cyclization, to the readily separable diastereoisomers of 11-ethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,e]azepine-6-carboxamide, a potentially useful precursor in the synthesis of analogues of some anti-allergenic, antidepressant and antihistaminic drugs currently in use, has been developed starting from 2-allylphenylamine and methyl 2-bromo-2-phenylacetate and proceedingviaracemic methyl 2-[(2-allylphenyl)amino]-2-phenylacetate (A) and racemic 2-[(2-allylphenyl)amino]-2-phenylacetamide (B), to give the two diastereoisomers (I) and (II), C17H18N2O. Isomers (I) and (II), and their precursors (A) and (B), have all been fully characterized spectroscopically. Structure analysis of the minor isomer (I) shows that it has the (6RS,11RS) configuration, and that the azepine ring adopts a conformation intermediate between the boat and twist-boat forms, with the carboxamide and ethyl substituents both occupying quasi-equatorial sites. The molecules of (I) are linked by a combination of N—H...O, N—H...π(arene) and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form complex sheets. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.

Six polycyclic pyrimidoazepine derivatives: syntheses, molecular structures and supramolecular assembly

A versatile synthetic method has been developed for the formation of variously substituted polycyclic pyrimidoazepine derivatives, formed by nucleophilic substitution reactions on the corresponding chloro-substituted compounds; the reactions can be promoted either by conventional heating in basic solutions or by microwave heating in solvent-free systems. Thus, (6RS)-6,11-dimethyl-3,5,6,11-tetrahydro-4H-benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4-f]azepin-4-one, C14H15N3O, (I), was isolated from a solution containing (6RS)-4-chloro-8-hydroxy-6,11-dimethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4-f]azepine and benzene-1,2-diamine; (6RS)-4-butoxy-6,11-dimethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4-f]azepin-8-ol, C18H23N3O2, (II), was formed by reaction of the corresponding 6-chloro compound with butanol, and (RS)-4-dimethylamino-6,11-dimethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4-f]azepin-8-ol, C16H20N4O, (III), was formed by reaction of the chloro analogue with alkaline dimethylformamide. (6RS)-N-Benzyl-8-methoxy-6,11-dimethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4-f]azepin-4-amine, C22H24N4O, (IV), (6RS)-N-benzyl-6-methyl-1,2,6,7-tetrahydropyrimido[5′,4′:6,7]azepino[3,2,1-hi]indol-8-amine, C22H22N4, (V), and (7RS)-N-benzyl-7-methyl-2,3,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrimido[5′,4′:6,7]azepino[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-9-amine, C23H24N4, (VI), were all formed by reaction of the corresponding chloro compounds with benzylamine under microwave irradiation. In each of compounds (I)–(IV) and (VI), the azepine ring adopts a conformation close to the boat form, with the C-methyl group in a quasi-equatorial site, whereas the corresponding ring in (V) adopts a conformation intermediate between the twist-boat and twist-chair forms, with the C-methyl group in a quasi-axial site. No two of the structures of (I)–(VI) exhibit the same range of intermolecular hydrogen bonds: different types of sheet are formed in each of (I), (II), (V) and (VI), and different types of chain in each of (III) and (IV).

Ethyl (4-benzyloxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-sulfanylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate and a redetermination of ethyl (4RS)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-sulfanylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate, as its 0.105-hydrate, both at 200 K: subtly different hydrogen-bonded ribbons

Two sulfanylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized using acid-catalysed cyclocondensation reactions between thiourea, ethyl 3-oxobutanoate and substituted benzaldehydes. In each of ethyl (4RS)-4-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-sulfanylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate, C21H22N2O3S, (I), whereZ′ = 2, and ethyl (4RS)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-sulfanylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate 0.105-hydrate, C15H18N2O3S·0.105H2O, (II), the reduced pyrimidine ring adopts a conformation intermediate between the boat, screw-boat and twist-boat forms. In (I) and (II), a combination of N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds links the organic molecules into ribbons containing alternatingR22(8) andR44(20) rings. In (I), the ribbon contains three types of ring,viz.two differentR22(8) rings which are both centrosymmetric andR44(20) rings which are not centrosymmetric. In (II), the ribbon contains two types of ring, both of which are centrosymmetric. In compound (II), the ribbons enclose continuous channels which run along the twofold rotation axes in the space groupC2/c, and the partial-occupancy water molecules lie within these channels. Structural comparisons are made with a number of related compounds.

Hydrogen-bonded bilayers in 7-benzyl-3-tert-butyl-1-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-spiro[pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5,2′-indan]-1′,3′-dione

In the title compound, C31H29N3O2, the reduced pyridine ring adopts a conformation intermediate between the envelope and half-chair forms. The aryl rings of the benzyl and phenyl substituents are nearly parallel and overlap, indicative of an intramolecular π–π stacking interaction. A combination of two C—H...O hydrogen bonds and one C—H...N hydrogen bond links the molecules into a bilayer havingtert-butyl groups on both faces.<!?tpb=19.5pt>

A chain of π-stacked molecules in 4-(2-chlorophenyl)pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline and a hydrogen-bonded sheet in (4RS)-4-(1,3-1,3-benzodioxol-6-yl)-4,5-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline

In the molecule of 4-(2-chlorophenyl)pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline, C17H11ClN2, (I), the bond lengths are consistent with electron delocalization in the two outer rings of the fused tricyclic system, with a localized double bond in the central ring. The molecules of (I) are linked into chains by a π–π stacking interaction. In (4RS)-4-(1,3-benzodioxol-6-yl)-4,5-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline, C18H14N2O2, (II), the central ring of the fused tricyclic system adopts a conformation intermediate between screw-boat and half-chair forms. A combination of N—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds links the molecules of (II) into a sheet. Comparisons are made with related compounds.

Methyl (3aRS,3cRS,6cSR,7RS,8RS,8aSR)-2,5-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-7,9-bis(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3,4,6-tetraoxododecahydro-1H-dipyrrolo[3,4-a:3′,4′-f]pyrrolizine-3b-carboxylate dimethylformamide disolvate: a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded framework

The racemic title dipyrrolopyrrolizine compound crystallizes from dimethylformamide as a disolvate, C55H39Cl2N7O6·2C3H7NO. None of the four fused heterocyclic rings is planar; one adopts an envelope conformation, two others adopt half-chair conformations and the fourth adopts a conformation intermediate between an envelope and a half-chair. The arrangement of the ring fusions is such as to preclude the possibility of internal mirror symmetry. The three independent molecular components are weakly linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and the dipyrrolopyrrolizine molecules are linked by a combination of four C—H...O and one C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond to form a three-dimensional framework, from which the dimethylformamide solvent molecules are pendent. However, aromatic π–π stacking interactions are absent in the structure.

Structural studies of organoboron compounds. XXIX. 6,6-Diethyl-2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-6-azonia-2-boratacyclooctane monohydrate

Details of the preparation and structure of the title compound are given. Crystals of 6,6-diethyl-2,2-diphenvl-1,3-dioxa-6-azonia-2-boratacyclooctane monohydrate are orthorhombic, a = 7.0322(2), b = 16.3505(7), c = 16.8164(4) Å, Z = 4, space group P212121. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.045 and Rw = 0.050 for 2013 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The monocyclic eight-membered B, N-betaine is the first to be structurally characterized. The eight-membered chelate ring has a conformation intermediate between the S4 and boat-boat forms which is probably stabilized by transannular [Formula: see text] interactions. The average libration-corrected O—B and B—C bond lengths of 1.500 and 1.639 Å are, respectively, the shortest and longest yet observed for an O,O-chelate of diphenylboron.
