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).

The molecular and crystal structure of the [Pt(dien)Br]Br complex (dien = diethylenetriamine) has been studied by X-ray diffraction. The compound belongs to the orthorhombic Pca21 space group and the cell parameters are: a = 14.211, b = 4.940, c = 13.450 Å, and Z = 4. The refinement of the positional and anisotropic thermal parameters, carried out by full matrix least squares calculations, converged to R = 0.039 and Rw = 0.036.The coordination around the platinum atom is planar. The crystal consists of alternate layers of [Pt(dien)Br]+ cations and Br− ions parallel to the ac plane.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Tl(S2CNEt2)3], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K and refined by full-matrix least squares to a residual of 0.050 for 2517 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, with space group A2/a, a 14.789(7), b 10.428(4), c 18.207(9) Ǻ, β 118.11(4)°, Z 4, and are isostructural with those of the previously determined gallium and indium analogues, the molecule having 2 symmetry with <Tl-S> 2.666 Ǻ. As in the dimethyl/thallium analogue, the departure of the TlS6 core symmetry from 3 is large and is examined in terms of electron-pair repulsion theory.

The stereochemistry of 3a, one of the 2-acetyl-3,5,6-trihydroxy-5,6-dimethylcyclohexenones, obtained by rearrangement of 2,3-diacetyl-4-hydroxy-4-methylcyclopentenone, 2a, under basic conditions, was determined by an X-ray crystal structure analysis. An ORTEP plot shows the configuration of (5RS,6RS)-2-acetyl-3,5,6-trihydroxy-5,6-dimethylcyclohexenone and the presence of a conjugated chelated system involving the H-bonding between O(3)… H(31) and H(31)… O(2).Crystals of 3a are triclinic, a = 10.979(4), b = 7.766(3), c = 6.382(3) Å, α = 86.23(2), β = 72.86(1), γ = 88.23(2)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.036 and Rw = 0.039 for 1324 reflections with I > 3σ(I).The structure of 3a consists of centrosymmetric dimers which contain a nearly planar bicyclic system of a cyclohexenone moiety and a chelated system (Scheme 2).The pathway of the reaction allows one to put forward some hypothesis on the stereochemistry of some analogues of the cyclohexenones 3a and 3b.Faisant appel à la diffraction des rayons-X, on a déterminé la stéréochimie du composé 3a, une des acétyl-2 trihydroxy-3,5,6 diméthyl-5,6 cyclohexénones obtenues par une transposition de la diacétyl-2,3 hydroxy-4 méthyl-4 cyclopenténone, 2a, en milieu alcalin. Une courbe ORTEP démontre que la configuration est (5RS,6RS) pour l'acétyl-2 trihydroxy-3,5,6 diméthyl-5,6 cyclohexénone et qu'il existe un système de chélation conjugué impliquant des liaisons hydrogènes entre O(3)… H(31) et H(31)… O(2).

Porphyrins containing one to four 4-pyridyl groups as meso-substituents were synthesized via a mixed aldehyde condensation, and then "N-oxidized" with m-chloroperbenzoic acid to produce five novel (oxidopyridyl) porphyrins and seven porphyrin-N-oxides, which were characterized by analysis and spectroscopic methods, especially NMR; an X-ray crystal structure of 5-(1-oxido-4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin was also obtained. Crystals of (oxidopyridyl)triphenylporphyrin are tetragonal, a = b = 15.174(1), c = 13.709(1) Å, Z = 4, space group I2d. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.031 (Rw = 0.026) for 685 reflections with I [Formula: see text] 3σ(I). Sulfonation of two of the (oxidopyridyl)porphyrins was achieved readily with no loss of oxygen from the oxidopyridyl groups. Tirapazamine (3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine-1,4-di-N-oxide) was treated with triphosgene to yield the previously reported 2H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[3,2-c][1,2,4]benzotriazin-2-one-5-oxide (1); this reacts like an isocyanate and with 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin yields a tirapazamine-porphyrin conjugate (2).Key words: porphyrin-N-oxides, (oxidopyridyl)porphyrins, tirapazamine.

The molecular and crystal structure of cis-dichlorobis (dimethylsulfoxide) platinum(II), cis-[PtCl2(DMSO)2], has been studied by X-ray diffraction. The compound belongs to the mono-clinic P21/c space group and the cell parameters are: a = 8.653, b = 13.580, c = 10.914 Å, β = 123.43°, and Z = 4. The refinement of the positional and anisotropic thermal parameters, carried out by full matrix least-squares calculations, converged to R = 0.029 and Rw = 0.027.The coordination around the platinum atom is planar. As expected, the DMSO molecules are bonded to the platinum atom through sulfur. The bond distances found are: Pt—Cl = 2.306, 2.312 Å; Pt—S = 2.244, 2.229 Å; S—O = 1.469, 1.454 Å, and S—C = 1.77 to 1.79 Å. The crystal consists of layers of molecules parallel to the ac plane.

The molecular structures of exo-7-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one, 3, and the endo-7-methyl isomer, 4, have been determined using X-ray-diffraction techniques. Compound 3 crystallizes in the space group [Formula: see text] with a = 15.115(1), c = 7.677(2) Å, and Z = 8 while 4 crystallizes in the space group P21 with a = 6.446(1), b = 7.831(1), c = 8.414(2) Å, β = 94.42(2)°, and Z = 2. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to final agreement factors of R = 0.041 and R = 0.034 for 3 and 4 respectively. Compound 3 exists in a chair–chair conformation and there is no significant flattening of the chair rings. However, in 4, the non-ketone ring is forced into a boat conformation. These results are significant in interpreting what conformations may be present in the related sp2-hybridized carbocations.
