Bromination of the phenylalanine derivative (1) affords the bromides (2) and (3), which react by stereospecific anti-elimination to give the isomeric pair of stable dehydrophenylalanine derivatives (4) and (5). The molecular structures of (4)and (5), which have been determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis, correlate with their lack of interconversion and the unusual stability of (5).

The heterocyclic derivatives, 8,9-dimethoxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-3,4,5,6- tetrahydro-1H-2,3-benzoxazocine(3a) and 9,10-dimethoxy-3-methyl-1- phenyl-1,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2,3-benzoxazonine (3b),examples of two new ring systems, have been prepared by Meisenheimer rearrangement of the corresponding 2-benzazepine and 2-benzazocine N-oxide derivatives (2a) and (2b). The Bischler-Napieralski-type cyclization reaction was used in the preparation of the tertiary amine precursors of these N-oxides reaction conditions for the cyclization were critical and phosphorus oxychloride in refluxing butanenitrile was found to give the best yields of the seven- or eight-membered cyclic imine intermediates. Reductive cleavage of the benzoxazocine derivative (3a) with zinc in acetic acid followed by N-methylation gave the expected product, [2-{3- (dimethylamino)propyl}-4,5-di-methoxyphenyl]phenylmethanol (12). The crystal and molecular structure of (3a) has been determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Meisenheimer rearrangement of the N-oxides (4) derived from a series of 5-aryl-4-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-benzoxazepines (3) gave rise to eight derivatives (5) of the new 2H,6H-1,5,4-benzodioxazocine ring system. Reaction of 9-methoxy-5-methyl-6-phenyl-3,4,5,6- tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzoxazocine (6) with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid gave an unstable N-oxide (7). A Meisenheimer rearrangement product from (7), 10-methoxy-5-methyl-7-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7 H-1,6,5- benzodioxazonine (8), the first example of this ring system, was isolated directly in moderate yield on oxidation of (6) with cooling. The crystal and molecular structure of (8) has been determined by X-ray crystallographic methods.

Cotton leaf spot (Alternaria macrospora) is a widespread disease that occurs in the main cotton-producing area of China. In managing this disease, a novel chitosan-based biopesticide, an amphiphilic N-alkyl-O-carboxymethyl chitosan derivative, was prepared. The product was selected from variations of chitosan with different molecular structures, which were obtained via a two-step reaction. First, carboxymethyl chitosans with varying molecular sizes were obtained by etherification with chloroacetic acid; then the carboxymethyl chitosan was alkylated with C4–C12 fatty aldehyde through a Schiff-base reaction. This procedure resulted in derivatives of amphiphilic N-alkyl-O-carboxymethyl chitosan, which showed strong antifungal activities against A. macrospora, and the efficacy was determined by its molecular structure.

Starting from 4-bromoacetophenone 1, the 4-bromo-β -hydroxydithiocinnamic acid 2 and the 4-bromo-β -hydroxydithiocinnamic acid hexyl ester 3 were prepared using carbon disulfide and potassium-tert-butylate as a base. Acting as a ligand, the acid gives 1,1-ethenedithiolato complexes with (Ph3P)2Pt(II) (4a), (Et3P)2Pt(II) (4b), dppePt(II) (4c), (Ph3P)2Pd(II) (4d), dppePd(II) (4e), and dppeNi(II) (4f). In contrast to the acid, the deprotonated ester 3 forms a monoanionic bidentate ligand. [O,S] Complexes of Pt(II) (5a), Pd(II) (5b) and Ni(II) (5c) were obtained. All complexes have been fully characterised using 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 31P NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The molecular structures of the complexes 4b and 5a - 5c were determined by X-ray diffraction analyses.

AbstractThe reaction of (tht)AuCl (tht=tetrahydrothiophene) with KSCN leads to a mixture of gold(I) thiocyanate AuSCN and [(tht)2Au]+ [Au(SCN)2]−1. The compounds were separated and the X-ray structure of 1 confirmed as an alternating chain of anions and cations linked by aurophilic contacts. Either pure AuSCN or the mixture was used to synthesize further derivatives of AuSCN, all of which were investigated by X-ray methods. Most products were of limited stability when removed from their mother liquor. The dimethyl sulfide derivative 2 is molecular, (Me2S)AuSCN; the ammonia derivative 3 is ionic, [(NH3)2Au]+ [Au(SCN)2]−. The reaction with 2,2-bipyridyl leads (presumably by involvement of the solvent or of atmospheric moisture) to [bipy-H]+ [Au(SCN)2]−13. All other products involve amines or azaaromatics as ligands L. The primary amine tert-butylamine forms an ionic product [L2Au]+ (SCN)−4. The secondary amines piperidine and dibenzylamine lead to molecular structures LAuSCN (5 and 6), whereas pyridine-based azaaromatics lead to ionic products [L2Au]+ [Au(SCN)2]− with L=2-, 3- or 4-picoline (7–9), 2,4-, 3,4- or 3,5-lutidine (10–12). The 3,4-lutidine derivative 11 forms two polymorphs that tend to form mixed crystals. The dominant features of the crystal packing for 7–12 are short aurophilic interactions.

2,5-Dihydroimidazoline-l-oxyl radicals I, II with imino substituents coordinate to Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes with formation of the N,N chelate complexes 1-6. With oxygen containing substituents either monodentate N-coordination to give 8 or N ,O chelate formation to give 9 takes place, depending on the position of the oxygen atom relative to the ring nitrogen atom. With radicals III that also have the second ring nitrogen atom oxidized and the Rh(III) or Ir(III) complexes [Cp*MCl2]2 the O , O chelates 11 -13 could be obtained, while with Na2PdCl4 the heterocycle was destroyed with formation of a N,N chelate complex 10 of an α-nitrosooxime ligand. The orthopalladated 2,2,5,5 tetramethyl-4-phenyl-2,5-dihydroimidazoline-l-oxyl complex 7a reacts with several a-amino acidates under splitting of the dichloro bridge with formation of the C,N/N,O-bis-chelate complexes 7b-f. The molecular structures of 2 and 10 were determined by X-ray diffraction.

A series of derivatives of 2-hetaryl-1,3-tropolone (β-tropolone) was prepared by the acid-catalyzed reaction of 2-methylbenzoxazoles, 2-methylbenzothiazoles and 2,3,3-trimethylindoline with 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone. The molecular structures of the three representative compounds were determined by X-ray crystallography. In crystal and (as shown by the DFT PBE0/6-311+G** calculations) in solution, 2-hetaryl-4,5,6,7-tetrachloro- and 2-hetaryl-5,6,7-trichloro-1,3-tropolones exist in the NH-tautomeric form with a strong resonance-assisted intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bond. The mechanism of the formation of 1,3-tropolones in the reaction of methylene-active five-membered heterocycles with o-chloranil in acetic acid solution has been studied using density functional theory (DFT) methods. The reaction of 2-(2-benzoxa(thia)zolyl)-5,6,7-trichloro(4,5,6,7-tetrachloro)-1,3-tropolones with alcohols leads to the contraction of the seven-membered tropone ring with the formation of 2-(2-benzoxa(thia)zolyl)-6-alkoxycarbonylphenols. The molecular structure of 2-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-6-hydroxy-3,4,5-trichlorophenyl)benzoxazole has been determined by X-ray diffraction. 2-(2-Benzoxa(thia)zolyl)-6-alkoxycarbonylphenols display intense green fluorescence with anomalous Stokes shifts caused by the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) effects.
