The unsaturated lactone (2) derived from manool (1) has a particularly rigid 10-membered ring which gives rise to high asymmetric induction in epoxidation with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The corresponding 11-membered lactone (14) shows greater flexibility. The conformations of lactone (2) and epoxy lactones (12) and (13) have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies.

The crystal structure of trans-anti-trans-4,5:9,10-biscyclohexano-1,3,6,8-tetraoxecane (3) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 11.919(3), b = 17.330(7), c = 7.019(2) Å, β = 98.91(1)°, P21/c, with Z = 4. The structure was solved by application of the tangent formula and refined by large block least squares to a final R value of 0.060 (Rw = 0.058).The ten-membered ring is present in the crystal in a twist-chair-boat-chair conformation — one which has been calculated to be relatively unstable for cyclodecane. Possible reasons why 3 adopts this conformation are discussed.

3β-Acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) reacts with acetic anhydride in pyridine under very mild conditions affording β-lactone IVa and γ-lactones Va and VIIa as condensation products. On reaction with pyridine, lactones Va and VIIa undergo elimination of acetic acid to give unsaturated lactones VIIIa and IXa, respectively. Similarly, the condensation of 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with acetic anhydride leads to β-lactone IVb and γ-lactone Vb; the latter on heating with pyridine affords unsaturated lactone VIIIb and 21-methylene-22-ketone Xb. The structure of the obtained compounds was derived using spectral methods, particularly 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy; structure of lactone IVa was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

Abstract(±)-1-oxoferruginol and (±)-shonanol, two potential intermediates in the synthesis of tricyclic diterpenoid ferruginol, have been prepared and crystal structures of the compounds have been investigated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The methyl groups of the isopropyl moiety in (±)-shonanol are disordered over two positions with occupation factors 0.65(1) and 0.35(1), respectively. Although the chemical structures of two compounds are very similar, a C—C single bond in the terminal six-membered ring of (±)-1-oxoferruginol is replaced by a C=C bond in (±)-shonanol, the quantitative isostructurality index calculations indicate that the structures are not isostructural. Intermolecular O—H…O hydrogen bonds between pairs of molecules in the compounds related by center of inversion lead to characteristic dimers forming R

Iminoyl N-heterocyclic carbine ligand with cationic allyl Pd(II) complex (3) was successfully synthesized by transmetallation of corresponding Ag complex with one equivalent of [Pd(allyl)(COD)]+SbF6–. A slightly distorted square planer structure of the Pd(II) complex 3 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Pd(II) complex 3 is stable in air and found to show moderate activity in the polymerization of norbornene without any activator. The polynorbornene produced with Pd(II) complex 3 was obtained to be stable up to 440 °C. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the polymer indicated addition polymerization of norbornene and the presence of the vinylene group at the end of polymer chain.

AbstractA new tin(II) borate with the composition SnB8O11(OH)4 was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process. It crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21/n (no. 14) with the lattice parameters a=790.1(1), b=1402.2(2), c=994.8(1) pm, and β=90.40(5)° (Z=4). The new compound SnB8O11(OH)4 is isotypic to PbB8O11(OH)4 and isostructural to BaB8O11(OH)4. The borate layers are built up from fundamental building blocks (FBBs) with the composition [B8O11(OH)4]2−. Four of these FBBs form a nine-membered ring wherein the Sn2+ cations are located. These boron-oxygen layers are further connected by O–H···O hydrogen bond interactions. The characterization of SnB8O11(OH)4 is based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, vibrational spectroscopy, DFT calculations, and thermoanalytical investigations including high temperature powder XRD.

The thermolysis of arachno-1 [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H8)(CS2H)] in the presence of tellurium powder yielded a series of ruthenium trithia-borinane complexes: [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3BH}] 2, [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3B(SMe)}] 3, and [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3BH}] 4. Compounds 2–4 were considered as ruthenium trithia-borinane complexes, where the central six-membered ring {C2BS3} adopted a boat conformation. Compounds 2–4 were similar to our recently reported ruthenium diborinane complex [(Cp*Ru){(η2-SCHS)CH2S2(BH2)2}]. Unlike diborinane, where the central six-membered ring {CB2S3} adopted a chair conformation, compounds 2–4 adopted a boat conformation. In an attempt to convert arachno-1 into a closo or nido cluster, we pyrolyzed it in toluene. Interestingly, the reaction led to the isolation of a capped butterfly cluster, [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H5)(CS2H2)] 5. All the compounds were characterized by 1H, 11B{1H}, and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of complexes 2, 3, and 5 were also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

AbstractDiphosphanegold(I) complexes of the form dppmEAuX [dppm = bis(diphenylphosphano)methane, E = S, Se; X = Br, I], dppeEAuX [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphano)ethane; E = O, S; X = Br, I] and dppbzEAuX [dppbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphano)benzene; E = S, Se, X = Br, I] were treated with elemental X2. With dppm, the three products [dppmEAuX2]+X3– (E = S, X = Br (1), I (2); E = Se, X = I (3) were obtained in quantitative yield. These are gold(III) complexes involving a five-membered ring . With dppe, the only related product was [dppeEAuBr2]+Br3– (4), in which the central ring is six-membered with two carbon atoms. These dppe systems are very sensitive to oxidation/hydrolysis of the ligand, and several such unintended products were isolated and identified. The reaction of dppbzSAuBr with bromine leads to [dppbzS]2+[AuBr4]–Br– (5), the dication of which is formally 1,1,3,3-tetraphenylbenzo[d]-2-thia-1, 3-diphosphol-1,3-diium and contains a central five-membered ring . The dications are associated with the bromide anions via S…Br contacts of ca. 3.1 Å to form inversion-symmetric S2Br2 rings. The halogenation of the dppbzSe derivatives leads to loss of selenium and formation of dppbzAuBr3 (6), with [4+1] coordination at gold, or the known compound [dppbzAuI2]+I3– (7). All products 1–6 were subjected to X-ray diffraction analyses, as were four hydrolysis products 4a–d and two further by-products [5(thtBr+)·2Br3–·3(AuBr4–)] (1a) and (tht)AuBr3 (1b). Compound 1a displays unusually short Br…Br contacts of 3.2398(8) Å between neighbouring tetrabromidoaurate(III) ions.

The four ternary gallium(III) chalcogenide halides GaEX with E = S, Se and X = Cl, Br can be prepared a) from the binary gallium(III) chalcogenides Ga2E3 and halides Ga2X6, b) from gallium(I) tetrahalogallates(III) GafGaX4] and the chalcogen E, and c) from gallium metal and the dichalcogen dihalides E2X2. The new method c) was shown to be the most convenient preparation. The products are readily soluble in pyridine to give trinuclear molecular complexes [GaEX·Py]3 which are not volatile without decomposition, but can be purified by crystallization. The structures have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The two chlorides are isostructural and show twisted tub-form six-membered ring molecules with the pyridine donors in axial positions. The two bromides are also isostructural, but with the pyridine ligands in two axial and one equatorial positions

The crystal structure of trans-[Co( tacd )2](ClO4)3 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods and refined to a residual of 0.054 for 2477 independent observed reflections. The crystals are monoclinic, P 21/c, a 18.627(2), b 9.3438(5), c 16.057(2)Ǻ, β 119.45(2)°. Two complex cations are located at centres of symmetry and the ligands adopt λ,δ,chair conformations. Bond lengths from cobalt to nitrogen atoms in the six- membered ring (average 1.995 Ǻ) are significantly longer than those only associated with five- membered rings (average 1.961 Ǻ).
