As part of the molecular recognition studies on the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) a series of fluorinated IAA's has been examined. The phenyl ring substitution at positions 4, 5, 6 and 7 resulted in four compounds, which were analyzed. Structure–activity correlation includes the analysis of their molecular conformations, based on the X-ray diffraction and computational chemistry results, and bioactivity determinations in the Avena coleoptile and the Pisum sativum stem straight-growth tests, lipophilicity and UV absorbance. The conformations of monofluorinated IAA's and a free hormone are defined by rotations about two bonds: one describes the relative orientation of a side chain towards the indole plane and the second the orientation of the carboxylic group. The results of X-ray structure analysis revealed the folded shape of the molecules in all compounds studied. Molecular mechanics and dynamics located the folded conformation as the local minimum, but failed to detect the planar conformation as one of the local minima, which according to ab initio results on IAA and 4-CI-IAA could also be possible. Crystal data at 295 K for 4-F-IAA and at 297 K for 5-F-IAA, and at 100 K for 6-F-IAA and 7-F-IAA using Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) and Cu Kα (λ = 1.5418 Å, for 7-F-IAA), are as follows: 4-F-IAA, C10H8NO2F, Mr = 193.18, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 17.294 (5), b = 13.875 (4), c = 7.442 (4) Å, β = 103.88 (6)°, V = 1734 (1) Å3, Z = 8, Dx = 1.480 g cm−3, μ = 1.1 cm−1, F(000) = 800, R = 0.043, wR = 0.044 for 823 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 3σ(I)] reflections; 5-F-IAA, C10H8NO2F, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 19.284 (5), b = 5.083 (4), c = 9.939 (4) Å, β = 117.28 (6)°, V = 865.9 (1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.482 g cm−3, μ = 1.1  cm−1, F(000) = 400, R = 0.062, wR = 0.057 for 729 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 3σ(I)] reflections; 6-F-IAA, C10H8NO2F, monoclinic, P21/a, a = 9.360 (1), b = 5.167 (4), c = 17.751 (4) Å, β = 93.75 (1)°, V = 856.7 (8) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.498 g cm−3, μ = 1.1 cm−1, F(000) = 400, R = 0.048, wR = 0.048 for 1032 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 2σ(I)] reflections; 7-F-IAA, C10H8NO2F, monoclinic, P21/a, a = 9.935 (5), b = 5.0059 (4), c = 17.610 (1) Å, β = 102.13 (1)°, V = 856.3 (1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.498 g cm−3, μ = 9.8 cm−1 (Cu Kα, F(000) = 400, R = 0.035, wR = 0.040 for 1504 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 2σ(I)] reflections.

Indole 3 Acetic Acid

The physiological properties of the phytohormone (auxin) indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and its ring substituted derivatives have so far been rationalized by a number of contradictory hypotheses based on incomplete structural data deduced mainly by inspection of molecular models. In order to give more evidence for structure–activity relationships of monohalogenated IAA's, the molecular structures of the natural auxin 4-CI-IAA as well as 5-CI-IAA, 6-CI-IAA, 7-CI-IAA and 5-Br-IAA have been compared, as revealed by X-ray analysis, and molecular mechanics and dynamics. The influence of the substitution site and the size of the halogen atom and bioactivity is discussed. The typical structural feature of the molecules studied is the slight distortion of part of the indole nucleus around C7: bond length C6—C7 1.368 (6) Å and C6—C7—C71 117.6 (3)° (average values of five structures and seven molecules). The conformations of monohalogenated indole-3-acetic acid molecules, characteristic for auxins, are defined by rotations about two bonds only: one describes the relative orientation of a side chain towards the indole moiety and the second the orientation of the carboxylic group. The results of X-ray structure analysis, and molecular mechanics and dynamics revealed the folded shape of the molecules in all compounds studied. Ab initio calculations showed that the planar conformation can be adopted as well. Crystal data at 297 K for 4-CI-IAA, 6-CI-IAA, 7-CI-IAA and 5-Br-IAA, and at 220 K for 5-CI-IAA, using Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å), and CuKα (λ = 1.5418 Å) for 6-CI-IAA, are as follows: 4-CI-IAA, C10H8ClNO2, Mr = 209.63, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 7.313 (4), b = 17.156 (4), c = 7.640 (4) Å, β = 92.71 (5)°, V = 957.5 (1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.454 g cm−3, μ = 3.7 cm−1, F(000) = 432, R = 0.037, wR = 0.039 for 1040 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 3σ(I)] reflections; 5-CI-IAA, C10H8ClNO2, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 19.141 (4), b = 5.154 (2), c = 10.323 (3) Å, β = 116.23 (2)°, V = 913.5 (1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.524  g cm−3, μ = 3.8 cm−1, F(000) = 432, R = 0.039, wR = 0.042 for 1184 symmetry-independent [I≥ 3σ(I)] reflections; 6-CI-IAA, C10H8ClNO2, orthorhombic, Pbca, a = 61.08 (1), b = 12.115 (7), c = 7.674 (5) Å, V = 5679 (5) Å3, Z = 24, Dx = 1.471 g cm−3, μ = 33.9 cm−1, F(000) = 2592, R = 0.052, wR = 0.052 for 3030 symmetry-independent [I ≥ σ(I)] reflections; 7-CI-IAA, C10H8ClNO2, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 20.244 (5), b = 4.829 (2), c = 10.728 (4) Å, β = 116.30 (1)°, V = 940 (1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.481 g cm−3, μ = 3.7 cm−1, F(000) = 432, R = 0.042, wR = 0.029 for 889 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 3σ(I)] reflections; 5-Br-IAA, C10H8BrNO2, Mr = 254.08, triclinic, P{\bar 1}, a = 5.645 (3), b = 9.713 (4), c = 10.019 (4) Å, α = 116.02 (3), β = 92.67 (5), γ = 100.12 (4)°, V = 481.2 (5) Å3, Z = 2, Dx = 1.754 g cm−3, μ = 42.0 cm−1, F(000) = 252, R = 0.029, wR = 0.020 for 1865 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 3σ(I)] reflections.

The tropical tree Calophyllum brasiliense (Clusiaceae) grows in the rain forests from Brazil to Mexico. Its leaves, as well as those of other Calophyllum species, are rich sources of chromanone acids, such as apetalic acid, isoapetalic acid, and their derivatives. Apetalic acid has shown significant antimycobacterial activity. The biological activity of apetalic acid has been related to the configuration of three asymmetric centers and the stereochemistry of the molecule; however, the C-19 configuration in the acidic side chain has not been fully resolved. For this reason, the unequivocal determination of the absolute configuration by means of X-ray crystallography in a sample of unique homogeneous apetalic acid stereoisomer was the most important point to start this study. We prepared some chiral amides using the carboxyl group. We determined the C-19 stereochemistry of apetalic acid, and its specific chiral derivatives, using NMR, X-ray diffraction methods, and molecular mechanics. Finally, we observed that steric hindrance in the side chain of apetalic acid leads to restriction of rotation around the pivotal link C-10 and C-19 establishing chiral centers at C2(R), C3(S), and C19(R). We were able to separate derivatives of these two high-rotatory-barrier conformers of apetalic acid by forming diastereoisomeric amides with phenylglycine methyl ester having a chiral center at C-2’. Our results allowed the conclusion of the existence of atropisomerism in the apetalic acid molecule.

Molecular Adducts

A series of molecular adducts of 2-aminopyrimidine and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with heterocyclic carboxylic acids have been prepared and characterized by using X-ray powder diffraction and in four cases by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. These four compounds are the (1 : 1) adducts of 2-aminopyrimidine with indole-3-acetic acid [(C4H5N3)(C10H9NO2)], N-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid [(C4H5N3)(C6H7NO2)] and thiophen-2-carboxylic acid [(C4H5N3)(C5H4O2S)], and the (1 : 1) adduct of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with thiophen-2-carboxylic acid [(C2H4N4)(C5H4O2S)]. Other compounds described are the (1 : 1) adducts of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with indole-3-acetic acid and N-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid.

Indole 3 Acetic Acid

Three molecular cocrystal adducts of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid ( iaa ) have been prepared and their structures determined by X-ray diffraction. They are indole-3-acetic acid-bis [pyridin-2(1H)-one] (1), indole-3-acetic acid-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (2) and indole-3-acetic acid-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (3). Complexes (2) and (3), which may be prepared in a solid-state reaction, are orange and are structurally similar, having significant π-π indole -benzene ring interactions. However, the colourless complex (1) shows no π-π ring interactions. In complex (2), the 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid molecules form hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers (O…O, 2.64 Ǻ), while in (3) the indole-3-acetic acid molecules form dimers (O…O, 2.66 Ǻ). This feature contrasts with the structure of adduct (1) in which the pyridin-2(1H)-one molecules exist as dimers [N…O, 2.79, 2.74 Ǻ] analogous to those found in the parent compound.

Abstract N,N-Dimethyl-C-phenylglycinemethylester reacts with Pd(OAc)2 in acetic acid to give the orthopalladated, acetato bridged complex 1. Treatment of 1 with sodium halide affords the chloro, bromo, and iodo bridged compounds [Me2NC(H)(CO2Me)C6H4PdX]2 (2a -c) (X = halide). From 2a and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene the phosphine bridged trinuclear complex 3 is obtained. Substitution of the amine ligand of 2a by the phosphino group is observed for the reaction of 2a with Ph2PC(Me)C(Me)PPh2. Insertion of 2,6-dimethyl-phenylisocyanide, CO, alkyl-vinyl-ketones, and diphenylacetylene into the Pd-C bond o f 2a -c provides the orthosubstituted organic and organometallic derivatives of phenylglycine 6a -c, 7, 8a -b and 9a -c. The crystal structures of 1, 4a, 6a, 7 and 9a were determined by X-ray diffraction.

The crystal structures of four analogues of the auxin herbicide series, including inactive examples, have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The compounds (2-isopropy1phenoxy)acetic acid (1), (4-fluorophenoxy)acetic acid (2) and (2,4-dichloro-5-fluorophenoxy)acetic acid (3) are from the phenoxyalkanoic acid series while (indol-3-ylthio)acetic acid (4) is the sulfur analogue of the natural plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid. All examples exist as hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O…O, 2.640(7), 2.62(1), 2.637(4) and 2.665(4) � for (1)-(4), respectively]. Compounds (1) and (2) are essentially planar while compounds (3) and (4) have side chains anticlinally related to the ring systems, similar to (2,4-dich1orophenoxy)acetic acid and to indole-3-acetic acid.

The crystal structures of the 1 : 1 adducts of FeCl3 with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) (1) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) (2), as recrystallized from nitromethane, have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by least squares to residuals of 0.038 and 0.032 for 1341 and 3968 'observed' reflections; the result for (2) is a redetermination. Crystals of (1) are orthorhombic, Pbnb, a 15.013(4), b 13.510(5), c 12.471(3) Ǻ, Z 4. Crystals of (2) are triclinic, P1, a 15.823(5), b 11.021(5), c 8.200(3) Ǻ, α 80.27(3), β 76.78(3), γ 89.64(3)°, Z 2. Both complexes haw the stoichiometry (FeCl3)1(bpy,phen)1, but are formulated as cis-[Fe(bpy,phen)2Cl2] [FeCl4]; in both compounds, the Fe-N distance is c. 2.20, (trans to Cl), 2.1, Ǻ(cis to Cl), while Fe-Cl, c. 2.2, Ǻ, is short. The structure determinations of Fe2Cl6(phen,bpy)3 as [Fe(phen)2Cl2]+ [Fe(phen)Cl4]- (3) and [Fe(bpy)2Cl2]+ [Fe(bpy)Cl4]- (4) are also reported. Compound (3) (from acetonitrile solution) is triclinic, P1, a 16.502(5), b 11.857(3), c 10.653(3) Ǻ, α 84.92(2), β 72.66(2), γ 74.80(2)°, Z 2, and was refined to a residual of 0.034 for 5540 'observed' reflections. The cation geometry is similar to that of (2); in the anion, the two Fe-CI bonds trans to each other are long [2.377(1) and 2.365(1) Ǻ] while those trans to the Fe-N bonds are short [2.287(1) and 2.318(1) Ǻ]. Fe-N distances are 2.216(3) and 2.220(3) A. Compound (4) (as its nitromethane solvate) is also triclinic, P1, a 14.480(7), b 12.645(5), c 10.678(4) Ǻ, α 95.68(3), β 109.21(3), γ 9258(3)°, Z 2; a residual of 0.042 was obtained for 4962 'observed' reflections. Cation and anion metal geometries are similar to those of (3).
