The relative configurations of two intermediates in the synthetic route to cryptosporiopsin are clarified through the structure of 3,5-dichloro-1,4-dihydroxy-2-methylcyclopent-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester, which was determined by single crystal X-ray techniques. The crystal was monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 7.352(1), b = 8.868 (3), c = 16.300(7) Å; β = 96.49(2)°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to a final R of 0.057.

The chiral diphosphine 1 reacts with [(diolefin)Rh(THF)2]PF6 (diolefine: 1.5-cyclooctadiene, norbornadiene) to form the complexes 4 and 5. The structure of 4 was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21. The lattice constants (at 180 K) are: a = 974.0(6); b = 3889.2(29); c = 1309.4(5) pm; β = 105.25(4)°. The hydrogenation of methyl-α-acetamidocinnamate in the presence of 5 yields (R)-N-acetylphenylalanine methyl ester with 33% enantiomeric excess.

A new organic charge-transfer complex, C18H7N5O8·C6H4S4, has been prepared using TTF (tetrathiafulvalene) as a donor (D) and MeDC2TNF (9-dicyanomethylene-4,5,7-trinitro-fluorene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester) as an acceptor (A). Two monoclinic polymorphs of the 1:1 salt were crystallized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Form α crystallizes in space group P21/n with Z′ = 1, while form β crystallizes in space group C2/c with Z′ = 1\over 2 and the MeDC2TNF moiety disordered across a twofold axis. Both phases have mixed-stack crystal packings, which are characteristic of semiconducting one-dimensional organic complexes. However, the observed crystal packings are significantly different, with a single D...A interlayer separation of 3.452 Å for the disordered β polymorph and interlayer separations of 3.378 and 3.483 Å in the case of the ordered α form. These variations are reflected in the degree of charge transfer, δ, which was estimated on the basis of the b 2u stretching-mode frequency shift observed in the IR spectra for the cyano groups of the MeDC2TNF radical anion. The fact that the charge transfer is more efficient for α-(TTF-MeDC2TNF) than for β-(TTF-MeDC2TNF) (δ = 0.35 and 0.31, respectively) is consistent with the structural features observed for each crystalline form.

The β-keto aldehyde , 1-methyl-2-oxocyclododecanecarbaldehyde (4), was converted into a mixture of two cyclopropane-1,2-diyl diacetates , 12- methyl- cis-bicyclo [10.1.0]tridecane-cis-1,13-diyl diacetate (6) and 12- methyl-trans- bicyclo [10.1.0]tridecane-trans-1,13-diyl diacetate (8). The structure of (6) was established by means of a single-crystal X-ray study. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with four molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a 12.326(1), b 14.998(2), c 10.388(3) Ǻ, β 108.33(1)°. The structure was solved by direct methods, and refined to an R factor of 0.059. Protonolysis of the corresponding diols leads to compounds not normally encountered in such systems but the genesis of the major products can be rationalized.

The crystal structure of 9-oxofluorene-4-carboxylic acid has been determined by direct methods using three-dimensional X-ray diffraction data, and refined to R0·068 for 1323 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c with 24 in a cell of dimensions a 3·843(3), b 7·986(5), c 3269(2) �, β 96·64(4)�. The molecules form centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O···O 2·642(3) �] with the plane of the carboxylic acid making an angle of 26·5� with that of the 9-oxofluorene group. Stacks of molecules form down the a axis with 3.843 �. separation.

The X-ray crystal structure of 3α,4α:5β,6β-diepoxyandrostan-17-one has been determined. Crystals of the title compound (C19H26O3)are monoclinic, space group P21, with a 9.208(2), b 9.620(4), c 9.312(3) �, β 99.14(2)�, V 814.5 Ǻ3 and Z 2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R 0.039 for 887 observed reflexions. The 3α,4α:5β,6β configuration of the epoxide rings confirms the assignment based on proton n.m.r. studies.

Abstract X-ray structural analyses of two α,γ-diketo esters and one α,γ-diketo acid, which are amino acid antagonists, have shown them all to be present in the solid state in the α,β-unsaturated γ-keto enolic form. The structures of the esters β-acetyl-pyruvic acid methyl ester (1) and 2-oxo-cyclopentyl-glyoxylic acid ethyl ester (3) are stabilized by intra-molecular O···H(-O) hydrogen bonds involving the enol proton. In the case of camphor oxalic acid (4) an intramolecular O···H-O hydrogen bond between the γ-keto oxygen and the acid proton is observed. The bond lengths and angles in 1 indicate a significant contribution from the mesomeric β,γ-unsaturated enol form. For comparison purposes the structure of the γ-enol methyl ether of 1, (4-methoxy-2-oxo-pentene)carboxylic acid methyl ester (2) has also been determined. The X-ray structures of the cyclization products of respectively an α,γ-diketo acid and an α,γ-diketo ester are reported.
