Reaction of D-arabinose diethyl dithioacetal with one equivalent of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid at −40 °C gave a mixture of the two epimers of 5-O-methoxyphenylmethyl-D-arabinose diethyl dithioacetal initially. After 14 h at −20 °C, the major products were R- and S-4,5-O-benzylidene-D-arabinose diethyl dithioacetal. The structure of the S isomer was determined by X-ray crystallography. The crystal was orthorhombic, with space group P212121, cell dimensions a = 5.179(4), b = 12.469(3), c = 27.150(4) Å, and Z = 4. The crystal structure was solved using the SHELX (76) system and refined to R = 0.060 for 714 reflections. The sugar chain was in a zigzag conformation, the 4,5-O-benzylidene ring in a 0−5Tc conformation, and the plane of the phenyl ring was nearly perpendicular to the plane of the five-membered ring (88° angle). There were two short OH—S hydrogen bonds, one intramolecular and one intermolecular. Reaction of the diethyl dithioacetals of D-glucose, D-galactose, D-mannose, and D-ribose at −20 °C as above also gave mixtures of the terminal five-membered ring O-benzylidene diastereomers.

The ultraviolet and 1H n.m.r. spectra of some 1-polymethyleneimino-2,4-dinitrobenzenes and related compounds are discussed. The effect of trifluoroacetic acid on these spectra was also investigated; with 1-azetidinyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene, acid-catalysed ring opening was observed. The solid-state conformation of 1-(cis-2′,6′-dimethylpiperidin-1′-yl)-2,4-dinitrobenzene has been defined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Triclinic crystals belong to the space group P–1 with a 8.165(1), b 7.865(1), c 11.148(1) Å, α 95.23(1), β 106.00(1), γ 92.63(1)˚ and Z 2. The structure was refined to a final R of 0.048 for the 2222 observed data. In the crystal, the phenyl ring adopts a slight boat conformation, while the amino and o-nitro groups are significantly twisted from the mean plane of the ring.

A series of E and Z isomers of substituted 4-(1-ethoxyethylidene)-5-oxazolones and thiazolones have been prepared and their 1H and 13C spectra recorded. The vinylic methyl 1H chemical shifts showed minimal differences between E and Z isomers whereas the vinylic OCH21H signals differed by 0.15–0.43 ppm, with the Z isomer being consistently the more deshielded. Both vinylic methyl and OCH2 groups showed different 13C resonances for each isomer, with the Z isomers being the more deshielded. The Z geometry was conclusively defined for one isomer of 4-(1-ethoxyethylidene)-2-phenyl-5-oxazolone, 5, by X-ray crystallography and this was sufficient to assign the geometry of the remaining pairs of E and Z isomers. Oxazolone 5 has the space group P21/n and cell dimensions a = 9.219(3), b = 19.899(5), c = 7.459(1) Å, β = 118.01(2)°, and has four formula units in the unit cell. Intensities were measured with use of MoKα radiation and a Nicolet P3 diffractometer. The crystal structure was determined by standard methods and refined to R1 = 0.0709, R2 = 0.0696 based on 1419 independent reflections. The molecule is essentially planar and most bond lengths and angles are normal. Exceptions are the very short C(olefin)—O(ether) bond (1.339(4) Å) and the large ether C—O—C angle (122.1(3)°) caused by extreme delocalization in the O(ether)CCCO(carbonyl) system. The planarity causes a number of strong intramolecular repulsive interactions, causing an exceptionally small external olefin angle, O(ether)CC(methyl), of 108.1(4)°. The ethoxyl side chain of 5 adopts a conformation in the solid state which places the methylene of the OCH2 group adjacent to the oxazole ring nitrogen. This conformation is proposed to persist in solution phases and is consistent with the observed 13C chemical shifts and known γ and δ substituent effects.

Two bidentate Schiff base ligands having nitrogen sulphur donor sequence were derived from the condensation of S-benzyldithiocarbazate (SBDTC) with 2-chloroacetophenone and 4-chloroacetophenone to give S-benzyl-β-N-(2-chlorophenyl)methylenedithiocarbazate (NS2) and S-benzyl-β-N-(4-chlorophenyl)methylenedithiocarbazate (NS4) isomers. Each of the ligands was then chelated with Cd2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+. The compounds were characterized via IR spectroscopy and melting point while the structure of NS4 was revealed via X-ray crystallography. Finally, the compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity to investigate the effect that is brought by the introduction of the chlorine atom to the benzene ring. X-ray crystallographic analysis showed that the structure of NS4 is planar with a phenyl ring that is nearly perpendicular to the rest of the molecules. The qualitative antimicrobial assay results showed that NS4 and its complexes lacked antifungal activity while Gram-positive bacteria were generally inhibited more strongly than Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, NS4 metal complexes were inhibited more strongly than the ligand while the opposite was seen with NS2 ligand and its complexes due to the partial solubility in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). It was concluded that generally NS2 derivatives have higher bioactivity than that of NS4 derivatives and that the Cd complexes of both ligands have pronounced activity specifically onK. rhizophila.

The crystal structure of (4R)-(−)-1-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyl)-3-n-butyryl-4-tert-butyl-2-imidazolidinone(3)was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound3crystallizes in triclinic system in space groupP1 (≠1). The crystal data area=10.62165 Å,b=16.5321 Å,c=8.95729 Å,∝=91.1936∘,β=93.8496∘,γ=88.0974∘,V=1568.22 Å3,Z=3,Dcalc=1.253 g/cm3,μCuKα=15.98 cm−1,F000=636.00,T=20.0°C, andR=0.037. The crystal structure confirmed the occurrence of three molecules of3A,3B, and3Cin which then-butyryl moiety adopted thes-transoidconformation. Crystal structure also revealed that the conformation of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyl groups was inanti-position relative totert-butyl group. The crystal packing showed that three molecules of compound3are stacked as a result of intermolecularπ-πinteractions between the phenyl ring of one molecule and the phenyl ring of the other molecule by approaching each other to an interplanar separation of 5.034 Å. Interestingly, these stacked molecules are also connected by intermolecularCH-πinteraction. The conformational analysis of thes-transoid  3A,3B, and3Cwas separately performed by molecular mechanic MM+ force field. Additionally, computational investigation using semiempirical AM1 and PM3 methods was performed to find a correlation between experimental and calculated geometrical parameters. The data obtained suggest that the structural data furnished by the AM1 method is in better agreement with those experimentally determined for the above compound. It has been found that the lowest energetic conformer computed gives approximate correspondence with experimental solid state data.

The complex crystallizes in the space group P 1̄ with unit cell dimensions a = 837.4(4), b = 873.0(5), c = 1102.5(6) pm, ɑ = 112.53(4), β = 98.54(4), γ = 100.59(4)°, and Z = 1. The structure demonstrates that the bis(diphenylphosphinimino)-ethane group is bridging two ReO3 units.

Abstract The structure of the title compound has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The title compound is synthesized from the elements at 600 °C. Its crystal structure, derived from powder data [3] is refined by single crystal diffractometer data. The structure is trigonal (P3̅ml, α = 684.1(1), c = 724.4(1) pm); Pd2+ cations and PS43- anions form a network with an anti-Claudetite (AS2O3) type structure. The PS4 units are distinctly distorted from ideal tetrahedral symmetry. The Pd atoms have a planar environment of 4 S atoms.

The products of a Pictet–Spengler condensation of tryptamine and of histamine with 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose have been studied by X-ray crystallography to establish their absolute configuration. 1(S)-(α-D-Arabinofuranosyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (1), C16H20N20O4, is monoclinic, P21 (No. 4), with cell dimensions a = 13.091(4), b = 5.365(1), c = 11.323(3) Å, β = 115.78(2)°, and Z = 2. 4-(α-D-Arabinofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-c]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyridine (3), C11H17N3O4, is orthorhombic, P212121 (No. 19), with cell dimensions a = 8.118(2), b = 13.715(4), c = 10.963(3) Å, and Z = 4. The structures were determined by direct methods and refined to R1 = 0.0514, R2 = 0.0642 for 3210 reflections in the case of 1, and to R1 = 0.0312, R2 = 0.0335 for 1569 reflections in the case of 3. Bond lengths and angles within both molecules are normal and agree well with those observed in related structures. In 3 the base and sugar adopt a syn arrangement, which is maintained by an internal hydrogen bond between O(2′) and N(3). The sugar adopts a normal 2T3 twist conformation. The sugar has the opposite anti arrangement in the β-carboline 1 and the conformation of the sugar is unusual; it is close to an envelope conformation with O(4′) being the atom out of the plane. This conformation is caused by a strong intermolecular hydrogen bond from O(5′) in a symmetry-related molecule to O(4′). Both compounds are held together in the crystal by extensive hydrogen-bonding networks. The conformations of the compounds in solution have been investigated by 1H nmr spectroscopy, and the results obtained were compared with those obtained by X-ray crystallography for 1 and 3.

In this paper, (2E,6E)-2,6-Bis(2,3,4-tri-methoxy -benzylidene)cyclohexanone (omitted as tmbcho) (1) was obtained by the reaction of acetic acid, tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone and 2,3,4-tri-methoxy-benzaldehyde. Three non-classic hydrogen bonds were observed in the compound. X-ray crystallography shows that the crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C-H•••π interactions and it contains plenty of conjugated double bonds. The title compound was characterized by UV-vis and fluorescent spectral studies.
