The structure of the title compound, C27H46N2, at 93 K has monoclinic (P21/n) symmetry. The title compound was prepared by treatment of 2-(2,6-diisopropylbenzene)-3,3-dimethyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]dec-1-en-2-ium hydrogen dichloride with two equivalents of lithium diethylamide. Characterization of the title compound by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy is presented. Formation of the diethylamine adduct of the cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) was unexpected, as deprotonation using lithium diisopropylamide results in free CAAC formation.

The absolute configuration,i.e.(3aR,3′aR,7aS,7′aS), of the title compound, C18H26O4, synthesizedviaa palladium-catalyzed homocoupling reaction, was determined on the basis of the synthetic pathway and was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The homocoupled molecule is formed by two chemically identical moieties built up from two five- and six-membered fused rings. The supramolecular assembly is controlled mainly by C—H...O interactions that lead to the formation of hydrogen-bonded chains of molecules along the [001] direction, while weak dipolar interactions and van der Waals forces hold the chains together in the crystal structure.

The absolute configuration of the title compound, C10H16O4, determined as 3aS,4S,5R,7aRon the basis of the synthetic pathway, was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The molecule contains a five- and a six-membered ring that adopt twisted and envelope conformations, respectively. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the rings is 76.80 (11)° as a result of theircis-fusion. In the crystal, molecules are linked by two pairs of O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. These chains are further connected by weaker C—H...O interactions along [100], creating (001) sheets that interact only by weak van der Waals forces.

The title compound, C17H18ClNO2, was prepared and isolated as a pure diastereoisomer, using column chromatography followed by a succession of fractional crystallizations. Its exact structure was fully identified via 1H NMR and confirmed by X-ray diffraction. It is built up from a central five-membered dihydroisoxazole ring to which a p-chlorophenyl group and a cyclohex-2-enone ring are attached in the 3 and 5 positions. The cyclohex-2-one and isoxazoline rings each exhibit an envelope conformation. The crystal packing features C—H...O, C—H...N and C—H...π interactions, which generate a three-dimensional network.

The title compound, C20H21NO2, an example of a stable 1,2-naphthoquinone, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at 100 K. This structure illustrates steric buttressing of the adamantanyl group, forcing the N—H group into the coplanar aromatic C—H. The presence of strong delocalization between the planar N atom at the 4-position and the carbonyl group at the 2-position is indicated. In the crystal, C—H...O and C—H...π interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
