In the title compound, C33H28N2O2·0.25C2H6O·0.6H2O, the piperidone ring adopts a chair conformation and the pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 70.83 (16)°. One of the N atoms of the organic mol­ecule is disordered over two positions in a 0.52 (4):0.48 (4) ratio and the two solvent mol­ecules are partially occupied and show high displacement parameters. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by inter­molecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network

A QSPR Study of Sweetness Potency Using the CODESSA Program

A total of 397 natural and artificial comprehensively referenced sweeteners were classified by their structures into nine sets. The sweetness potencies were correlated with quantum Chemical and other molecular descriptors using the heuristic and the best multi-linear regression methods of the CODESSA software package. QSPR models (two-parameter unless otherwise indicated) emerged for each subclass of sweeteners with R2 values of 0.835 for 47 aldoximes, 0.959 for 8 acesulfamates, 0.919 for 9 sulfamates, 0.941 for 10 α-arylsulfonylalkanoic acids, 0.715 for 27 guanidines (0.802 in a three-parameter correlation), 0.769 for 30 ureas/thioureas (0.888 in a three-parameter correlation), 0.905 for 20 natural sweeteners, 0.957 for 7 miscellaneous sweeteners (one-parameter correlation), 0.688 for 87 peptides (five-parameter correlation). A significant global five-parameter QSPR theoretical model with R2 of 0.686 for the entire set of sweeteners is presented and discussed with reference to the possible existence of single or multiple sweetness receptors

16-[(E)-4-Bromo­benzyl­idene]-13-(4-bromo­phen­yl)-2-hy­droxy-11-methyl-1,11-diaza­penta­cyclo­[12.3.1.02,10.03,8.010,14]octa­deca-3(8),4,6-triene-9,15-dione

In the title pyrrolidine compound, C30H24Br2N2O3, the two fused pyrrolidine rings adopt envelope and twisted conformations, whereas the piperidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. The essentially planar 2,3-dihydro­indanone unit [maximum deviation = −0.0163 (19) Å] is inclined at inter­planar angles of 14.29 (9) and 61.07 (9)° to the two benzene rings. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are linked into dimers by inter­molecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Short inter­molecular Br⋯Br inter­actions [3.5140 (6) Å] further inter­connect these dimers into double dimeric columns along the b axis

Synthesis and crystal structures of 5'-phenylspiro[indoline-3, 2'-pyrrolidin]-2-one derivatives

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The spiro- indole-pyrrolidine ring system is a frequently encountered structural motif in many biologically important and pharmacologically relevant alkaloids. The derivatives of spirooxindole ring systems are used as antimicrobial, antitumour agents and as inhibitors of the human NKI receptor besides being found in a number of alkaloids like horsifiline, spirotryprostatin and (+) elacomine. The recently discovered small-molecule MDM2 inhibitor MI-219 and its analogues are in advanced preclinical development as cancer therapeutics.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>In the crystal structures of the two organic compounds, 4'-Nitro-3',5'-diphenylspiro[indoline-3,2'-pyrrolidin]-2-one and 3'-(4-Methoxyphenyl)- 4'-nitro -5'-phenylspiro[indoline-3,2'-pyrrolidin]-2-one, N-H···O hydrogen bonds make the R²₂(8) ring motif. Further, the structures are stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The crystal structures of 4'-Nitro-3',5'-diphenylspiro[indoline-3,2'-pyrrolidin]-2-one and 3'-(4-Methoxyphenyl)- 4'-nitro -5'-phenylspiro[indoline-3,2'-pyrrolidin]-2-one have been investigated in detail. In both the compounds, the R²₂(8) motif is present. Due to the substitution of methoxyphenyl instead of phenyl ring, the entire configuration is inverted with respect to the 2-oxyindole ring.</p

A catalyst-free multicomponent domino sequence for the diastereoselective synthesis of (E)-3-[2-arylcarbonyl-3-(arylamino)allyl]chromen-4-ones

The three-component domino reactions of (E)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-arylprop-2-en-1-ones, 3-formylchromone and anilines under catalyst-free conditions afforded a library of novel (E)-3-(2-arylcarbonyl-3-(arylamino)allyl)-4H-chromen-4-ones in good to excellent yields and in a diastereoselective transformation. This transformation generates one C–C and one C–N bond and presumably proceeds via a reaction sequence comprising a Michael-type addition–elimination reaction, a nucleophilic attack of an enamine to a carbonyl reminiscent of one of the steps of the Bayllis–Hilman condensation, and a final deoxygenation. The deoxygenation is assumed to be induced by carbon monoxide resulting from the thermal decomposition of the dimethylformamide solvent

An efficient synthesis of N-substituted 3-nitrothiophen-2-amines

A novel protocol for the synthesis of 3-nitro-N-aryl/alkylthiophen-2-amines in good yields from the reaction of α-nitroketene N,S-aryl/alkylaminoacetals and 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol in the presence of K2CO3 in refluxing ethanol is described. This transformation generates two C–C bonds in a single operation and presumably proceeds through a reaction sequence comprising 2-mercaptoacetaldehyde generation, nucleophilic carbonyl addition, annelation and elimination steps

Crystal structure of 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridine-3-carbonitrile

In the title compound, C27H19N3O, the dihedral angles between the plane of the pyridine ring and those of the indole (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å), phenyl and methoxybenzene substituents are 33.60 (6), 25.28 (7) and 49.31 (7)°, respectively. The N atom of the carbonitrile group is significantly displaced [0.288 (2) Å] from the plane of the pyridine ring, perhaps due to steric crowding. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H...Nn (n = nitrile) hydrogen bonds generate R22(16) loops. Aromatic π–π stacking [centroid–centroid separation = 3.6906 (7) Å] and very weak C—H...π interactions are also observed"

Crystal structure of 2-(2-bromophenyl)-4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-6-(thiophen-2-yl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile

In the title compound, C24H14BrN3S, the dihedral angles between the planes of the pyridine ring and the pendant thiophene ring, the indole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.022 Å) and the bromobenzene ring are 9.37 (17), 21.90 (12) and 69.01 (15)°, respectively. The approximate coplanarity of the central ring and the indole ring system is supported by two intramolecular C—H...N interactions. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H...N hydrogen bonds generate R22(16) loops and the dimers are linked by C—H...π and aromatic π–π stacking [shortest centroid–centroid separation = 3.729 (3) Å] into a three-dimensional network
