Dimethyl 11,13-dimethyl-16-[1,2-bis­(methoxy­carbon­yl)ethen­yl]-12-oxo-16,17-dioxa-18-aza­hexa­cyclo­[7.5.1.11,4.16,9.110,14.05,15]octa­deca-2,7-diene-2,3-dicarboxyl­ate

The title compound, C27H29NO11, is a product of the tandem ‘domino’ Diels–Alder reaction. The mol­ecule comprises a fused hexa­cyclic system containing four five-membered rings (two dihydro­furan and two tetra­hydro­furan) in the usual envelope conformations and two six-membered rings (tetra­hydro­pyridinone and piperidine) adopting slightly flattened boat and chair conformations, respectively. The dispositions of the carboxyl­ate substituents relative to each other are determined by both steric reasons and inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding and attractive anti­parallel C=O⋯C=O inter­actions [C⋯O = 2.995 (2) Å]

2,25-Dioxo-27,28-diphenyl-30-oxa-29-thia-3,10,17,24-tetra­aza­penta­cyclo­[24.2.1.112,15.04,9.018,23]triaconta-5,7,9(4),10,12,14,16,18,20,22,26,28-dodeca­ene chloro­form disolvate

The macrocycle of the title compound, C36H24N4O3S·2CHCl3, contains a rigid framework with the nitro­gen and oxygen heteroatoms pointing in towards the center of the macrocyclic cavity. The macrocycle is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å) except for the thio­phene ring. The dihedral angle between the thio­phene ring plane and the mean plane of the central macrocyclic core including all atoms except sulfur is 21.6 (1)°. Four intra­molecular hydrogen bonds occur: two are between the amide hydrogen atoms and the Schiff base nitro­gen atoms, while the others are between the amide hydrogen atoms and the sulfur atom of the thio­phene. The two solvate chloro­form mol­ecules are bound to the carbonyl oxygen atoms of the ligand by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. In addition, the structure reveals inter­molecular Cl⋯Cl close contacts [3.308 (2), 3.404 (2) and 3.280 (2) Å] between the chloro­form solvate mol­ecules. In the crystal, the macrocycles form layers parallel to (101), with an inter­layer distance of 3.362 (3) Å. This short distance is determined by the stacking inter­actions between the amide carbonyl and imine fragments of neighboring ligands

1-Methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole-2-selone

The title compound C8H8N2Se, is the product of the reaction of 2-chloro-1-methyl­benzimidazole with sodium hydro­selenide. The mol­ecule is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.041 Å) owing to the presence of the long chain of conjugated bonds (Se=C—NMe—C=C—C=C—C=C—NH). The C=Se bond length [1.838 (2) Å] corresponds well to those found in the close analogs and indicates its pronounced double-bond character. In the crystal, mol­ecules form helicoidal chains along the b axis by means of N—H⋯Se hydrogen bonds

Dimethyl 2-[22,24-dimethyl-23-oxo-8,11,14-trioxa-25-aza­tetra­cyclo­[19.3.1.02,7.015,20]penta­cosa-2,4,6,15(20),16,18-hexaen-25-yl]but-2-enedioate

The title compound, C29H33NO8, is a product of the Michael addition of the cyclic secondary amine subunit of the aza-14-crown-4 ether to dimethyl acetyl­enedicarboxyl­ate. The piperidinone ring exhibits a distorted chair conformation, and the dimethyl ethylenedicarboxylate fragment has a cis configuration with a dihedral angle of 78.96 (5)° between the two carboxyl­ate groups. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds

(2E,25E)-11,14,17,33,36,39,42-Hepta­oxa­penta­cyclo­[41.4.0.05,10.018,23.027,32]hepta­tetra­conta-1(43),2,5(10),6,8,18,20,22,25,27,29,31,44,46-tetra­decaene-4,24-dione

The title compound, C40H40O9, is a product of the double crotonic condensation of bis­(2-acetyl­phen­oxy)-3-oxapentane with bis­(2-formyl­phen­oxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane. The title macromolecule includes the 31-crown-7-ether skeletal unit and adopts a saddle-like conformation. The two ethyl­ene fragments have E configurations. The volume of the inter­nal cavity of the macrocycle is approximately 125 Å3. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are arranged at van der Waals distances

Methyl 4,5-diacet­oxy-1-oxo-2-phenyl­perhydro-4,6-epoxy­cyclo­penta­[c]pyridine-7-carboxyl­ate ethanol solvate

The title compound, the product of an acid-catalysed Wagner–Meerwein skeletal rearrangement, crystallizes as an ethanol monosolvate, C20H21NO8·C2H6O. The title mol­ecule comprises a fused tricyclic system containing two five-membered rings (cyclo­pentane and tetra­hydro­furan) in the usual envelope conformations and one six-membered ring (piperidinone) adopting a flattened twist–boat conformation

N,N′-Bis(2-amino­phen­yl)-3,4-diphenyl­thio­phene-2,5-dicarboxamide acetonitrile solvate

In the title solvate, C30H24N4O2S·CH3CN, the substituted thiophene possesses approximate Cs(m) intrinsic symmetry, with the mirror plane passing through the S atom and the mid-point of the (Ph)C—C(Ph) bond. Despite the main backbone of the mol­ecule being a long chain of conjugated bonds, it adopts a non-planar conformation due to the presence of various intra- and inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds result in twist configurations for both the amido and amino­phenyl fragments relative to the central thio­phene ring. There are two intra­molecular Namine—H⋯O hydrogen bonds within the thio­phene-2,5-dicarboxamide mol­ecule that form seven-membered rings. In the crystal, the thio­phene-2,5-dicarboxamide mol­ecules form inversion dimers by four amide–amine N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The dimers are further linked into layers propagating in (100) both directly (via Namine—H⋯O hydrogen bonds) and through the acetonitrile solvate mol­ecules (via amine–cyano N—H⋯N and CMe—H⋯O inter­actions)

The title compound, C17H18N2O4, is the methyl ester of the adduct of intra­molecular Diels–Alder reaction between maleic anhydride and 1-(2-fur­yl)-2,3,4,5-tetra­hydro-1H-pyrrolo­[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine. The mol­ecule comprises a fused penta­cyclic system containing four five-membered rings (viz. pyrrole, 2-pyrrolidinone, tetra­hydro­furan and dihydro­furan) and one seven-membered ring (1,4-diazepane). The pyrrole ring is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å) while the 2-pyrrolidinone, tetra­hydro­furan and dihydro­furan five-membered rings have the usual envelope conformations. The central seven-membered diazepane ring adopts a boat conformation. In the crystal, mol­ecules are bound by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions into zigzag chains propagating in [010]. In the crystal packing, the chains are stacked along the a axis
