Structure and Conformation of Novel BODIPY Ugi Adducts.

Two novel BODIPY-Ugi (boron dipyrromethene) adducts exhibit peculiar room temperature (T=20 °C) H-1 NMR spectra in that several protons located at the aromatic aniline-type ring are lost in the baseline. This observation revealed the existence of a dynamic conformational process where rotation around the C-N bond is hindered. Variable-temperature H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopic analysis confirmed this conclusion; that is, low-temperature spectra show distinct signals for all four aromatic protons below coalescence, whereas average signals are recorded above coalescence (T=+120 °C).

Biomimetic Non-Heme Iron-Catalyzed Epoxidation of Challenging Terminal Alkenes Using Aqueous HO as an Environmentally Friendly Oxidant.

Catalysis mediated by iron complexes is emerging as an eco-friendly and inexpensive option in comparison to traditional metal catalysis. The epoxidation of alkenes constitutes an attractive application of iron(III) catalysis, in which terminal olefins are challenging substrates. Herein, we describe our study on the design of biomimetic non-heme ligands for the in situ generation of iron(III) complexes and their evaluation as potential catalysts in epoxidation of terminal olefins.

Analysis of N-H···O hydrogen bonds in new C(O)-NH-P(O)-based phosphoric triamides and analogous structures deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database.

Five new compounds belonging to the phosphoric triamide family have been synthesized: two of them with the formula XC(O)NHP(O)Y [X = CF3 (1) and CClF2 (2), Y = NHCH2C(CH3)2CH2NH] involving a 1,3-diazaphosphorinane ring part, and three 2,6-Cl2C6H3C(O)NHP(O)Z2 phosphoric triamides [Z = NHC(CH3)3 (3), N(CH3)(C6H11) (4) and N(CH3)(CH2C6H5) (5)]. The characterization was performed by (31)P{(1)H}, (1)H, (13)C NMR, IR spectroscopy besides (19)F NMR for fluorine containing compounds (1) and (2), and X-ray single-crystal structure analysis for (1), (3), (4) and (5). In each molecule the P atom has a distorted tetrahedral environment.

Hirshfeld surface analysis of new phosphoramidates.

Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots are used to visualize and analyze intermolecular interactions in six new phosphoramidate structures, [2,6-F2-C6H3C(O)NH]P(O)[X]2 {X = N(C2H5)2 (1), [X]2 = NHCH2C(CH3)2CH2NH and with one CH3OH solvated molecule (2)}, [C6H5O]2P(O)Y [Y = NC4H8O (3), NHC6H4(3-Br) (4)] and [Z]2P(O)OP(O)[Z]2 [Z = N(CH3)(CH2C6H5) (5), NHC6H4(4-CH3) (6)]. Study of the short intermolecular contacts in structures (1)-(6) by Hirshfeld surfaces demonstrate that the O atom of P=O is a better H-atom acceptor than the O atom of C=O for (1) and (2), and also relative to the O atom of the C6H5O group for (3) and (4), and relative to the bridge O atom of the P(O)OP(O) segment for (5) and (6). The results confirm that the crystal packing is related to the kind of substituent linked to the P atom.

9-Amino-acridinium nitrate monohydrate.

The pyridine N atom of the cation in the title hydrated salt, C(13)H(11)N(2) (+)·NO(3) (-)·H(2)O, is protonated; the N atom of the NH(2) group shows a planar conformation. The former N atom is hydrogen bonded to a water mol-ecule. The amino group is involved in three N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with two neighboring nitrate anions.
