C6H604, Mr = 142, triclinic, P[, a = 4.842(1), b = 7.607(1), c = 9.168 (3) A, ~ = 98.41(2), fl = 99.89(2), y = 77.74(1) ° , V = 320.9/k 3, Z = 2, Dm= 1.45 (flotation), D x = 1.470 g cm -3, p(Mo Ktt, 2 = 0.7107 A) = 0.63 cm -~, F(000) = 148. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to an R value of 0.038 for 723 intensity measurements. The geometrical changes in the cyclopropane ring are discussed in the light of substituent effects. In the crystal structure the carboxylic groups are disordered.

Image -Hydroxymandelate, the product of the enzyme reaction was identified by paper chromatography, thin layer chromatography, UV and IR-spectra.

Temperature dependence of chlorine NQR in 2-chloro 5-nitrobenzoic acid and 4-chloro 3-nitrobenzoic acid

Temperature dependence of chlorine nuclear quadrupole resonance in 2-chloro 5-nitrobenzoic acid and 4-chloro 3-nitrobenzoic acid has been investigated in the region 77° K to room temperature. No phase transition has been observed. The results are analysed to obtain the torsional frequencies and their temperature dependence. A nonlinear temperature dependence is obtained for the torsional frequencies.

Novel organic porous solids with channel and layered structures from 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triaminehexaacetic acid and its calcium salt

Single crystals of a symmetrically substituted molecule, 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triaminehexaacetic acid, (TTHA) and its Ca2+ salt have been synthesized, the analysis of which reveals the existence of novel channel type cavities and helical packing organizations in the crystals.

Selective para metalation of unprotected 3-methoxy and 3,5-dimethoxy benzoic acids with n-butyl lithium-potassium tert-butoxide (LIC-KOR): synthesis of 3,5-dimethoxy-4-methyl benzoic acid

The potassium salt of 3-methoxy and 3,5-dimethoxy benzoic acids undergoes deprotonation at the position para to the carboxylate group selectively when treated with LIC-KOR in THF at -78 degrees C and it has been extended to the synthesis of 3,5-dimethoxy-4-methyl benzoic acid.

Molecular Complexes of Alprazolam with Carboxylic Acids, Boric Acid, Boronic Acids, and Phenols. Evaluation of Supramolecular Heterosynthons Mediated by a Triazole Ring

A series of molecular complexes, both co-crystals and salts, of a triazole drug-alprazolam-with carboxylic acids, boric acid, boronic acids, and phenols have been analyzed with respect to heterosynthons present in the crystal structures. In all cases, the triazole ring behaves as an efficient hydrogen bond acceptor with the acidic coformers. The hydrogen bond patterns exhibited with aromatic carboxylic acids were found to depend on the nature and position of the substituents. Being a strong acid, 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid forms a salt with alprazolam. With aliphatic dicarboxylic acids alprazolam forms hydrates and the water molecules play a central role in synthon formation and crystal packing. The triazole ring makes two distinct heterosynthons in the molecular complex with boric acid. Boronic acids and phenols form consistent hydrogen bond patterns, and these are seemingly independent of the substitutional effects. Boronic acids form noncentrosymmetric cyclic synthons, while phenols form O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds with the triazole ring.

Enantiospecific synthesis of tricyclo5.2.1.0(4,8)]decanes via acid catalysed rearrangement of isotwistanes

An acid catalysed rearrangement was employed for the enantiospecific conversion of isotwistanol to tricyclo5.2.1.0(4.8)]-decanes, which provided support for the proposed biosynthesis of allopupukeananes from pupukeananes. The strategy has been further extended to the enantiospecific synthesis of a homobrexane. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Isolation and characterization of a novel multibridged tetradentate dianionic form of pyridoxic acid. Crystal structure of tetranuclear [Cu4(PAA)2(Bipyam)4(H2O)2Cl2](NO3)2·CH3OH·10H2O

The X-ray analysis of the tetranuclear copper(II) complex formed from pyridoxic acid and 2,2′-dipyridylamine reveals a novel metal binding mode of pyridoxic acid as a multibridged tetradentate dianion. Here the pyridoxic acid moiety uses all possible sites except the pyridine nitrogen for metal coordination.

A β,β,β-trialkoxyethyllithium stable towards fragmentation: a carboxyl protected acetic acid dianion equivalent

The novel alkyllithium 1b is not only intriguingly stable towards fragmentation, but also a synthetically useful reagent, complementing current carboxylic ester enolate methodology. Its design is based on interesting mechanistic principles, and harnesses the known stability of the 2,4,10-trioxaadamantane framework.

Lanthanide Luminescent Coordination Polymer Constructed from Unsymmetrical Dinuclear Building Blocks Based on 4-((1H-Benzod]imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzoic Acid

Lanthanide coordination polymers of the general formula Ln(2)(L)(5)(NO3)(H2O)(4)](n) (Ln = Eu (1), Tb (2), Gd (3)) supported by a novel aromatic carboxylate ligand 4-((1H-benzod]imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzoic acid (HL) have been synthesized, characterized, and their photoluminescence behavior is examined. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns of complexes 1-3 showed that 1-3 are isostructural; thus, 1 has been chosen as an example to discuss in detail about the molecular structure by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a one-dimensional (1D) helical chain-like coordination polymer consisting of unique unsymmetrical dinuclear lanthanide building blocks. The 1D chains are further linked by the significant intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a two-dimensional supramolecular network. The Tb3+ complex exhibits bright green luminescence efficiency in the solid state with a quantum yield of 15%. On the other hand, poor luminescence efficiency has been noted for Eu3+-benzoate complex.
