2-[(3,3-Dimethylindolin-2-ylidene)methyl]-4-[(3,3-dimethyl-3H-indol-1-ium-2-yl)methylidene]-3-oxocyclobut-1-en-1-olate chloroform disolvate

In the title squaraine dye solvate, C26H24N2O2·2CHCl3, the dye molecule is essentially planar, except for the methyl groups, having a maximum deviation over the 26-membered delocalized bond system of 0.060 (2) Å. It possesses crystallographic twofold rotational symmetry with the indole ring systems adopting a syn conformation. The molecular structure features intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bonds enclosing conjoint S7 ring motifs about one of the dioxocyclobutene O atoms, while the two chloroform solvent molecules are linked to the second O atom through C-HO hydrogen bonds.

(2E)-3-(4-Bromophenyl)-1-(2-methyl-4phenyl-3-quinolyl)prop-2-en-1-one

The conformation about the ethene bond [1.316 (3) angstrom] in the title compound, C25H18BrNO, is E. The quinoline ring forms dihedral angles of 67.21 (10) and 71.68 (10)degrees with the benzene and bromo-substituted benzene rings, respectively. High-lighting the non-planar arrangement of aromatic rings, the dihedral angle formed between the benzene rings is 58.57 (12)degrees.

(2E)-3-(4-Ethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-methyl-4-phenylquinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-on e monohydrate

The title hydrate, C27H23NO2 center dot H2O, features an almost planar quinoline residue (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 angstrom) with the benzene dihedral angle = 63.80 (7)degrees] and chalcone C-C-C-O torsion angle = -103.38 (18)degrees] substituents twisted significantly out of its plane. The configuration about the C=C bond 1.340 (2) angstrom] is E. In the crystal, molecules related by the 21 symmetry operation are linked along the b axis via water molecules that form O-H center dot center dot center dot O-c and O-H center dot center dot center dot N-q hydrogen bonds (c = carbonyl and q = quinoline). A C-H center dot center dot center dot O interaction also occurs.

Spiroannulation of a cyclopentane ring. Synthesis of spiro[4.n](n+5)alk-2-en-1-ones

A methodology based on Claisen rearrangement-Wacker oxidation and intramolecular aldol condensation strategy starting from cyclic ketones leading to spiro[4.n](n+5)alk-2-en-1-ones has been developed. Thus one-pot Claisen rearrangement of the alkyl alcohols 6a-c furnished the aldehydes 8a-c, which on regiospecific oxidation using Wacker conditions generated the keto-aldehydes 9a-c. Finally, intramolecular aldol condensation transformed the keto-aldehydes 9a-c into spiroannulated products 10a-c.

(2E)-1-(5-Chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title molecule, C(16)H(15)ClO(4)S, the chlorothiophene and trimethoxyphenyl rings make a dihedral angle of 31.12 (5)degrees. The C = C double bond exhibits an E conformation. In the crystal, C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions generate bifurcated bonds, linking the molecules into chains along the b axis.

(2E)-1-(5-Chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title compound, C(15)H(13)ClO(3)S, the chlorothiophene and dimethoxyphenyl groups are linked by a prop-2-en-1-one group. The C=C double bond exhibits an E conformation. The molecule is non-planar, with a dihedral angle of 31.12 (5)degrees between the chlorothiophene and dimethoxyphenyl rings. The methoxy group at position 3 is coplanar with the benzene ring to which it is attached, with a C-O-C-C torsion angle of -3.8 (3)degrees. The methoxy group attached at position 2 of the benzene ring is in a (+)synclinal conformation, as indicated by the C-O-C-C torsion angle of -73.6 (2)degrees. In the crystal, two different C-H center dot center dot center dot O intermolecular interactions generate chains of molecules extending along the b axis.

Synthesis, growth, and characterization of a new NLO material 3-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

3-(2,3-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (DMPP) a potential second harmonic generating (SHG) has been synthesized and grown as a single crystal by the slow evaporation technique at ambient temperature. The structure determination of the grown crystal was done by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. DMPP crystallizes with orthorhombic system with cell parameters a = 20.3106(8)angstrom, b = 4.9574(2)angstrom, c = 13.4863(5)angstrom, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 90 degrees, gamma = 90 degrees and space group Pca2(1). The crystals were characterized by FT-IR, thermal analysis, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy and SHG measurements. Various functional groups present in DMPP were ascertained by FTIR analysis. DMPP is thermally stable up to 80 degrees C and optically transparent in the visible region. The crystal exhibits SHG efficiency comparable to that of KDP. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
