Title: Synthesis and crystal structure of a bench-stable pyridinium ketene hemiaminal: 1-(1-ethoxyethenyl)-2-[methyl(phenyl)amino]pyridin-1-ium trifluoromethanesulfonate

The novel bench-stableN-quaternized keteneN,O-acetal, C16H19N2O+·CF3O3S, was synthesized and its structure determined. The title compound is a rare example of a pyridinium ketene hemiaminal for which a crystal structure has been determined, joining the 2-chloro-1-(1-ethyoxyethenyl)pyridin-1-ium trifluoromethanesulfonate salt from which it was synthesized. The cationic species of the title compound can be defined by three individually planar fragments assembling into a non-coplanar cation. The phenyl substituent extending from the amino nitrogen atom and the ethyoxyvinyl substituent extending from the pyridine N atom are oriented on the same side of the molecule and maintain the closest coplanar relationship of the three fragments. Supramolecular interactions are dominated by C—H...O interactions from the cation to the SO3side of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion, forming a two-dimensional substructure.

  1. The title thiazole orange derivative, bearing an alkene substituent, crystallized as a monohydrate of its iodide salt, namely, (Z)-1-(hex-5-en-1-yl)-4-{[3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylidene]methyl}quinolin-1-ium iodide monohydrate, C24H25N2S+·I·H2O. The packing features aromatic π-stacking and van der Waals interactions. The water molecule of crystallization interacts with the cation and anionviaO—H...N and O—H...I hydrogen bonds, respectively.

  2. The title complex, (1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane-1κ6O)(μ-oxalato-1κ2O1,O2:2κ2O1′,O2′)triphenyl-2κ3C-potassium(I)tin(IV), [KSn(C6H5)3(C2O4)(C12H24O6)] or K[18-Crown-6][(C6H5)3SnO4C2], was synthesized. The complex consists of a potassium cation coordinated to the six oxygen atoms of a crown ether molecule and the two oxygen atoms of the oxalatotriphenylstannate anion. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system within the space groupP21. The tin atom is coordinated by one chelating oxalate ligand and three phenyl groups, forming acis-trigonal–bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom. The cations and anions form ion pairs, linked through carbonyl coordination to the potassium atoms. The crystal structure features C—H...O hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atoms of the oxalate group and the hydrogen atoms of the phenyl groups, resulting in an infinite chain structure extending alonga-axis direction. The primary inter-chain interactions are van der Waals forces.

  3. The crystal structure of the title compound, C15H20N2orDippIm, is reported. At 106 (2) K, the molecule has monoclinicP21/c symmetry with four molecules in the unit cell. The imidazole ring is rotated 80.7 (1)° relative to the phenyl ring. Intermolecular stabilization primarily results from close contacts between the N atom at the 3-position on the imidazole ring and the C—H bond at the 4-position on the neighboringDippIm, with aryl–aryl distances outside of the accepted distance of 5 Å for π-stacking.

In the crystal, C 1 1 (9) chains of C—H...O interactions are formed, propogating in the c -axis direction. The N—H hydrogen atom forms a strong hydrogen bond with the oxygen atom of a DMSO solvate molecule.

  5. The title compound, C8H18NO2+·Br·C8H17NO2, crystallizes as the bromide salt of a 50:50 mixture of (triethylazaniumyl)carboxylic acid and the zwitterionic (triethylazaniumyl)carboxylate. The two organic entities are linked by a half-occupied bridging carboxylic acid hydrogen atom that is hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate group of the second molecule. The tetralkylammonium group adopts a nearly perfect tetrahedral shape around the nitrogen atom with bond lengths that agree with known values. The carboxylic acid/carboxylate group is orientedantito one of the ethyl groups on the ammonium group, and the carbonyl oxygen atom is engaged in intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
