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.

Interception and Synthetic Application of Diradical and Diene Forms of Dual‐Nature Azabicyclic o ‐Quinodimethanes Generated by 6π‐Azaelectrocyclization
Abstract We demonstrate that 2‐alkenylarylaldimines and ketimines undergo thermal 6π‐azaelectrocyclization to generate a wide range of azabicyclico‐quinodimethanes (o‐QDMs). Theseo‐QDMs exist as a hybrid of a diene and a benzylic diradical. The diradical nature was confirmed by their ability to undergo dimerization and react with H‐atom donor, 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐yl)oxyl (TEMPO) and O2. In addition, the interception of the diradicaloido‐QDMs by H‐atom transfer was used to synthesize five tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids and related bioactive molecules. The diene form can undergo [4+2] cycloaddition reactions with different dienophiles to generate bridged azabicycles in high endo:exo selectivity. The azabicyclico‐QDMs can be generated for [4+2] cycloaddition from a wide range of electronically and sterically varied 2‐alkenylarylimines, including mono, di, tri and tetrasubstituted alkenes, and imines derived from arylamine, alkylamine (1°, 2°, 3°), benzylamine, benzylsulfonamide andBoc‐amine.

Abstract N‐alkylation of 5‐hydroxynicotinic acid esters with electrophiles containing diene functionality produces salts that undergo intramolecular (4+3) cycloaddition reactions upon heating in the presence of base. Initial studies used a three‐carbon tether to join the pyridinium ion and diene, revealing some aspects of the inherent selectivity of the reaction with such substrates. Much more challenging was the synthesis of related species possessing only a two‐carbon tether. Nevertheless, the cycloaddition of such compounds was successful, leading directly to the ABC ring system of the alkaloid daphnicyclidin A.more » « less

The title compound, systematic name tris(μ2-perfluoro-o-phenylene)(μ2-3-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one)-triangulo-trimercury, [Hg3(C6F4)3(C15H10O2)], crystallizes in the monoclinicP21/nspace group with one flavone (FLA) and one cyclic trimeric perfluoro-o-phenylenemercury (TPPM) molecule per asymmetric unit. The FLA molecule is located on one face of the TPPM acceptor and is linked in an asymmetric coordination of its carbonyl oxygen atom with two Hg centers of the TPPM macrocycle. The angular-shaped complexes pack in zigzag chains where they stackviatwo alternating TPPM–TPPM and FLA–FLA stacking patterns. The distance between the mean planes of the neighboring TPPM macrocycles in the stack is 3.445 (2) Å, and that between the benzo-γ-pyrone moieties of FLA is 3.328 (2) Å. The neighboring stacks are interdigitated through the shortened F...F, CH...F and CH...π contacts, forming a dense crystal structure.more » « less

The structures of three racemic (tetrahydro-[1,3]dioxino[5,4-d][1,3]dioxin-4-yl)methanol derivatives are reported, namely, 4-[(methylsulfonyloxy)methyl]-2,4,4a,6,8,8a-hexahydro-[1,3]dioxino[5,4-d][1,3]dioxine, C8H14O7S,1, 4-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-2,4,4a,6,8,8a-hexahydro-[1,3]dioxino[5,4-d][1,3]dioxine, C14H18O5,2, and 4-[(anilinocarbonyl)methyl]-2,4,4a,6,8,8a-hexahydro-[1,3]dioxino[5,4-d][1,3]dioxine, C14H17NO6,3. Mesylate ester1at 173 K has triclinicP\overline{1} symmetry and both benzyl ether2at 173 K and phenyl urethane3have monoclinicP21/csymmetry. These structures are of interest because of the conformation of thecis-fused tetraoxadecalin ring system. Thiscis-bicyclo[4.4.0]decane ring system,i.e. cis-decalin, can undergo conformational equilibration. In the two most stable conformers, both six-membered rings adopt a chair conformation. However, there are significant consequences in these two stable conformers, with heteroatom substitution at the 1,3,5,7-ring positions as described. Only one conformation, denoted as `concave' or `inside', is found in these crystal structures. This is consistent with previously reported structures of the 1,1-geminal dihydroxy aldehyde and tosylate analogs.more » « less

Abstract Thesynandantiisomers of [FeIV(O)(TMC)]2+(TMC=tetramethylcyclam) represent the first isolated pair of synthetic non‐heme oxoiron(IV) complexes with identical ligand topology, differing only in the position of the oxo unit bound to the iron center. Both isomers have previously been characterized. Reported here is that thesynisomer [FeIV(Osyn)(TMC)(NCMe)]2+(2) converts into itsantiform [FeIV(Oanti)(TMC)(NCMe)]2+(1) in MeCN, an isomerization facilitated by water and monitored most readily by1H NMR and Raman spectroscopy. Indeed, when H218O is introduced to2, the nascent1becomes18O‐labeled. These results provide compelling evidence for a mechanism involving direct binding of a water moleculetransto the oxo atom in2with subsequent oxo–hydroxo tautomerism for its incorporation as the oxo atom of1. The nonplanar nature of the TMC supporting ligand makes this isomerization an irreversible transformation, unlike for their planar heme counterparts.more » « less
