The crystal structure of the title compound, C(15)H(17)BrN(2)O(4)S, is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds which link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The dihedral angle subtended by the 4-bromo-phenyl group with the mean plane passing through the hydantoin unit is 83.29 (5)°. The cyclo-hexyl group adopts an ideal chair conformation with the methyl group in an equatori...

In the title compound, C(11)H(14)N(2)O(3), the bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges. Weak inter-molecular N-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into chains along the a axis. A non-classical intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action (nitro O atom and a H atom of the nearest methyl group) is found, forming a six-membered ring with a twisted conformation. This six-membered ring has a twiste...

In the title compound, C(14)H(15)IO(4)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions between a methyl H atom and the benzene ring of an adjacent mol-ecule, and by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Most of the literature dealing with the participation of citrovorum factor and vitamin Blz in the formation and transfer of l-carbon intermediates stresses the donor compounds serine, glycine, and formate as precursors of the 5-methyl group of thymidine (2). Uracil deoxyriboside, first isolated in crystalline form by Dekker and Todd (3) in 1950, is known to arise as a result of the deamination ...

Enzymes possessing catalytic zinc centers perform a variety of fundamental processes in nature, including methyl transfer to thiols. Cobalamin-independent (MetE) and cobalamin-dependent (MetH) methionine synthases are two such enzyme families. Although they perform the same net reaction, transfer of a methyl group from methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine (Hcy) to form methionine, they displa...

DNA methylation plays important roles via regulation of numerous cellular mechanisms in diverse organisms, including humans. The paradigm bacterial methyltransferase (MTase) HhaI (M.HhaI) catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from the cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) onto the target cytosine in DNA, yielding 5-methylcytosine and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy). The turnover rate ...

The [RhCl(CO)dppp](2)-catalyzed intramolecular carbonylative [2 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of allenenes was developed to prepare bicyclo[4.3.0]nonenones possessing a methyl group at the ring junction, which is difficult to achieve by the Pauson-Khand reaction of the corresponding enynes. This method also provided a new procedure for the construction of the tricyclo[6.4.0.0(1,5)]dodecenone framework...

In the title compound, [Rh(C10H9O2)(CO)2], a distorted square-planar coordination geometry is observed around the Rh(I) atom, formed by the O atoms of the bidentate ligand and two C atoms from the carbonyl ligands. The Rh(I) atom is displaced from the plane through the surrounding atoms by 0.017 Å. In the crystal, C-H⋯O inter-action is observed between a methyl group of the bidentate ligand and...

In the title compound, C(12)H(17)NO(3)S, the amide H atom is syn to the ortho-methyl group of the benzene ring and the C-S-N-C torsion angle is -65.39 (17)°. The crystal structure features inversion-related dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds in which the acceptor O atom is bound to the S atom.

The methine C atom of the triphenyl-methyl group in the title compound, C(28)H(23)IO(2)S, is slightly flattened out [ΣC(phen-yl)-C-C(phen-yl) = 335.6 (5)°]. The -C-O-C-C-S- chain connecting the triphenyl-methyl group and the aromatic ring adopts an extended zigzag conformation, these five atoms lying on an approximate plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.120 Å).
