In the title compound, C17H16N2O, the fused benzimidazol-2(3H)-one system is essentially planar, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.006 (2) Å for the carbonyl C atom. Its mean plane is almost perpendicular to the benzyl plane and to the allyl group, making dihedral angles of 80.6 (1) and 77.4 (3)°, respectively. The benzyl group and the allyl subsituent lie on opposite sides of t...

In the title mol-ecule, C16H14ClNO4, the four essentially planar atoms of the imide group [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0286 (11) Å] form a dihedral angle of 77.36 (13)° with the naphtho-quinone group [maximun deviation = 0.111 (2) Å for the carbonyl O atom in the naphthalene 1-position] and the two imide carbonyl groups are oriented anti with respect to each other. In the crystal, mol-ecules are conne...

ome of the most useful reactions of carbonyl compounds involve carbonhydrogen bonds adjacent to the carbonyl group. Such reactions, which can be regarded as the backbone of much synthetic organic chemistry, usually result in the replacement of the hydrogen by some other atom or group, as in the I I I I sequence H-C-C=O -+ X-C-C=O. The important examples we I I will consider in this chapter are ...

In the title compound, C9H15NO2, the piperidine ring exhibits a chair conformation. The butane-dione subunit exhibits a conformation with the ketone C atom in an eclipsed position with respect to the amide carbonyl group. In the crystal, a two-dimensional layered arrangement is formed by hydrogen bonds of the C-H⋯O type between the methyl group and the exocyclic methyl-ene unit as donor sites a...

Carbonyl containing xenobiotics may be susceptible to NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 (P450) and carbonyl-reduction reactions. In vitro hepatic microsome assays are routinely supplied NADPH either by direct addition of NADPH or via an NADPH-regenerating system (NRS). In contrast to oxidative P450 transformations, which occur on the periphery of a microsome vesicle, intraluminal carbonyl reducti...

the difficult to handle and store zinc borohydride, zn(bh4)2, is stabilized by supporting it on polyvinylpyridine. this new mild, efficient, selective, and regenerable polymer supported borohydride reducing agent reduces a variety organic compounds such as, aldehydes, a-b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, acid chlorides, epoxides, disulfides, as well as reductive acetylation of carbonyl compounds...

Cyclobutanones reacted with alkynes in the presence of nickel(0) catalysts to produce cyclohexenones. Oxidative cyclization of the carbonyl group of the cyclobutanone and the alkyne with the nickel(0) was followed by beta-carbon elimination from the resulting oxanickelacyclopentene and subsequent reductive elimination. This reaction achieves a formal alkyne insertion between the carbonyl carbon...

In the title compound, C(13)H(18)N(2)O(2)S, the carbonyl-thio-urea fragment is nearly planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0096 Å. The dihedral angle between carbonyl-thio-urea group and the benzene ring is 19.16 (16)°. There are two intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which lead to two pseudo-six-membered rings. Weak intra-molecular C-H⋯S hydrogen bonding also occurs.
