The title compound, C13H13N2O3, a hydantoin derivative, crystallized with two mol-ecules (A and B) in an asymmetric unit. In mol-ecule A, the imidazolidine ring is twisted about the C-N bond involving the spiro C atom, while in mol-ecule B this ring is flat (r.m.s. deviation = 0.010 Å). The pyran rings in both mol-ecules have distorted half-chair conformations. The mean plane of the imidazolidi...

In the title compound, C35H27N3O3S, the spiro-linked five-membered rings both adopt twisted conformations. The pyrrolidine ring makes dihedral angles of 80.5 (1) and 77.4 (9)° with the benzo-thio-phene ring system and the quinoxaline ring system, respectively. The S atom and C=O unit of the benzo-thio-phene ring system are disordered over two opposite orientations in a 0.768 (4):0.232 (4) ratio...

In the title compound, C(30)H(22)BrNO(2), the cyclo-pentane ring of the dihydro-acenaphthyl-ene group and the pyrrolidine ring are both in envelope conformations with the spiro C atom and N atom, respectively, as the flap atom. The cyclo-pentane ring of the indane group adopts a half-chair conformation. A weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond forms an S(8) ring motif. The naphthalene ring sy...

The benzoannulation of the most common families of aromatic NHCs, imidazol-2-ylidenes and 1,2,4-triazol-3-ylidenes, results in heterobicyclic imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-ylidenes ('s) and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-ylidenes ('s), characterized by a bridged N atom. These are versatile platforms that offer multiple possibilities for the modulation of the steric and electronic properties of the c...

Present communication deals with the synthesis and characterization of various spiro thiazolinone heterocyclic compounds. 4-(4-(6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridin-5(4H)-ylsulfonyl)phenyl)-1-thia-4-azaspiro[4.5]decan-3-one (5) was synthesized by facile and fast heterocyclization reaction, which further underwent condensation with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde to afford 2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-4-(4-(6,7-dihy...

Intramolecular cyclic etherification of 1,3-diols was investigated using iodine as a catalyst under solution reaction conditions. Compounds containing five-membered ether rings were obtained. Propella ether (11-oxatricyclo[4.4.3.0(1,6)]tridecane) was conveniently synthesized from 1,3-diol (6-(2-hydroxyethyl)spiro[4.5]decan-6-ol) in 97% yield via carbon skeleton rearrangement. Spiroethers and bi...

Spiro-N,N-ketal 5, consisting of a phthaloperine heterocyclic ring and a naphtha[1,8-ef][1,4]diazepine ring, was obtained along with spiro-N,N-ketal 2 via 2,2-condensation in the reaction of ninhydrin with naphthalene-1,8-diamine. Their molecular structures were elucidated by X-ray crystal structural analysis. Aside from these spiro compounds, the diazapleiadiene compound 3 formed by 1,2-conde...

We fabricated perovskite solar cells using a triple-layer of n-type doped, intrinsic, and p-type doped 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(N,N'-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) (n-i-p) as hole transport layer (HTL) by vacuum evaporation. The doping concentration for n-type doped spiro-OMeTAD was optimized to adjust the highest occupied molecular orbital of spiro-OMeTAD to match the v...

A re-examination of cuticular components of Heliotropium filifolium allowed the isolation of four new compounds: 3'-hydroxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzo-furan-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylic acid(2), methyl 3'-acetyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylate (3), methyl 3'-isopentanoyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carbox...
