In the title salt, C19H25N4O(+)·C24H20B(-), the C=N and C-N bond lengths in the CN3 unit are 1.3327 (8)/1.3364 (9) and 1.3802 (9) Å, indicating double- and single-bond character, respectively. The N-C-N angles are 118.77 (6), 120.29 (6) and 120.81 (6)°, showing only a small deviation of the CN3 plane from an ideal trigonal-planar geometry. The bonds between the N atoms and the terminal methyl C...

In the title compound, C(20)H(30)N(2) (2+)·2Br(-)·2H(2)O, the asymmetric unit consists of half of the N,N'-dibenzyl-N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-ethylenediammonium cation lying across an inversion center, a bromide ion and a water mol-ecule of solvation. There is an eight-membered dibromide dihydrate ring, which is formed via hydrogen bonds of the type O-H⋯Br.

An extremely facile and efficient procedure which has been developed for the synthesis of dihydropyrrol-2-ones. One-pot four-component reaction of amines, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and formaldehyde in the presence of N,N,N,N-tetramethylguanidinium acetate [TMG][Ac] in methanol at ambient temperature provides substituted dihydropyrrol-2-ones in good to high yields. The important aspects of...
