The title compound, C30H48O2, contains a fused four-ring triterpenoid system. In the mol-ecule, the two cyclo-hexane rings adopt a chair conformation and a twist boat conformation, respectively, the central cyclo-hexene ring adopts a half-chair conformation whereas the five membered ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the hy-droxy and carbonyl grou...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H14N2O3, contains two independent mol-ecules with similar conformations. In the both mol-ecules, the cyclo-hexene rings adopt the same envelope conformation with the flap C atoms lying 0.658 (3) and 0.668 (3) Å from the mean planes formed by the remaining atoms. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are connected via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(17)H(15)NO(4), contains two independent mol-ecules with similar geometric parameters. In both mol-ecules, the conformation of the cyclo-hexene ring is half-chair, while the pyrrolidinone ring adopts an envelope conformation with the γ-carbon atom of the α-pyrrolidinone ring as the flap. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carb-oxylic and...

The title compound, C(21)H(19)BrN(2)OS, exists in a cis conformation with respect to the N=C bond [1.2602 (14) Å]. The cyclo-hexene ring adopts a distorted half-chair conformation and the C-N bond lies in an equatorial orientation. The thia-zolidine ring forms dihedral angles of 53.76 (7) and 57.22 (7)° with the benzene and bromo-substituted benzene rings, respectively. The dihedral angle betwe...

Computations involving the cyclization of the 5-hexenyl radical to produce methylcyclopentane (81%), 1-hexene (17%), and cyclohexane (2%) as a result, proved that the reaction is kinetically rather than thermodynamically controlled. Specifically the stereoelectronic requirement of the addition of the radical center to the alkene in the transition state is the underlying factor of the difference...

In the title compound, C(17)H(19)NO(5), the cyclo-hexene ring is in a half-chair conformation and the isoxazole ring in an envelope conformation with the N atom as the flap. The C atoms in the 4- and 6-positions are of the same absolute configuration, whereas the C atom in the 5-position is of the opposite configuration, i.e. (4S*,5R*,6S*). The methyl fragment of the eth-oxy-carbonyl group at p...

The chromium(I) dinitrogen complex [(i-Pr2Ph)2nacnacCr]2(μ-η(2):η(2)-N2) catalyzes the selective trimerization of ethylene to 1-hexene at ambient pressure and temperature, and in the absence of any cocatalyst. After the conversion of the substrate, the catalyst cleanly converts to another chromium(I) species, namely [(i-Pr2Ph)2nacnacCr]2(μ-η(2):η(2)-C2H4), which is not catalytically active. Bin...

In the title mol-ecule, C(21)H(19)ClO(3), the cyclo-hexene ring adopts an envelope conformation, with all substituents equatorial. The plane through its five coplanar atoms makes dihedral angles of 12.75 (14) and 74.16 (8)° with the phenyl and benzene rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the latter two rings is 81.73 (12)°. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and intra-molecular C-H...

In the title compound, C(15)H(14)N(2)OS, the pyridinone ring in the fused-ring system is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.011 Å) and the cyclo-hexene ring has a twisted half-boat conformation with the methyl-ene C atom adjacent to the methine C atom deviating by 0.592 (7) Å from the plane defined by the remaining five atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.108 Å). The thienyl ring is disordered over tw...

The effect of nanostructured supports on the activity of Rh catalysts was studied by comparing the catalytic performance of nanoand bulk-oxide supported Rh/ZnO, Rh/SiO2 and Rh/TiO2 systems in 1-hexene hydroformylation. The highest activity with 100% total conversion and 96% yield of aldehydes was obtained with the Rh/nano-ZnO catalyst. The Rh/nano-ZnO catalyst was found to be more stable and ac...
