A novel norsesquiterpene, named norcyperone (1), and three known compounds: (-)-clovane-2,9-diol (2), rosenonolactone (3), and 5 alpha,8 alpha-epidioxy-(20S,22E,24R)-ergosta-6,22-dien-3beta-ol (4) were isolated from the rhizomes of Cyperus rotundus L. The structure of 1 was elucidated as 8,11,11-trimethylbicyclo[5.3.1]undecane-5 alpha, 8 alpha-epoxy-3-one on the basis of extensive spectroscopic...

(RS)-(±)-2-Methoxy-carbonyl-3-tropinone is an important inter-mediate for the preparation of cocaine and its derivatives. The molecule in the title compound, C(10)H(16)NO(3) (+)·C(4)H(5)O(6) (-), is present as the enol tautomer. The six-membered ring adopts a half boat conformation, and the five-membered ring a slightly distorted envelope conformation. There are intra- and inter-molecular hydro...

The stereoselective Diels-Alder reaction between an optically active 1,4-dimethylcycloheptadiene and acrolein was effectively promoted by TBSOTf to produce a bicyclo[3.2.2]nonene derivative bearing two quaternary carbons. Seven additional transformations from the obtained bicycle delivered the C 2-symmetric bicyclo[3.3.2]decene derivative, a key intermediate in our synthetic study of ryanodine.

The objectives of this research was to determine the chemical composition of roscoe extract from methanol and evaluation of antibacterial activity. The phytochemical compound screened by GC-MS method. Forty eight bioactive phytochemical compounds were identified in the methanolic extract of Zingiber officinale. The identification of phytochemical compounds is based on the peak area, retention t...

Disproving a long C-C-bond textbook example: The reported 1.643 Å C-C bond in 5-cyano-1,3-dehydroadamantane was redetermined and "only" amounts to 1.584 Å. While this value is well reproduced with ab initio methods, some common DFT approaches perform poorly and are only consistent with CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ optimizations for noninverted carbons. Large deviations from experiment were also found for ot...

In the title compound, C(6)H(14)N(2+)·C(8)H(4)O(4) (2-), the protonated 1,4-diazo-niabicyclo-[2.2.2]octane cations and the deprotonated terephthalate anions are alternately linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains.

In the title compound, C20H22N2O2, the central pyridine ring forms a dihedral angle of 76.32 (8)° with the pseudo-axial benzene ring. The cyclo-octane ring adopts a twisted boat chair conformation. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions between inversion-related mol-ecules result in the formation of linear double chains along the b-axis direction.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C(8)H(15)N(3))[MnCl(4)], the Mn atom is coordinated by four chloride ligands in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. Each [MnCl(4)](2-) anion is connected to the 1-cyano-methyl-1,4-diazo-niabicyclo-[2.2.2]octane dications by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to [001].
