In the title compound, C(25)H(20)N(2)O(5)S, the benzodioxole ring system is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.021 (2) Å] and forms dihedral angles of 85.2 (1) and 74.2 (1)°, respectively, with the formyl benzene and sulfonyl-bound benzene rings. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate C(8) chains along [100] and R(3) (3)(19) ring motifs. In addition, a weak π-π inter-action [centr...

The title mol-ecule, C(18)H(17)NO(4)S, features a 1,3-thia-zolidine ring that is twisted about the S-C(methyl-ene) bond. With reference to this ring, the 1,3-benzodioxole and benzene rings lie to either side and form dihedral angles of 69.72 (16) and 83.60 (14)°, respectively, with the central ring. Significant twisting in the mol-ecule is confirmed by the dihedral angle of 79.91 (13)° formed b...

The conversion of 3,4-dialkoxy-benzenes into dialkoxy-benzo-1,3,2-dithiazolyls is described and representative examples (1 and 2) derived from benzodioxole and veratrol, respectively, are reported. Whilst 1 is a dimeric pi*-pi* dimer, the dimethoxy derivative 2 is monomeric in the solid state and exhibits antiferromagnetic interactions.

The title compound, C(36)H(36)N(4)O(4), was prepared as a spiro-lactam ring formation of the rhodamine dye for comparison with a ring-opened form. The xanthene ring system is approximately planar [r.m.s. deviations from planarity = 0.023 (9) Å for the xanthene ring]. The dihedral angles formed by the spiro-lactam and 1,3-benzodioxole rings with the xanthene ring system are 86.8 (1) and 74.3 (1)...

In the title compound, C(23)H(15)N(3)O(2), significant deviations from planarity are evidenced in the values of the dihedral angles formed between the amino-benzene ring and the benzene rings of the 1,3-benzodioxole [65.38 (12)°] and 1,2-dihydro-naphthalene [26.27 (14)°] residues; the dioxole ring has an envelope conformation with the methyl-ene-C being the flap atom. The amino-H atoms form hyd...

In the title compound, C(11)H(10)O(3), the benzodioxole ring adopts a flattened [puckering parameters: q(2) = 0.107 (2) Å, ϕ(2) = 160 (1)°] envelope conformation with the methylene C atom as the flap. The crystal packing features chains, parallel to the c axis, composed of dimers connected by weak C-H-O hydrogen bonds and extending in layers in the bc plane.

A simple intermediate for the synthesis of methoxy-analogues coenzymes Q with substituents having various chain lengths based on natural polyalkoxyallylbenzene apiol has been developed.

The title compound, C(28)H(19)NO(2), was synthesized by the reaction of 1,3-benzodioxole-5-carbaldehyde with naphthalen-2-amine catalyzed by thio-salicylic acid in acetic acid. The central dihydropyridine ring adopts a boat conformation. The two planar (r.m.s. deviations = 0.0158 and 0.0552 Å) bicyclic parts make a dihedral angle of 16.16 (5)° with respect to each other. The crystal packing is ...
