The title compound, C(28)H(16)N(2)O(5), is a bis-imide derivative in which two phthalimide units are linked by an oxydi-p-phenyl-ene bridge. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two central benzene rings is 86.1 (4)°. The isoindole groups make dihedral angles of 46.0 (14) and 77.5 (13)° with the attached benzene rings. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability of ...

The carbohydrazide 1 was used as the precursor for the synthesis of a number of new aromatic C-nucleosides containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole 7, [1,3,4]oxadiazolo[2,3-a]isoindole 10b and pyrazole units 18. On the other hand, the thiosemicarbazone 20 was used as the key intermediate for synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazole  and 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione derivatives 21 and 23. The antioxidant activities of the p...

In the title compound, C30H20N2O6·C2H6O·0.5H2O, the solvent water mol-ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis. The dihedral angle between the essentially planar isoindole ring systems [maximum deviations = 0.028 (1) and 0.022 (1) Å] is 47.12 (5)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 81.32 (7)°. In the crystal, the components are linked into a three-dimensional network via O-H⋯O hydrog...

The title compound, C(14)H(4)Cl(4)FNO(2), has crystallographic twofold symmetry with the N and F atoms and two C atoms of the benzene ring located on a twofold rotation axis. The isoindole-dione ring system is almost planar [maximum atomic deviation = 0.036 (3) Å], and is twisted with respect to the florobenzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 58.56 (16)°. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen ...

The two activities of chicken liver 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase were inactivated by o-phthalaldehyde. Absorbance and fluorescence spectra of the modified enzyme were consistent with the formation of an isoindole derivative (1 mol/mol of enzyme subunit). The inactivation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase by o-phthalaldehyde was faster than the inactivation of fructose-2,6-bisp...

In the title compound, C(26)H(20)N(2)O(4), the central isoindole core is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.043 Å). The phenyl rings lie to either side of the plane [dihedral angles = 88.64 (5) and 67.74 (6)°] and the dihedral angle between the phenyl rings is 63.39 (7)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions; notably, one carbonyl O atom accepts three such bonds.

The synthesis of 1H-benzo[f ]isoindole derivatives was achieved by the cascade radical cyclization–cyclization reaction of the active methine substrate having an allyl group and phenyl group as different two radical acceptors. This oxidative transformation proceeded by using iron(III) chloride FeCl3 as a mild oxidant via the intramolecular radical addition to the allyl group followed by the sec...
