The title compound, C(40)H(32)N(2), has crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry, with two C atoms lying on the axis. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings of the 4-phenyl-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl group is 35.74 (17)°. The acenaphthene ring makes an angle of 76.93 (11)° with the benzene ring bonded to the N atom and an angle of 41.53 (13)° with the other benzene ring.

A chloroform extract from roots of Craniolaria annua provided six new C-11 unsubstituted abietanes, 14-hydroxy-6,12-dione-7,9(11),13-abietatriene (1), 14-hydroxy-12-oxo-7,9(11),13-abietatriene (2), 6,12,14-trihydroxyabieta-5,8,11,13-tetraen-7-one (3), ar-abietatriene-12-ol-6,7-dione-14,16-oxide (4), ar-abietatriene-12,16-diol-14,16-oxide (5) and ar-abietatriene-12-ol-7-one-14,16-oxide (6), and ...

In the title compound, C(42)H(33)NO(2), the six-membered cyclo-hexa-none ring adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation and the five-membered pyrrolidine ring is in an envelope conformation. The mol-ecular structure features four intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions and an intra-molecular C-H⋯π inter-action. Furthermore, the crystal packing is stabilized by an inter-molecular C-H⋯O and thre...

Six related organo–chalconium silver(I) coordination complexes, including two examples of rare organotellurium-silver coordination, have been prepared and structurally characterised by X-ray crystallography. The series of 5-bromo-6-(phenylchalcogeno)acenaphthene ligands L1–L3 [Acenap(Br)(EPh)] (Acenap = acenaphthene-5,6-diyl; E = S, Se, Te) were independently treated with silver(I) salts (AgBF4...

Tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azonin-2,7-dione (2a) has been used as a precursor in the synthesis of dibenzo[b,f ][1,5]diazacyclododecene and dibenzo[b,g][1,6]diazacyclododecene ring systems 4 and 5, respectively, via periodate oxidation of the appropriate indolo-benzo[b]azonines 3 and 7. The synthesis of hexahydro-benzo[b][1,4]diazecin-2,7-dione (10) has been achieved by the Schmidt reaction of 2a. Th...

BACKGROUND Adrenal androgens play an important role in the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer therapeutics. The effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists on adrenal androgens has not been studied sufficiently. We measured testicular and adrenal androgen levels in patients treated with a GnRH antagonist. METHODS This study included 47 patients with histologic...

In the cation of the title salt, [Ag(C(12)H(6)N(2)O(2))(2)](C(7)H(3)N(2)O(7)), the Ag(I) atom is coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione ligands, while the 3,5-dinitro-salicylate anion has only a short contact [2.847 (6) Å] between one of its O atoms and the Ag(I) atom. The dihedral angle between the two 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dio...

brønsted acidic ionic liquid triethylamine-bonded sulfonic acid {[et3n-so3h]cl} efficiently catalyzes the one-pot multi-component condensation of 2-naphthol with arylaldehydes and dimedone (5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) under solvent-free conditions to afford 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthen-11-ones in high yields and relatively short reaction times.
