BACKGROUND Over the years, a great deal of effort has been focused on the design and synthesis of potent, linear peptide inhibitors targeting the polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), which is critically involved in multiple mitotic processes and has been established as an adverse prognostic marker for tumor patients. Plk1 localizes to its intracellular anchoring sites via its polo-box domain, and inhibit...

In the title compound, C(4)H(5)NO(2), the non-H atoms are nearly coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.030 (1) Å. In the crystal, pairs of mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers.

In the title compound, C13H16N2O2S, the pyrrolidine ring has a twisted conformation on the central -CH2-CH2- bond. Its mean plane is inclined to the 4-meth-oxy-benzoyl ring by 72.79 (15)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to the same O-atom acceptor, forming chains along [001]. The chains are linked via slipped parallel π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid di...

The title compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)O, was synthesized by a solvent-free one-pot three-component domino reaction of naph-tha-len-2-ol, nicotinaldehyde and pyrrolidine. The dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring system and the pyridine ring is 74.22 (6)°. The pyrrolidine ring assumes an envelope conformation with the N atom as the flap. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond stabilizes the mo...

Using competition experiments between a range of ligands and (-)-sparteine, a reactivity series for N-Boc pyrrolidine lithiation using s-BuLi/diamines has been constructed; the results indicate that the s-BuLi/(+)-sparteine surrogate complex is more reactive than s-BuLi/(-)-sparteine and this has been exploited in the selection of ligand pairs for ligand exchange catalytic asymmetric lithiation...

This note describes a sequence converting an oxime-substituted pyrrolidine into a trisubstituted pyrrole structure. The synthetic route is based on a double chlorination of the pyrrolidine substrate followed by the base induced formation of both an imine and a nitrile oxide functionality. The latter reacts with an immobilized thiourea to yield an isothiocyanate which upon elimination generates ...

In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(21)H(20)NO(5))], the pyrrolidine and cyclo-penta-none rings exhibit a twist conformation. The pyrrolidine ring is almost perpendicular to the cyclo-penta-none ring, making a dihedral angle of 81.91 (6)°. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond and C-H⋯O inter-actions. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-...

In the title compound, C(27)H(27)NO(3), the pyrrolidine ring exhibits a twist conformation and the piperidine ring exhibits a chair conformation. The pyrrolidine ring makes dihedral angles of 54.47 (5), 51.50 (5) and 73.37 (6)° with the napthalene ring system and the tetra-hydro-pyran and phenyl rings, respectively. The structure is stabilized by intra-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions.

In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(32)H(26)N(3)O)], the pyrrolidine ring adopts a twist conformation. The indeno-quinoxaline ring system [86.44 (5)°], the methyl-phenyl ring [86.06 (7)°] and the ferrocene rings [82.00 (7) and 83.95 (9)°] are almost perpendicular to the pyrrolidine ring. The two cyclopentadienyl rings adopt an eclipsed conformation. The crystal structure features C-H⋯N inter...
