A practical and green synthesis of 3-substituted indoles is reported via three-component coupling reaction of indoles, aldehydes and N-methylaniline in the presence of the acidic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIm]HSO4) under ultrasound irradiation at room temperature. The significant features of this procedure are high yields of the products, simple work-up, opera...

The title salt, C(16)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2C(7)H(7)O(3)S(-), crystallizes with the dication situated on an inversion center and the anion in a general position. The cation contains two ammonium and two free amine groups, and the observed conformation for the chain linking the benzene rings is different from that found in the free tetra-amine and in the fully protonated tetra-amine. All amine and ammo...

The structure of the title non-centrosymmetric organic-inorganic hybrid salt, (C8H12NO)2[ZnCl4], consists of two 4-meth-oxy-benzyl-ammonium cations sandwiched between anionic layers, formed by isolated tetra-chlorido-zincate tetra-hedra. The double layers extend parallel to the ac plane. The crystal packing is assured by Coulombic inter-actions and by a complex N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bondin...

Four mol-ecular salts made from hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-minium and 2-chloro-4-nitro-benzoate have been synthesized and are reported, namely ammonium hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-minium bis-(2-chloro-4-nitro-benzoate), NH4+·C6H13N4+·2C7H3ClNO4-, (I), hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-minium hydrogen bis-(2-chloro-4-nitro-benzoate), 0.5C6H13N4+·C7H3.50ClNO4-, (II), hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-minium 2-chloro-4-nitro-benzoa...

The title compound, C(21)H(26)N(2)O, was obtained as an unexpected by-product when attempting to prepare (S)-2-benzyl-N-tert-butyl-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-isoquinoline-3-carboxamide from (S)-2-benzyl-amino-N-tert-butyl-3-phenyl-propanamide and dimethoxy-methane. The mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating linear chains parallel to the b axis. C-H⋯π inter-actions provide furth...

The octa-hedral cluster core of the anion in the structure of the title compound, (C(16)H(36)N)(3)[Mo(6)(C(4)H(9)S)(6)(μ(3)-Cl)(7)(μ(3)-S)]·2H(2)O, has -3 site symmetry. Two μ(3)-Cl atoms fully occupy positions in the cluster core, while the remaining six positions are statistically occupied by Cl and S atoms in a 1:5 ratio. The fully occupied Cl-atom positions are located on sites with 3 symme...

The title chiral quaternary ammonium salt, C(13)H(25)N(4) (+)·I(-), was synthesized through the Menschutkin reaction between the cage aminal (2S,7S)-1,8,10,12-tetra-aza-tetra-cyclo-[8.3.1.1(8,12).0(2,7)]penta-decane and ethyl iodide. The quaternization occurred regioselectively on the nitrogen with major sp3 character. The crystal structure consists of anions and cations separated by normal dis...

The structure of the title salt, (C(6)H(14)N)(2)[CuBr(4)], is built up from cyclo-hexyl-ammonium cations and tetra-bromidocuprate anions, the latter being located on an inversion center. In the crystal, anions and cations are inter-connected by N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons parallel to [0-11].

The title compound, 2C(2)H(8)N(+)·C(30)H(12)N(2)O(12) (2-)·2H(2)O, comprises dimethyl-ammonium cations, 3,3'-dicarb-oxy-5,5'-(5,7,12,14-tetra-oxo-6,13-diaza-tetra-cyclo-[6.6.2.0(4,16).0(11,15)]hexa-deca-1,3,8,10,15-penta-ene-6,13-di-yl)dibenzoate dianions and water mol-ecules. The dianion is situated on a crystallographic inversion centre. Two very strong symmetry-restricted O⋯H⋯O hydrogen bond...

In the title mol-ecular salt, (C(6)H(16)N)(2)[CuCl(4)], the Cu(II) ion adopts an extremely distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry. All the ammonium H atoms are involved in N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, which serve to link the cations and anions into chains propagating along the c-axis direction.
